Milwaukee Bucks!

Holy s**t ! I think that the Bucks are this seasons one of the most entertaining team! They playing really good, I didn't expect that at the start of the season! But what a great suprise!
Today when I saw the highlights from the Bucks - Hornets game... T.J Ford alley-oop was just FANTASTIC.
Then Desmond Mason has been very effective from the bench this season, and also makes entertaining plays... but most important, his very effective!
All-Star Redd is ...... like a Allstar! ;)
What do you think of the Bucks?

bout time people started to notice i say!
ive been a redd fan from when he was drafted and ive been aiting 3 years for him to finally start and show what hes got.
Now hes leading the Bucks to the playoffs, TJ Ford will be good, but he needs to work on a jumper.
Tim Thomas is just lazy and soft. so much talent and potential going to waste with him.
Desmond Mason is the high flyer of the team and has solid D, a 6th man candidate.
Skinner and Smith both are playing well.
Gadzuric gives solid numbers when hes on his game.

^^^^

You like the Bucks....sweet

I'm a Bucks fan too after the Raptors obviously, and Redd is also one of my fav players.

All I can say is everyone is playing great except for Timmy he's annoying, but he could be better if he just worked and wasn't such a baby. He's not putting up bad number, but common this is the year where everyone leaves, and its only you and Redd and he's only 1 ppg higher than last year. Damon Jones has also been good as the backup for Ford and Toni Kukoc has been helpful too, he's playing well off the bench.

Toni's been amazing for the Bucks.. seriously.. everytime he gets in the game.. he makes great passes and uses his brains and ball fakes to get pass defenders and it kills da def even with his speed..

He reminds me of Larry Legend just that Larry played more mins and shot more and mroe of a leader .. and better overall of course , probally practiced way harder too

I picked the Bucks to be in the NBA basement this year. On paper, it looked like they'd entered another rebuilding phase starting from scratch. After trading away their three best players, they seem to be getting back on track and are playoff bound. Being an Eastern team certainly has its advantages, but they're still doing better than other Eastern teams that, on paper at least, should be ahead of them in the standings.

The outstanding play of SG Michael Redd and PG T.J. Ford is a big reason the Bucks are in playoff contention. But the thing that separates this team from past Bucks teams is its ability to piece together a productive frontcourt on the cheap. F/C Brian Skinner is averaging 7.4 rebounds in just 27.4 minutes per game. Even C Daniel Santiago has held his own when forced into the lineup. But the real prize is F/C Dan Gadzuric. His numbers -- 5.6 rebounds and 1.7 blocks -- don't stand out, but when you consider he plays just 18.3 minutes, his production has been remarkable. Throw in PF Joe Smith, and that foursome makes about $8 million combined. . .

I think more Michael Redd.
Kukoc is doing the same hes doen all his career.
hes always been a smart player and has one of the best fundamental games other than TD.

without kukoc, the bucks can barely reach .500.

I was always a Bucks fan just not posting on the site then.

Also Kukoc isn't the main reason for the Bucks sucess its, Redd, Ford, the fact that they have big men that are playing well, and their whole bench. Damon Jones assisting well, Mason scoring, Toni Kukoc doing a little bit of all and their big men on the bench especially Gadzuric.

sure he is, with kukoc they win 56%, without him its 44%. if the bucks dont have kukoc, they would have a celtics-like record. (Y)

Well he's only missed 9 games, and in that stretch they went 4-9. But actually he was out in December, and in that same stretch Tim Thomas also missed 7 games, and Joe Smith missed one or two game there too.
