    Sorry, I'm no good at those spiffy previews, but let's start up a discussion on tonight's game.

    The Bucks are coming off a tough loss to the Clippers and now have to face the Warriors on a back-to-back. While the thought of the Bucks "getting revenge" looms, their defense is susceptible to massive scoring runs by the opposition regardless of fatigue. It would be nice if the Warriors can finish up the season series with a sweep like they did with the Knicks. It's important to beat the teams you're suppose to beat, and with all due respect to the potential "NBA's Most Improved Team," the Bucks are one of those teams we should beat.

    I think the Warriors can match the Bucks offense but what sets them apart, surprinsingly as we have all found out this season, is that the Warriors are playing some GREAT defense...9th in the league. Couple this with the W's are home and the Bucks on the second game of a back-to-back, I see the Warriors winning this in impressive fashion as they did to the Bulls. [​IMG]

    What are you guys hoping the W's will improve upon this game?

    No kidding! I was at the Knicks game and all we got was some horrendous wannabe disco band from the 70's. The audio is so piss-poor at the Arena that it's pointless to have music there. I was seriously wishing for the Golden State Road Warriors to come out.

    I'd love to see Dunleavy go 3/5 on the field. Just that would work for me. Fisher I'd like to see keep up the passing on the drive and getting fouled, Taft is looking good, I'd like to see Baron try to get some post up plays for him. J-Rich needs to gobble up boards tonight against the Bucks with their big size. Baron also needs to just run off of passes on fast-breaks. This should be a good game

    I'd love to see Dunleavy throw it off the backboard and catch it for a 180 reverse, double clutch jam. Fisher I'd like to see bounce the ball between his legs by throwing it behind his back to himself and then throw a no-look pass to Biedrins who alley-oop dunks it with one hand. I'm just looking to be entertained, really.

    Dunleavy can do it, though. He just needs to be more aggressive. [​IMG]

    Well, we'll just use the same preview as last game. I think we'll see a lot of posting up of TJ Ford, same as last time. Bucks might lack some shooting from the perimeter other than Redd. If the Bucks want to go inside, let's hope the post defense is there or the double teams arrive on time.

    The Warriors can take advantage of a tired Bucks team early, just so long as they don't fall asleep at the 2nd half. That's the only half that matters assuming there's no first half blow out by the Bucks. 2nd game on the Back-to-back ought to be tough for the Bucks to find their rhythm. You can't shoot very well without fresh legs.

    I expect Ike Diogu to magically appear in the lineup and start throwing elbows.

    Dunleavy can be more aggressive, though he just needs to grow a pair down low [​IMG]

    I think all of your points are good since they played last night and we are at home and fairly rested. I hope this will turn out to be the formula for success. One thing the announcers mentioned in the Bulls game was how that slow drag it out game does not suit our style. Milwakee plays an uptempo game and that may not favor us as much as the Bucks per say, but we difinitely play a better game when we are running. I am worried about one thing though. I think we shot the lights out of the gym last time from 3pt range. If we just have an off night in general it could spell for disaster. I think we need to jump on them and be up by 15pts by halftime and really put them away early like we did to the Bulls...

    We're getting out rebounded again... It can't be that hard to box out.

    I think our rebounding probably has alot to do with how Monty rarely plays Foyle and Murphy at the same time.

    We're lucky the Warriors are shooting well. They took 8 less shots than the bucks at this point.

    This first half is a perfect example of why Pietrus doesnt start. Hes a nice scorer and defender but hes shooting 33% from the FT line, had a travel, and when we had an easy bucket he hogs the ball and runs over the defender. Until he plays more selflessly and under control hes going to be a bench player. And he really should improve his FTs, Barnett made a good point in saying that he should try more layups when he is about to get fouled. He had alot of easy opportunities for 3 point plays but he tried slam everything he had.

    Jeez, Pietrus has to learn to look up ahead. He was too busy focussing on looking at his dribbling hand to make sure he didn't lose the ball that he crashed into Michael Redd. It's really frustrating to have this guy that can do so much get himself into so much offensive foul trouble. He makes the easiest plays that much harder.

    He'll get it eventually, though. At least he's doing more to impact the game like getting the other team in foul trouble and scoring when he receives the ball on a setup play.

    I am not watching the game but this is such ridiculous logic! How about Dunleavy? What has he done? Nothing! So Pietrus is trying really hard, making mistakes but making a lot of things happen too! Dunleavy is not doing anything. Dont act like Dunleavy does not travel. He traveled at least once in the Bulls game in the first quarter...

    Dunleavy is shooting 25% from the field while Pietrus is shooting 66%. Pietrus has 11 pts, Dunleavy just now got a layup for a whopping 2pts. Why should Dunleavy start over Pietrus right now!?

    Sorry, but I agree with Run BJM. Pietrus is wreckless. Him as a bench player right now is perfect. These are simple mistakes Pietrus is making, and IMO, inexusable if you're going to be a starter. Luckily, he's not a starter.

    Dunleavy has the fundamentals already in place and a great offensive awareness that minimizes mistakes such as Pietrus'. He may not be as impactful as Pietrus is, offensively, but if Pietrus started, he wouldn't be able to stay on the court too long.

    Dunleavy should start because he simply IS the starter. The coaches and management made this decision long ago and they're sticking to it.
