    Injuries:
    Bucks:
    TJ Ford-Bruised Spinal Cord OUT
    Joe Smith-Sprained Ankle - Questionable GAME TIME DECISION
    Grizzlies:
    Mike Miller Sore Back OUT
    Ryan Humphery Concussion OUT
    Theron Smith Back Spasms OUT

    Season Series:
    Grizz Lead 1-0

    Game 1
    Bucks 85 @ Grizzs 105

    Last Games:
    MIL: Beat Boston 106-104 in Boston Wednesday
    MEM: Beat Golden St. 99-92 Wednesday

    My Input and Prediction:
    Bucks first game vs. Memphis was a total disaster. After that game Coach Porter blasted his team hard. They responded with a huge home win crushing New Orleans the next night. Bucks will sign someone to a 10 day contract to fill TJs roster spot. Joe Smith is a Game-Time Decision for Fridays game with a sprained ankle, if he can't go KVH or Danny Gadzuric will start at PF. As Guard Desmond Mason put it "We can't lose 3 straight at home" And they won't

    Bucks in a nailbiter.....

    I'll go Bucks by seven at home, but it'll be one well worth watching.

    Without Ford this could be even more tougher for the Bucks, Grizzles have two good point guards with different but tough styles. Bucks will need to be shooting the great great from downtown to steal this game.

    Hmm... without TJ this is going to be a tough game. I'll still go with the Bucks by 4.

    Managed to catch the last quarter of this game, as Des said this was going to be a great game and was. Bucks get the win by 2, 106-104

    Keith Van Horn dropped 30 points on the Grizzles, including 9 in the 4th quarter, hit a important three-pointer with 3 minutes remaining to break a tie. Shane Battier was so close to giving Memphis the win but it dropped short.

    Great game

    I didn't get to see it, but I'm sure it was. Who says Van Horn isn't consistent? He seems consistent enough for me. I'm liking him on the Bucks, and when we beat a playoff team in the West, it adds something to the win.

    Well, Damon Jones produced well tonight in his spot. TJ doesn't give you much scoring anyways, so tonight they didn't miss a peep, as Jones dished 12 dimes. But KVH was the man tonight, good effort by the Bucks to beat a tough West team.
