    The Bucks have been very competitive with some of the best teams lately. I don't watch them, but the past couple of games have been pretty close.
    @Miami W 91-82
    vs. Atlanta L 97-92
    @ Houston W 105-99
    @ Chicago L 100-107
    vs. LAL 100-89

    Thoughts?

    They were ridiculously accurate against on 3s. Aren't they usually among the bottom in 3pt %? I may be wrong.

    They have several solid defensive players.

    Bucks will have a hard landing this season.

    They have some talent. I can see them finishing the season close to .500 and sneaking into the playoffs (I hate that you can have a losing record and make the playoffs, just shows how stupid the NBA is).

    Without Bogut, I don't see them sustaining this.

    I still can't for the life of me understand how we lost to them even without Bogut.

    Is this a way of justifying our loss to them?

    No, it just means our loss to them wasn't the warning sign we thought it was.

    Man i still feel sorry for them when Bogut went out i believe in the first round a few years back. They looked like they were really getting it going and were almost going to knockoff Atlanta.

    Along with Houston, Milwaukee is a franchise that actually TRIES TO COMPETE. But they're a prime example of low market franchise that can't attract big talent and will stay mediocre without tanking.

    They have a deep solid team. If Jackson becomes motivated then they can still make playoffs without Bogut.

    They can hit the 6th to 8th spot, even with Bogut down for 2-3 months, if he gets back and can get back some match fitness, they could beat any team in the east except the top 2 in a series.

    Say what you want about the guy, but everywhere Stephen Jackson goes, his teams succeed and do well. The guy is a winner...He won in San Antonio, Golden State, Indiana, and even took the Bobcats to the playoffs. Milwaukee missed the playoffs last season. I think he will help the Bucks get to the playoffs this year even with Bogut being out.

    If so, they probably push the Knicks out of the playoffs.
