The Bobcats lost Gerald Wallace for at least 4 weeks Friday with a MCL Sprain. Add him to their long list of injuries to their solid players, and they are left with little. The Bucks absouletly must win this game Bucks 110 Bobcats 94
another good game for the bucks, without tj playing... mike had a great shooting night, magloire grabbed 22 boards!!
Good, solid home win for us, keeping up the momentum. Redd and Magloire were very solid, Redd on offense and Magloire on defense, not that you have to be Bill Russell against the 'Cats' depleted frontline lol. Good game for Bogut, too. It's nice to see us making an effort to get him the ball when we've got a matchup advantage. That alley-oop was nuts, he has some athletic ability for a big 'ol white boy The amount of turnovers we are committing with TJ sidelined is very troubling, though. Way, way too many. We played very good defense tonight, but the stats don't show it because we gave up 33 points off of turnovers, many on easy layups after steals.
