This has been happening quite a bit this year. Usually CV gets a lot of his numbers with the game not in doubt. Yi's minutes have been sporadic at times, and given he is a big part of this team's future, I believe they should start giving him 30+ minutes.

He's 5th in voting for PF's without even being on the ballot. We have an all-star for sure.

I'm not IN ANY WAY giving up on Yi, it would just be nice if he has had a couple of more nice games since that 29 point effort.

Since the 29 point game he's been in double digits 4 of 6 games and has averaged 7 and a third rebounds. He's getting better and better around the basket and his jumper's still fine. There'll be plenty of 29+ point games and double doubles in the future. Remember: he was almost Corey Brewer.

Well its pleasing that the Bucks only had six turnovers in the first half. Normally they have racked up that many by end of the first quarter.

I wish they would start giving him 30+ minutes consistently so he can show what he can do.

No worries. This team is just so god awful that being more certain we had a future all-star would dull the pain a bit.

Failed attempt to showcase.

Hey I've pointed that out myself many times here... I've even said thinking that is one thing that gets me through this season.

End of the 1st quarter? I think you mean half way through the 1st quarter.

Always play Bogut on your fantasy team when the Bucks are going against the Bobcats.

LOL at Wallace.

yep, that's a huge relief after some of the handling shockers we've had recently. 3-17 from the 3 and 4 positions sure is sad, though. And only 8 assists means we're playing a bit one-out.

Mogut starting out well in the 3rd!

Seems like he has been trying more on defense lately. He's had some decent steal numbers the last 10 games or so.

What's Bogut's career high? like 27?

He's got 15 with around 29 minutes left.
