<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">ESPN - T.J. Ford scored 17 points in his first game in over 1? years to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 91-89 exhibition win Saturday night over the Cleveland Cavaliers , who played without All-Star forward LeBron James. Ford had been sidelined since suffering a spinal cord injury during a game against Minnesota on Feb. 24, 2004. He missed the first two preseason games with a sprained left index finger. Ford started and had 12 points, two assists, three steals and four turnovers before heading to the bench with 9:27 left in the second quarter. </div> Hell Yeah, it's great to see T.J. back at full stride. I'm so estatic about his return.
This is good news, as it appears TJ has not lost a step. I'm hoping he stays healthy and leads the Bucks on a nice playoff run this year. I think as good as TJ is, he will elevate his game come playoff time, and add an extra heavy migraine to whomever has to guard him.
This is big new for the Bucks. Ford was a big part to their team when he was healthy back in 03-04. If he can continue getting stronger and working on his game, the Bucks will definitely make the playoffs. Milwaukee has an all-star caliber point guard, an all-star shooting guard, an all-star caliber center, and very good role players like Mason and Simmons. If they can stay healthy, I think Milwaukee will definitely be turning some heads this season.
It is nice to see TJ has made a succesful recovery so far. I hope he has a succesful rest of his career because he definitely deserves a second chance. TJ worked hard to come back and it would really be something to see him turn his career around. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Milwaukee has an all-star caliber point guard, an all-star shooting guard, an all-star caliber center </div> Sure they've got some good players but I don't think you could label TJ Ford or Andrew Bogut all star caliber just yet.
Outstanding!!! If T.J can come back healthy and lead us the whole year, I'll be more than happy. If he becomes more of a scoring threat, too, I'll be ecstatic!!!
T.J seems like he has most of his quickness back, now. That's good for the Bucks and bad for everybody else He's gonna be a big scorer this year now that we have more options that defenses have to worry about.
TJ Ford is a great player, he's amazingly quick and athletic and he can run a team well. I didnt htink he'd be this much better when he came back. He's still quick as hell and now he's got somewhat of a J, Ford is going to be nuts. Im really looking forward to watchin him this season.
