They fell behind early by 16-17 points, and it looked like it was gonna be a case of exahustion. But they faught through foul trouble...Nets got to the line 44 times, don't count the Bucks 39, 20 were in intentional fouls at the end, and guys like Simmons, Bell and Maglorie in foul trouble all night long. Richard Jefferson did get ejected for a cheap shot elbow on TJ Ford near the middle of the 4th when the Bucks started to pull away...Mo Williams got a T for sticking up for Ford, didn't really do much. Redd was spectacular, he shot lights out. Ford played really well again...finishing finally. Bogut had his first of many pro double doubles, with 10 and 17. Mo Williams was great off the bench with 23 pts 5 assists. NEW RECORDS Bucks 2-0 Nets 0-1 Next Games Bucks vs Miami Saturday Nets @ Toronto Friday
How about Redd with 35.5 ppg! I'm looking at Steve Kerr's BB rankings. We're at 21...we just took out #14 and #9 on back to back nights on the road! And we've got #2 and #3 coming into Milwaukee next week. A real tough start but so far, we're up to the test!

Hopefully we can get one at home against either the Heat or Indiana, and we'll have to take care of business against the Warriors, too. If we can start 4-1 with all these tough games, it will be HUGE
Bogut was huge for us on the glass. This was the type of game I wanted to see him play very well in-against a team that doesn't have a big interior presence. He could've done more on offense (he was 4/13 from the floor ), but his rebounding was a big lift for us. Now he needs to clean up his defense in the post, and not allow the type of moves that Kristic pulled on him a couple of times. It's only his second game though, so overall I've been impressed with him so far-he's averaging a double/double.
lol.......It looked like TJ was going to give Richard Jefferson the business. Anyways, I think the Bucks have made me a believer this year. I really think they can do some damage if healthy. Keep up the good work.
