Kings have not played well this season, but did in their last game, routing the Jazz. Bucks get a day off in Sactown Thursday, so they should be full rested, I'm predicting a Bucks win. Bucks depth shines in this one, Kings have no bench. Bucks 109 Kings 98
Bucks win this game, the kings have been really disipointed thus far. The Bucks are a really good team now, and Ford is just playing great. Bucks 104 Kings 88
The Kings have really struggled out the gate, but they're still a very dangerous team, especially in Sacto. I'm optimistic that we can get a win here, but we will need to play very good defense-the Kings are another team that can just light you up from 3. We'll need a good defensive effort, but I think we can do it. Bucks 103 Kings 98
Jeez GmanSpack that post of yours seems so familiar. Like I have seen it somewhere else...LOL Bucks come out hot. Bibby is not that good of a defender and TJ eats him up. Bucks win 110-96

Gotta win Monday MVP: Brad Miller NEW RECORDS Bucks 5-3 Kings: 4-5 Next Games Bucks @ Utah Monday Kings @ Seattle Sunday
Wow, what a horrible defensive effort. Jeez I'm getting sick of saying that. The only good thing I can see just looking at the box score is that Magloire had his first double/double as a Buck. Other than that, not much on the bright side tonight.
Refs werent great, but cant blame them. Our shooting was horrible, and they ate us alive with the backdoor cuts. Brad Milller has a great floor pass.
