    Keys to the Game

    <u>Los Angeles:</u>
    <ul>
    [*]Keep the ball away from Redd (If they shut him down, they should be able to shut down their offense)
    [*]Rebound (Own the boards and they should get this one)
    [*]Run the offense (Running plays should help them)[/list]

    <u>Milwaukee Bucks:</u>
    <ul>
    [*]Stop Brand (Stopping him down low will be a big key to a win in this one)
    [*]Stop Maggette (When Maggette gets hot, he gets hot)
    [*]Play solid defense (We have been to passive on defense lately)[/list]

    seedle's Prediction
    The Bucks have been playing good ball lately, I don't see that changing here.

    Bucks by 4

    Even if they shut down Michael Redd, Keith Van Horn could easily take over, offensively.

    I'll go with the Bucks by 2.

    Good preview seedle. Bad forum to do them though, no-one comes here.

    I say Bucks by 6.

    I believe that Van Horn will have a good game and fit in with the Bucks system. Bucks are great at home and should be able to take care of the Clippers.

    Bucks by 7.

    Oh, and good preview. :thumbsup:

    Nice preview, but I think that the Clips will take this, Brand will be too much

    Our key is to stop Brand, but Joe and Skinn have done a great job defending guys like JO all year, also KVH will help on the glass.

    Desmond will start tonight proally not KVH until he gets in the swing.

    And Brian Skinner starts at C, not the Flying Dutchman

    It's a close one so far. It's a tie game right now, I think it is going down to the wire. Van Horn is playing great right now, he has 14 points.
