i know this is the Bucks forum, but didn't Stackhouse get injured for the rest of the season? I know he said he didnt wanna play because they were doing bad, but now that they are doing a little bit better he's playing again?
Their improvement is more due to the return of Larry Hughes, not anything stupid Stackhouse is doing. Anyways, good game by the Bucks, this was a have to win game and the Bucks really buckled down and took it. Redd had a great game with 35 points, and Kukoc and Knight did good off the bench.
Let's not forget about Skinner whose jump hook has become unstoppable. And he is rebounding like a big guy should. He's looking like a real weapon going into the postseason.
