The Spurs are without Manu Ginobli, and the Bucks will likely be without Bobby Simmons. Former Badger Michael Finley returns home, as well as Racine native Nick Van Exel. The Spurs have lost to Atlanta and New Orleans lately, which proves they can be beat, but I don't see them losing this one Spurs 92 Bucks 81
bogut made a big shot at the end probably the biggest shot he ever made, he helped the bucks win i thought this game was going double OT

Just got back from the rockin BC. Andrew Bogut hits the game winning fade tip in with 0.7 seconds off a perfect inbound lob pass from Toni Kukoc. Rasho had no chance to stop it. Duncan fouled out with a minute left in OT, on a stupid foul in the backcourt on Mo. The Bucks almost killed themselves with SO MANY missed free throws in the 4th and OT. Just an amazingly well played game by both teams, Bucks made a lot of adjustments at halftime on the defensive end, and it payed off. Stotts coached this game extremely well. GMans MVP: Andrew Bogut NEW RECORDS Bucks 14-9 Spurs 19-6 Next Games Bucks vs New Orleans/OKC Friday Spurs @ New York Wednesday
I can't believe we won! What a win!!! I was listening on the radio at work, and it seemed like every time I listened in they were saying "oh, another missed FT fro Milwaukee" blah blah, I thought we were way out of it, and then I hear the dude screaming "Bucks win, Bucks win!!!" What an incredible performance; we've gotten owned by the whole Western Conference, but tonight we come out and beat the best team in the league. Just amazing, I hope this is a sign that our young team really does have a shot in the playoffs! Here's some intersting numbers on Bogut, too: he's had his best games against top competion. Against Cleveland, 21 pts and 6 reb, Dallas: 19/14, Detroit 12/7, New Jersey 10/17, and now 19/9 against the defending champs. This kid is every bit the real deal
