Two of my favorite players on the Bucks are keeping us in games. Ruben Patterson and Brian Skinner. I honestly think the Bucks would br 6 wins or so worse this year without them. Ruben Patterson is really working for his summer contract. I love this guy, he's all over the place, on offense he freaking takes on PF/C's and backs them down, the guy has no fear...not many 6'5" guys are as strong/tough as him. Ruben Patterson makes at least 3 big plays a game with his hustle. He's been a rock in our rotation. Brain Skinner is another guy. He's been playing in place of Charlie Villanueva during his injuries and issues. Two years ago we had him and he played great for us but was traded...But as usual he's playing very well for the Bucks. Brain's actually said he wants to stay in Milwaukee because he just plays better here for some reason...He's not very skilled but he's 260 pounds of beef and like Patterson isn't afraid of anybody and throws himself around a lot. His defensive fundamentals aren't the best, he gets caught sometimes but his toughness is invaluable. Like Patterson he comes up with big plays, some points inside...Bucks fans love him.
yep, and skinner gets some blocks and boards in. Too bad redd is out. Villa is going to have to step up and do it up. But thats a huge loss in my opinion. Back though..... Skinner is a better PF than vila bogut can't handle down the inside as a force yet. Skinner is some good help down there. I wish he was on the sonics and not fortson.
Well BCB you had better hope Patterson and Skinner live up to your expectations cause your boy Michael Redd is out. What a shame?DENVER --" A meaningless dunk is coming back to haunt Michael Redd and the Milwaukee Bucks." Redd learned Monday that he'll miss four-to-six weeks because of an injured left knee.
