I think this is a very good matchup for us and an opportunity to beat a good team. everyone knows their bench problems and we have a very strong bench. Aldrige in my opinion is over rated if you actually watch him play but still has the potential to have a big night especially with ersan guarding him. I would like to actually see larry guard him and have ersan matchup with hickson, batum is probably the most under rated players in the nba always fun to watch but its good to know luc will be matched up with him tonight.

 

i would really like to see the bucks get off to a good start, we always play from behind against the good teams.

Glad this West Coast trip is done...these games starting at 10 - 10:30 pm ed are killing me.

They sure got off to a good start. Larry Sanders getting tossed from the game didn't help. He really needs to get a
handle on that...it's going to decrease his value as a player and effect his relationship with the team.

Again it was the tale of two teams. The team that moves the ball and scores and then there is the team that stalls
plays and doesn't score. Yikes...that finish was way too close for comfort.

They still managed to get that win and that's great. 3-1 road trip is a good thing. They have a couple days before
they take on Philly Tuesday night. If they are contenders, they need to take that game!

Go Bucks!

It was a strange game. We had gotten off to such a good start, really hounding the ball handlers, stripping passes left and right and beating them with fast break baskets, and that was the story of the first half.

 

Then the third quarter rolled around (gulp), and everything went downhill. Sanders getting kicked out was unacceptable. He needs to keep his temper in check, because at this point he has to realize just how much of an asset he is to the team. His defensive impact cannot be replaced by anyone else on the team. 

 

The Blazers started getting open looks, and they took advantage. Thankfully, Jennings had an excellent game, and Ersan was killing it all night long up until he got into foul trouble in the third quarter. 

 

Going 3-1 on that road trip, and the first winning record on a road trip of four games or more since 2001, where we went 3-2... scary thought. I can't help but be happy with the team overall right now. The wins probably could have been by bigger margins, but wins are wins, especially on the road.
