Re: For Bucks, there's always hope. http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/6267040<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Charlie Villanueva ? 6-13, 6 rebounds, 0 assists, 4 turnovers, 15 points ? was a cream puff. Whenever the Sonics attacked his flimsy defense (usually with Chris Wilcox), Villanueva simply collapsed. No surprise that his defensive rotations were also inept. Nor that he often avoided contact when going up for a shot in a crowd. Also, his passes showed no touch and no awareness.What can he do? Shoot righty jump-hooks from the left box. Hit mid-range jumpers. And find acceptable scoring opportunities when he can receive the ball a step below the foul line.It's easy to imagine this guy wearing a white uniform and driving an ice cream truck. Ding! Ding! Here comes Mister Softee!What can't Bogut do? Guard anybody ? including Rashard Lewis (admittedly a tough matchup), Chris Wilcox, Johan Petro (who ran Bogut ragged in the first half but never got off the bench in the second half), and Nick Collison (who repeatedly beat Bogut, but repeatedly botched easy shots). Whenever the Sonics forced Bogut to move his feet on defense, he always wound up behind the play. Also on Bogut's can't-do-list: Rebound in a crowd. Jump quickly. Move laterally. Display sufficient athleticism to compete with the league's elite bigs. Mo Williams played adhesive on-the-ball defense (on Luke Ridnour), but in his eagerness to rip his man allowed him to turn the corner on numerous occasions. Williams' weak-side defense was even worse. At the other end of the court, he showed a tendency to over-handle and to force shots. Despite his other numbers ? 5-9, 9 assists, 3 steals, 12 points ? Williams committed four turnovers and displayed poor judgment on too many sequences. At 6-foot-1, he's a shooting guard in a point guard's body. He's perfectly suited, however, to be the primary scorer on a second unit.All game long, his defense was decidedly inferior ? losing his man in a maze of screens, getting lifted by too many fakes. But when it counted ? with the Bucks up one and the game clock under a minute ? he made a superb rotation to crowd Collison and prevent him from converting a short flip-shot that would have turned the ball game.Proscribe a high-protein diet, extra time in the weight room, and survival training for everybody on the team except Patterson and Skinner.</div> He's 100% dead on with everything, he's always a little hard on Bogut but I can deal with it.
