Andrew Bogut is blossoming at the right time!

Good game. We play like a team and we win...

What a revelation!

A win is a win, I'd sure like to see us beat a good team though.

Hopefully he is developing a go to move. I have noticed that the difference between these recent games and his rookie year games where he put up monster numbers is that he needed a guard to create his dunks as a rook, but seems to be getting more points out of the post now.

He's gaining more and more confidence by the game, and his shotblocking has remained consistent. Keep it going Drew.

I place more importance on developing Bogut and Yi than winning this season, but the wins are nice when they can both happen.

bogut's block on marvin williams was hilarious

Was this the first time in this purple patch that Bogut put up big block numbers too? The most exciting thing for me in this game was to see opposition players clearly intimidated by Bogut's shot blocking on D in the paint...

For the Hawks I will say this- for every bit of ugly that Anthony Johnson is Al Horford makes up for it double fold with a pretty pretty face- Bogut obviously agrees, 'cause he was in it most of the night. ZING!

I can no longer predict what M. Redd is going to do. :clap:

Maybe he's finally buying into the team concept. Very good game from Royal Ivey: 9 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists.

Andrew Bogut continues to showcase why he was chosen number 1 overall: 21 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 blocks!!!! :bowdown:

only gadz and storee with a negative +/-

Redd hasn't been the leading scorer since returning from the thigh bruise. Definitely appears like something went down during that period like many were speculating and now the team seems to gradually be moving in a different direction.

Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Well the hawks haven't been too bad these days. They've been beating some really good teams.

According to the Hawks post game show they are a good team and they need to find a way to get up over vastly inferior teams like the Bucks

You don't win many games shooting 37.9% but tonight we did. Hawks made 8 more FT's. AB & Royal Ivey played very well. Ivey must have wanted to prove something to his former team and he surely did. 9pts/8reb/6dimes. AB 21/10 with 4 blocks. Hawks had no answer for AB tonight! Overall the Bucks played just slightly better than the Hawks who played terrible.....

I don't think you are. But if it means more offensive diversity and greater emphasis on post play and inside-out action (which would benefit Redd immensely) then it's what we've needed to see for some time now.

Bogut was sensational again tonight and MD, the Hawks are a better team than the Bucks and came in having played some good ball. I think this is a good win for the Bucks tonight. This wasn't a cupcake.

We won without Mo, trade him.

rilamann · Post #17 » by **rilamann** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 3:52 am

I obviously had zero doubts (if you've read my posts in the last year) that Bogut could play at this level I just always felt it was a mater of the Bucks using him properly and consistiently and Bogut gaining some confidence.

The thing is Bogut is gaining confidence because the team is actually using him and he actually feels like a part of the team,in turn he is playing to his ability and putting up all star caliber numbers.Bogut is a confidence player.

Its great to see and its great to no longer be callled a ''Bogut nut hugger'' among other things for saying Bogut has the ability to help the team if he is used properly.

Im sure Xtitan & a few others can relate.

What's wrong with Mo?

No question. I've talked repeatedly about how Bogut needs to feel as if he's involved. When he does, his play becomes much better. Now it's never been this good but I think that's a result of Krystkowiak making a clear attempt to get him more involved. To Bogut's credit, he's earning more touches by playing at an extremely high level.

But I agree with you - this is the Bogut the Bucks drafted No. 1 overall. This is the guy so many of us who have supported him for so long expected to see. He is capable of playing at this level. The key question remains - can he continue to do it consistently? If he can, he'll ascend to All-Star status very quickly. And that's not hyperbole. He's playing at an All-Star level right now without question in my opinion.

He's sick, the flu.

It's nice to see Bogut finally gaining confidence. What's more important is that it appears the rest of the team (Redd has full confidence in him too). This is just as important.

Offense is running like it should be (inside-out). I think our problem before was that we had no post presence. It appears that we do now.

Bogut if you are reading this, WE WANT YOU TO SHOOT. You SHOULD be our leading scorer at least half the nights.
