BUCKS could take over 8th spot in the east tonight

[milwaukee mike]

with a 18-24 record

[Domestic]

East is always so top heavy every year, unbelievable.

[jjgold]

Scoty Skiles too me is a top 5 NBA coach
One of my all time favorite college/nba players so

Poor guy never has much material to work with either but they are always competitive

That 18-24 record is deceiving as they lost a ton of close games

[rm18]

They are dangerous, do not forget their best player has been out 90% of the year.

[HotStreak]

Ilyasova and Gooden have been beasting.

[oiler]

like milw tonight myself

[doylfish]

They are dangerous, do not forget their best player has been out 90% of the year.

Also don't forget theyve played a more road heavy sched so far and they've played the most difficult portion of their sched in terms of quality teams

[lunchbawks]

cleveland and detroit also knocking on the door

[DrankN Budweiser]

According to Rotoworld:

Al Jefferson is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons due to a family matter.


&
Deron Williams (calf) will not play in Monday's game against the Bucks.

[oiler]

i sure hope u dont think they will advance pass the first round.it will never happen

[leetreaper]

I dont understand how the Nets gonna play without Williams, he IS the team...

[milwaukee mike]

i sure hope u dont think they will advance pass the first round.it will never happen

8 seed will have to play either chicago or miami, lucky to win a game unless bogut is healthy and not traded

the bucks are something like 9-2 against teams below them in the standings, they are a very bettable team against bad competition

[neverstoppers23]

wonder what the bucks are going to do, rumors are they are shopping erson and bogut hard. erson is havnig an amazing season esp. the last few games. one of the best players no one talks about. kinda like a rasheed wallace type player, can back out and shoot the three, but pound down low and gets a shit load of rbs.

who knows what the bucks are doing to do. a-lot of contracts coming up this year and next year. jennings contract is done soon too. if we can keep this core together, jennings erson bogut. think we can at least be pretty decent. but when you are missing your best offensive and defensive player it hurts. but really our offensive is not even my concern with bogut, boguts defense is what this team needs down low. even though gooden is playing like he was in his prime, he sucks on defense. bogut is one of the best defensive centers in the game, as well as the best center who takes the most charges. think the guy was averaging almost three a game last year.

[zsr]

Good, would much rather bulls face you guys than the Knicks. Knicks can be scary, rose just destroys Jennings when they play.

[neverstoppers23]

no d.williams or lopez tonight for the nets, and the nets only dogs by 3? wow, bucks have a turrible record on the road but this seems like very good value esp.with the way bucks offense has been playing lately.
Jennings sucked last night for us, and we still pulled away from the raps. Guys like Illoysova are stepping up huge for us. Who know bucks may get back to .500 by seasons end?

[shadymcgrady]

Gotta give this team credit, they've managed to win despite the refs working against their favor the last few games against Toronto, nyk etc

[jjgold]

Bucks are the play
go get it

[PorkChop]

No Deron Williams, have to go Bucks - 3 right?

[milwaukee mike]

who's gonna win it?

the bucks
the bucks

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Do the Bucks really want to get pounded by the Bulls in the playoffs?

[sportfan]

This could an easy under 198.5 , no Dwill Nets prolly won't score over 80 pts

[milwaukee mike]

Do the Bucks really want to get pounded by the Bulls in the playoffs?

i would love that
sell my season tickets for $100+/each, if the bucks just win one game i get $400 for $100 worth of tickets

[Speedy88]

Bucks almost seem too obvious, but I'm going to roll with them. There is some incentive here for MIL, and NJ just sucks at home.

[milwaukee mike]

Do the Bucks really want to get pounded by the Bulls in the playoffs?

oh and by the way on wednesday night the heat will be taking over the top spot in the east

[stevenash]

Under looks enticing at 198.
I can't see NJ going off for more than 85 tonight.

Strong on the under

[doylfish]

Marshon Brooks could play large tonight, but bucks should still take it

[mcwmiamisc]

Brooks can't play that good again. Mil dominated 3Qs with Deron and Lopez in the game. Now they are out. Should be another 10 pt win.

* Milwaukee 35-7 ATS vs Atlantic Div opponents the past 3 years.

This should be a big play

[PR9]

well I made a small play on the Cavs last night when i learned the Rox would be without Kyle Lowry, so same thing tonight on bucks as the nets will be without deron

[BimmerMan]

I know about the no star rule. Is there a no 2 star rule I am unaware of that should apply to the nets tonight?

[DudleyDawson]

like milw tonight myself

...

[milwaukee mike]

i think dudley wrote something about how i have never picked a winner

and then he had to edit it when it won
