This is certainly a winnable game for the Bucks. It is the first game under Herb Williams this season for the Knicks. Last season as interm head coach he went 1-0. Since its a road game, the Bucks will lose.... Knicks by 7
I see the Knicks giving an 110% effort now that Wilkens is gone and they are at home trying to make a statement. Also because they saw the standings. I think that will give them the energy and heart they've lacked all season. I see Knicks wining 100-85. Btw Gmanspack, I really like your previews. You are really dedicated to really be doing all of this with the lack of visitors in the Bucks forum. I will try and help you out and start posting some in this forum. I love the Bucks on video games they just light it up!
A dagger at the end by Redd. Bucks get a nice win on the road which should stir up some mommentum for them. I wish they hadn't one though my Knicks are just looking awfully bad. Good game though guys.
BUCKS WIN 101-96! Bucks 26 23 26 26 101 Knicks 23 27 20 26 96 Bucks Leading Scorer- Desmond Mason 22 pts Knicks Leading Scorer- Stephon Marbury 33 pts Bucks Leading Rebounder- Dan Gadzuric 13 rebounds Knicks Leading Rebounder-Michael Sweetney 11 Rebounds Bucks Leading Assists- Desmond Mason 7 Assists Knicks Leading Assists- Stephon Marbury 6 Assists Bucks 15-24 Knicks 17-23 Next Games: Bucks: vs Phoenix Wednesday Knicks: vs Phoenix Tuesday GMan's MVPs: Desmond Mason Notes: Dan Gadzuric had 10 pts 13 rebounds and 3 blocks. Joe Smith added 14 and 7, Michael Redd had 14 pts. Mo Williams had 10 pts 5 assists. Zaza had a great game with 13 pts 7 boards off the bench. Ex-Buck Tim Thomas was a DNP-Coachs decision today and Trevor Ariza started in his place. Ariza just could flat out not keep up with Desmond and Dez beat him with quickness many times. Solid road win against a decent team.
