Bucks win in my presences

Bucks 93, Bobcats 89

Since I live in Charlotte, or the suburbs, I decided that I should see my favorite team, the Bucks, with some of my friends. To clarify, I still root for the Bobcats, but obviously my alligence is to the Bucks. Decked out in my Redd jersey, I was disappointed when he didn't play, but was thrilled by the win. During the game, I was heckling Charlie Bell due to his comments in the Journal that day. He played pretty well I suppose. I also found myself screaming that Yi was out of position, Simmons runs like he's 90, and Gadzuric didn't play, lucky for him. There was also a small Aussie following cheering Andrew Bogut on, and very often due to his great game. He dominated Emeka Okafor all game long. Nice win over a lousy opponent. Weak crowd as well. I'd say around 10,000. My friend asked if the Bobcats would move, and I said no. It is simple economics, new arena=30 years. Plus Charlotte has shown that they aren't like Atlanta. When the team is good, they will show up in droves, and for 5 years after. The Bucks need a new arena. Imagine the embarrassment of another team leaving. Milwaukee is a great NBA town when the Bucks are even moderately good, and it should stay like that.

Bucks go back to square 1

Wizards 101, Bucks 77

The score looks horrible, but the fact of the matter is that it was actually, believe it or not, worse. Yes Michael Redd didn't play, but it was still a home game. This team is starting to become borderline pathetic. All of those on the trade Michael bandwagon, which I am not, are nuts. Just look at how this team fell apart without him. I think the most telling story about this game was a comment by Bobby Simmons, worthless, $10 million a year, Bobby Simmons.

"There's been some ups and downs for us," Bucks forward Bobby Simmons said. "But we still played the game. It wasn't like we played our best game but we didn't play our worst, either. Collectively I think we did the best we could tonight."

That was the best you could do. Is that serious? Gilbert Arenas is out for 3 months, and the Wizards didn't quit. Tony Parker, Manu Ginobli, and Tim Duncan all have missed time this year, and the Spurs didn't quit. It's called stepping up. You specifically Bobby are paid enough to garner a solid offensive threat that you are not. Maybe if you actually played the damn game, and not taken your money and ran after ONE good contract year with the Clippers, we woudln't be so lousy.

Bucks Win (finally)

Bucks 103, Heat 98

Mo Williams and Charlie Bell get the game balls. The two players on the Bucks who are probably the bulk of the complaining by other Buck fans played the best games. Mo Williams shows signs of being a better PG with games like these, but still needs to play more consistently at a high level. Dwayne Wade, obviously a fellow Marquette alum, has to be one of the toughest players in the NBA. All the pain he complains about being in, and the times he still trots out on the floor, and fills the box score.
