    You know, T-Mac's my 2nd favorite player, and when he's on, he's the best player in the NBA. That being said, Michael Redd, at this point in the season, has the edge over T-Mac. Redd is having a monster scoring season so far- he's the one we have to shut down. Villanueva is hot and cold, but Redd is the man for the Bucks.

    given that the bucks think they have bigs who can bang, they may be less likely to double team yao, which is bad news for them. I think novak and v-span might get some burn, givern the turnover fest that was last night's game, and the fact that its the 2nd leg of a back to back. Novak being the home town boy and torching this team in the preseason (5-6 on threes) might help.

    that, and im offended by the idea that Charlie Villenueva has an "edge" over Chuck "the Janitor" hayes.

    right now, i might have to give the edge to the bucks here. Redd has been playing really well to start the season

    I'll be at this one.

    I really hope Battier can handle Charlie V. He's been playing out of his mind lately.

    First of all, Simmons is hurt. Second, I would say Alston vs. Williams is a wash at best. Third, Redd can give anyone trouble, and I would argue he'll contribute about as much tonight as the ghost of T-Mac, if not more.

    As long as Yao is'nt feeling after-effects from the rolled ankle and poked eye then he should outplay Bogut(aka Bogus?)

    Redd has been playing well, shooting a high percentage. Unfortunately T-Mac has been just the opposite. We really need McGrady to play well, especially if Yao is feeling less than 100%

    I understand the game is on FoxSW. They can't play worse, but back to back's are brutal. I hope to see some other players like Novak and VSpan. Last night was like a suckathon, just awful basketball.

    I think the Rocks will pull out another close one...hard to get blowouts on the road esp with our shaky shooting and TO problems...just win baby. I think JVG will use more of his bench and he better activate Wells for 2nite's game and leave Padgett off active roster. Look for Yao to be himself and Mac to get better esp after the effort last night. Novak will play and help space the floor better and I think Rafer bounces back with a better performance as well.

    Some views about Yao's rebounds for the past 4 games:

    1. Off rebounds nums: 2.6 (05-06) vs 2.3
    Def rebounds nums: 7.6 (05-06) vs 5.8

    2. The big drop is in the def.'s side

    3. In the def. side, most times Yao uses his position to create good chances for his teamates to grab the balls, which saves some energy for him to have more aggresive action in off side
