Welcome back Milwaukee Bucks


The three year post Big Three hangover is behind us. Bucks Basketball is back and built in the model of the 80s glory years. Who woulda thought Big Men dunking, rebounding, and blocking shots? Not during the George Karl era. He didn't value rebounding, never understood that, but his protege Terry Stotts does. The captain of the ship is steering them in the right direction. Especially after last nights HUGE win over the SA Spurs. 109-107. It shouldn't be surprising who was front and center in the win.

Bogut. Andrew Bogut. The Melbourne Maniac. Remember a couple of months ago when Bucks fans were screaming for Marvin WIlliams? Good thing that worked out. Sure he may be good, but Bogut is proving to be the kind of tough player the Bucks have desperately needed. This was none more evident last night when he rebounded a missed shot and put it back up with a few seconds left to send the game to OT. Would this have happened with last years team? No way. But not to be out done. Tie game .7 seconds left, Kukoc lofts the perfect tip pass to Bogut, who tips it in and the Bucks win. I think Paschke had an aneurysm when he sank it. You can honestly say that if the Bucks didn't have Bogut they would not have beat the defending champs. That's when you know you made the right draft choice.
