Bucks @ Home

This will be a boxed set version of Scott's Shots, as I was busy juggling hosting a box, going to my seats, and looking after a 9 month old....

- Raps are back to comping and discounting tickets to schools again to pump up attendance. Cool by me, though, since it helps create a homecourt environment.
- MLSE sent out a survey recently asking opinions of in-house entertainment. Guess I wasn't alone in complaining about it. The new video and the U2 crap does nothing to get people pumped.
- Garbo comes out playing hard. Great swat early on.
- this game could get to 140-120 if they don't slow down hitting the threes. It's like 2 boxers coming out and going stroke for stroke.
- Juan Dixon is SMALL. I mean S M A L L. He's also still learning, but at least he is listening to his teammates as opposed to jumping in feet first and assuming he can get it done on his own.
- CV is in rare company: actually got nice applause when he entered the game.
- speaking of CV, he is showing no ill affects of his injury.
- Raps cannot break the zone. If this is still a prize fight, the Bucks just hit an uppercut.
- Guess Bargs decided to one-up Vince of old and stay and play a game.
- the double teams on Bosh are incredibly fast and effective. He looks helpless.
- well, one good thing for the Raps now that the shots are back to normal: more opportunity to learn how to rebound.
- my castle to the person that can teach Bosh how to hit free throws.
- men drinking wine is like a male dog squating to pee.
- if you had to pick 20 guys to play in a pickup game, you could do much worse than Michael Redd.
- Bogut was angry about playing time and touches earlier in the year. The anger looks to have been recognized. He got some nice touches. I wonder why he doesn't hustle more though.
- is it just me or does the home team tonight remind you of last year's home team? One improvement is ball movement, bless their hearts, but nothing is falling now and only token defense is being shown.
- this Bucks team is a great example of why I say that this season has been an incredibly odd one. They still aren't at complete full strength but they are running and hitting like the Bucks of old. I don't care, though...we have been decimated in the past, so lump it.
- so, 2nd best team in 2007, playing well above their anticipated abilities, #1 in their division....and you boo them. Classy. Admit defeat by a better team tonight and re-load.
- I don't think the Raps are this bad, even considering how much I have been critical. They had a bad luck night. What the did do, though, was cancel out the Houston win. They need to play well in Cleveland and take advantage of a reeling team.
