yes, the bucks have tons of athleticism, but just about any team in the NBA should be able to pound them inside. Joe Smith will have a better season than last, but i dont think he could stop even some of the East's big men. 20 wins could happen. i dont think they'll get 30 though
bucks <div class="quote_poster">Quoting anadagirlballer4strt:</div><div class="quote_post">think of it like that...they worked really hard in the playoffs...without their coach George Karl, Sam Cassel, and Gary Payton, they'll have to work as hard as they did in the playoffs to get a spot in the playoffs...I don't think it would be impossible, but it will be a challenge for them. I think that Mason/Redd/Thomas will have to step up and create a good balance in the team...</div> I think that of the three you mentioned - Tim Thomas has to have to step up the most. Ever since he signed that huge contract he has been such an inconsistent baller. That, coupled with his lack of defensive intensity make me think that he's the one out of those three that didn't pull their weight last year. Mase quickly became a team and fan favorite, and Micheal Redd has worked extremely hard at his game to get to where he's at. Those two will definitley bring their game (and intensity) night in/night out.
