A 20-20 for Bogut and .5 back from the 8th spot.
Charlotte is down right now, so the Bucks have a chance to be tied when the night is over. How about the fact that they are only 1 1/2 games out of the 6th spot. Not that I think they will win a series but it would be nice to not get Cleveland or Orlando right away. Boston is good too but it would be kind of fun playing the old guys in the first round. I think we would lose, but it would be fun. Salmons has been a great addition so far.

Bucks currently have the 7th seed due to tiebreakers.

See, John Hammond does know what he's doing. We're just a hair behind the Bulls for the 6th seed in the east and if we can can play like we are the rest of the season, I think it's possible we could move past Toronto as well.

I followed the game from start to finish, great game by the Bucks tonite. They outscored the Hornets every quarter, even when Skiles rested Bogut and Jennings the entire 4th quarter. Salmons has been a great pickup so far, hope they make it 5 in row tomorrow.

 

Go Bucks!

Carlos Delfino is starting to grow on me. Granted it is difficult for me to see him in action, but every time I check the box score he always puts up crooked numbers in rebounds, assists, and steals, and even gets a block in here and there. 10.3 pts, 5 boards, 2.6 assists, 1 steal to 1.5 turnovers. That says pretty good role player to me.

 

EI got 16 pts, 12 boards, 3 assists and 3 steals at Detroit, and the next night he plays 8 minutes (then 22 then 18). Did he get banged up somewhere, or did they just rest him? Seems like he hasn't been getting a lot of minutes the last few weeks.

 

Four in a row, but now they get three road games in four days. Should beat Indiana, but back to back at Miami and Atlanta will be tough.

After how horrendous the Bucks have been the past few seasons, they have been highly entertaining this season. I have watched more game this year then in the past 3 or 4 combined probably. Jennings and Bogut are semi stars and guys like Salmons, LRMM, Ilyasova and Ridnour and fun to watch as well.

Well that was a little too close for comfort but a road win is a road win. Bring on Miami.

Cool article on how the Bucks are setting themselves up nicely for 2011:

Interesting point in that article that while they will be sitting on the sidelines during the free agent free-for-all this offseason, it is highly unlikely that a free agent will want to come here (with the possible exception of D-Wade). However next year Gadz and Redd will be assets known as expiring contracts that can be flipped for better players in the middle of a contract from teams looking to gain payroll flexibility.

 

In reality, free agents won't want to come here. The best deals for the Bucks will be trades, in which next year will be the year. Also interesting that Al Horford will be a free agent after Gadz's and Redd's contracts will be gone, and he would be a nice fit here at the PF spot. You know, he does have that lineage here too...

Nice to see the Bucks dominating a road game with Bogut having a subpar day. He has been so good lately, he was due an off day. As long as they do not blow their 18 point lead they can pick up a nice road win. Salmons is having another really solid game.
