    Matchup to Watch
    [​IMG][​IMG]
    Bobby Simmons vs Paul Pierce
    Bobby: 12.5 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 2.1 APG, 43.8% FG 39.5% 3pt 82.4 FT
    PP: 25.6 PPG 7.7 RPG 4.7 APG 48.6% FG 38.8% 3pt 77.4 FT

    Predictions
    The Bucks play their first Sunday game of the year with a 2:30 matinee at the BC against Boston. Boston features newly acquired Wally Szczerbiak. Bucks will be without Mo, which will hurt them. If the play like they did Friday, I think we'll win this at home. No TV, Get your butts to the BC


    Bucks 99
    Celtics 91

    This is another one of those types of games we've got to win. Home game, team below .500, the type of game that builds momentum and confidence. As an added bonus, we'll now have the incentive of trying to claim the #2 spot in the Central division. We're only 2.5 games behind the Cavs, who face Phoenix, New Jersey, Miami and Philly 4 of their next 5, while we have matchups against Boston, New Orleans and Houston before we travel to Cleveland for a big divisional game. With O'Neal sidelined, now is the time for us to make a run at the Cavs as the legit #2 team in our division.

    It's the second half, and time to step it up and make our run for the playoffs [​IMG] Again, we need to defend the home court and get a solid win.

    Ugly game on both ends.....but the Bucks found a way to win...

    Michael Redd scored 15 of his 21 in the 4th for the Bucks to pull away and win.
