It will be the teacher vs. the student, as Karl takes on Stotts. Karl must have sucked as a teacher.....they'll find a way to lose. Nuggets 95 Bucks 88
This is why the Bucks frustrate me so much. We go into Denver and beat the hell out of a good Nuggets team, but we're only a game above .500 Another big game for Bogut, and Redd also. He's got what now, 40 consecutive free throws? Well, after we get dismantled by the Suns on Wednesday, we've got a bunch of games coming up against teams that are below .500, so we'd better make a move up.
