Ray Allen has always been my favorite Buck and player, and I'll be there to welcome him back. I'm still bitter over that trade....Back to the game, Bucks could be without their #2 and 3 scorers, as Mo is out, and Bobby could be as well. Rashard may be out for Seattle, listed as Game Time Decision....I think the Bucks get this one Bucks 110 Soncis 104
I think this is another one of those games where Bogut will get a chance to shine against a depleted/not very good good opposing frontline. We should definitely take this game, but I'm thinking our recent defensive improvements won't have much effect on this game; this is going to be a couple teams that want to get out and run! Bucks 116 Sonics 109
let me know if ray allen hogs the ball today, i mean like whenever he gets the ball he takes a shot attempt, and the sonics won't win.........
Big win for the Bucks tonight, 106-93, and it wasn't even that close. We were up by 20+ for most of the 2nd half, got solid efforts from literally everyone; Redd had 19 and everyone else just chipped in, and Mike got to chill on the bench for the whole 4th quarter. Only concern was TJ Ford leaving with an injury, I didn't hear what it was, but he left the court straight into the locker room. He was back on the bench later in the game, but didn't play anymore, so hopefully it wasn't too serious. The last thing we need is another injury. Good win to keep the Bucks going, always good when we can get a win against the West.
It was a blowout start to finish...final ended up being 106-91 after the scrubs ended it. Starters didn't have to play much for the Bucks
