    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Milwaukee Bucks will have to continue to press on without Bobby Simmons.

    The Bucks announced Friday that Simmons' injured right heel is improving, but will be sidelined at least three weeks.

    The 6-6 Simmons suffered a stress reaction in his right heel during training camp and has been out since October 14. Veteran Ruben Patterson has started in his place and averaged 7.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in five games.</div>
    Oh well. I like Simmons, he's a very solid wing. He can shoot the ball, he's an alright rebounder, and he's athletic. At least Milwaukee has a good backup SF that can step in for him in Patterson, who is a good defender and a very tough player. Maybe Charlie V will get some time at the 3 as well? It's a possibility against big teams.

    It will be nice when he's back...just to have Patterson come off the bench and give us some help.

    It will help their depth big time. Patterson will be great for their 2nd unit.
