    The Bucks' win streak is at six, and we're above .500 [​IMG]

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Andrew Bogut and Michael Redd each scored 20 points, and Milwaukee beat Memphis 112-96 on Wednesday night for its sixth straight victory, the Bucks' longest winning streak in almost five years.

    The Bucks are playing with confidence and an energy that easily overshadowed any effort by Memphis. Once Milwaukee built a double-digit halftime lead, Memphis was done and seemed to go through the motions the rest of the way.

    "We showed a bit of firepower," Redd said. "It was a team win across the board. Everyone contributed. Our goal was to get back above .500. We wanted to get six in a row, so it feels good to win."

    Ruben Patterson added 19 points for the Bucks, while Mo Williams finished with 18 points and six assists. Charlie Bell had 11 points and added six assists. </div>

    Have they been playing a three guard lineup with Bell, Williams, and Redd recently?

    And dammit, I knew I should have put Bogut in tonight.

    Yeah, those three have all been on the court together a lot lately, and at least two of them are in the game together for 40+ minutes. With Villanueva's injury recently, we got used to playing with a lineup of Mo, Charlie B, Redd, Patterson and Bogut. That group can run the floor really well and score off of defensive plays in transition, and we've gotten a lot of points that way. Bogut has been hot; we're still not gettin him enough shots, but he's maximizing the looks he's getting. And I guess our defense has improved somewhat during this streak - we're just playing at such a fast pace that we're giving opponents a lot of posessions!
