Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
Bogut expected back tonight.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Hopefully we start giving some more minutes to the younger guys.

Re: Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
Minnesota played last night and won in overtime. Jefferson had 39. Hopefully, they'll be tired. Wolves have been hot lately, but I'm still expecting a W, our first winning streak in god knows how long, and back to 2 games below .500. PLAYOFFS, BABY, PLAYOFFS! We're talking about PLAYOFFS!

Re: Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
All it will take is a Bucks win and a monster game from Bogut and many people will talk about how this team can still make playoffs.

The difference in Minny isn't Jefferson. He's doing what he's always done. It is Love. He's having some monster rebounding games doing the dirty work for that team.

Re: Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
Interesting game tonight. The Wolves are exhausted...we got out of TC late, and even though it's a 45 minute flight, still a pretty late night. The Bucks have their 1st game post-Redd, and with Bogut expected back tonight, the dynamics are quite different than the game against Sacramento.
As a fan of both teams, I'm hoping both squads get out injury-free. The injury to Redd was devastating on many levels for the Bucks, as discussed on this board, and I'm curious to see which direction Hammond and Skiles go here.
The Wolves are playing well, but with games against the Bucks, Pistons, Lakers and Celtics coming up, it might be reality-check time.

Re: Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
Tonight will be the first game without Redd. I think his injury was a blessing in disguise. Let's see if the Bucks can begin to prove me right with a win. I really think they will. 23-25 and a chance to get back to .500 with 3 of the next 4 being very winnable.

Re: Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
I'd actually like to see LRMAM at the 2 tonight, with CV and Sessions both getting heavy minutes off the bench.

Re: Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
I hope for a starting lineup of Rid, RJ, Luc, CV and Bogut. Sessions playing a lot of 1 and 2 off the bench. JA with atleast 20 minutes.
Looking forward to something a little bit different without Redd on the floor.

Re: Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
For the rest of the year I'd like to see:
Ridnour/Lue/Jones
RJ/Sessions
Prince/JA
CV/Allen
Bogut/Elson/Gadz
with things changing when Bell gets back

Re: Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
skiles needs to wise up and not go small with redds injury ..
start rj at the two ,alexander at the 3 and moute at the 4 ...
sometimes you need to gamble to win ...throw ya nuts on the table skiles ...sessions dominates that ball to much and its going to KILL us offensivly .....alexander can find a rythem out there , i know it .
unfortunatly , its going to be sessions starting in the backcourt ...and we get NOTHING from that other then dribble penetration with very poor options to pass out to .... alexander and bogut were developing some nice conistancy together the last time bogut played ... build on that skiles ...the only consitancy ramon is showing with anyone out there is the ball and floor .. how it consitantly hits the floor everytime he touches the damn ball ..sessions is a mirage with a " get mine " attitude right now in a contract year , dont play him big minutes skiles ...play the guys without the agenda .
its time to develop / find a new resource on this team ...that resource has to be alexander ...i think hes more poised / primed to step into a role then anyone on this team .

Re: Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
I think Skiles will be playing Damon Jones a lot more. I was even going to go as far as to say he should start at the 2 but after thinking about it a bit...I think he can back up both the one and the two positions along with Sessions and should get minutes in place of Charlie Bell if he is not producing.

Re: Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
BDUB,
I like the idea of throwing JA out there with the starters. Too many times JA has to go out there with Gadz and the rest of the scrubs. Yes I know JA is a scrub right now but I thought he looked great in the Miami game when he played with Bogut. Maybe playing with the starters will help slow his game down.

I don't know what the T-Wolves have been on since 09 started but they are rolling. If they were in the East I would say they have a shot at the playoffs but unfortunately they're not. It looks like that Garnett trade wasn't so one-sided after all.

Re: Bucks/Wolves - 1/26
Hopefully Jefferson has a monster game (while POR is watching) and Miller stinks it up so we can move Jefferson for Miller/Collins via LaFrentz in POR.
