    Not Really as Primo as a matchup as Redd-Houston, but its the trade, the first meeting of the Bucks-Knicks new players

    Keys To The Game

    <u>Bucks</u>
    Play hard on D, Get your Defensive flow back
    Timmy will look to show you up, you know how to shut him down, do it
    Don't let Houston go off, like he always does vs. the Bucks
    Have Van Horn post up on TT
    Jones must play well on Marbury
    National TV, your at home, time to shine


    <u>Knicks</u>
    Tim Thomas homecoming, good or bad?
    Marbury must drive on Damon
    Houston kills the Bucks, get him the ball
    Fast Break a lot



    GMan's Prediction
    Bucks 2nd National TV apperence. It's also Tim Thomas' return to the BC, where he will probably get booed. Both players will look to show up their old teams. This should be a fun one since its in Milwaukee, so the refs should be unbiased like the weren't up in New York. Redd must out play Houston, to make up for Marbury against Damon, Bucks need to wake up from their slump and I think TP will have this team playing hard again on national TV
    Bucks By 5

    One mistake, the game starts at 3:30, but everyone else looks fine.

    They're coming to our house to face us and we will spank them (or at least try). Van Horn plays his former team for the first time and Timmy come home. I don't know about KVH posting up on TT today though because they're both mismatch SF/PF's, TT's also got the height over 3's and quickness over 4's.


    Redd please start stroking those shots and keep getting to the line. If he can do that I predict a 30 points game from him. I can't say contain Marbury, but try and keep him in the low 20's in scoring, and watch out for Houtson cause you never know when he'll start tearing it up.

    I say the Bucks take this by 5, Redd and KVH have really good games and TT is a non-factor for NYC.

    The Knicks played really well in the 2nd half and one of my predictions came true.I predicted that Starbury would get atleast 10 assist and he got 16.The Bucks started great in the first half but just collasped in the 2nd half.Great comeback by the Knicks.

    Whats happening?? How do we blow such a huge lead, Milwaukee really needs to get things straight and start winning some games or else we'll se the playoff position drop and drop.

    Redd get your shooting strok back, we really this buddy, and the team is gotta start playing defense.

    Anyways, horrible loss, 2nd half was appauling and hope to bounce back next game, but we play Portland and thats not an easy game, then 5 away games after that, and we all know about the Bucks and road games [​IMG]
