Recap: Bucks 93, Pacers 81

Fanss_medium

Box Score

MILWAUKEE -- Five straight last place finishes in the division, and this is a good time to point out how refreshing and novel it is to quite reasonably expect the Bucks to beat the Pacers, Pistons, merely any team in the Central.

And even with Milwaukee traveling back from New York on the second of a back-to-back, even with Indiana in good form coming off a pair of convincing wins, even with Andrew Bogut returning after the fright of a migraine, the Bucks very rightly beat the overmatched Pacers. Just as expected.

Bogut led Milwaukee early, combing through Indiana's defense for 10 points in the first six minutes, propelling the team to another early lead. If last night was No Bogut, No Problem for the Bucks, then tonight was Bogut, Problem for the Pacers.

The Bucks built the lead all the way up to 18 early in the second quarter, but proved stubbornly determined to let the Pacers come back and hang around thereafter. You never really got the sense that they were in danger of losing, Indiana lacked any inventiveness after all, but it was one of those nights when it was frustrating to look at the scoreboard because you always felt Milwaukee should be up by more.

And such is the type of discontent that arises when you not only expect the team to win, but you expect them to do it with gusto. Nonetheless, the win now means the Bucks are in a virtual tie for the final playoff spot in the East. And if they beat fellow division opponent Detroit at home on Tuesday, the Bucks could be in playoff position soon. Just as few expected.

Recap: Bucks 114, Knicks 107

Box Score

No Bogut, no hope? 

I'll admit that's largely been my feeling about the 09/10 Bucks; sure, they're scrappy and hard-working, but at the end of the day Bogut is their anchor on both ends.  Take him away and the Bucks suddenly have no shot-blocking presence, a limited ability to compete on the glass and no one who can consistently score out of the post. There's more than a few good reasons why everyone who's watched more than 15 minutes of Bucks basketball this year says Bogut is the glue, the MVP, the anchor.

People give your ears so I be sublime: Bucks dot Dwyer's latest lists for the year-end awards.

Understandably no MVP looks, but Brandon Jennings is second is second in ROY. That is fair. Sacramento losing 16 of 18 (!) won't help Tyreke's creds, but Brandon missing six of seven shots won't either. Still, franchise-invigorators, both of them.

Meanwhile, Andrew Bogut is fourth in line for DPOY, both flattering and deserved at once. In January, 'Drew averaged 11.3 rebounds and 2.7 blocks. And he is third in the NBA in drawing charges.

Luke Ridnour is second on the Most Improved Player list, and also places fourth in Sixth Man of the Year. A real sixth man, Luke has not started a single game this season, and he ranks sixth in minutes played on the team. Such a joy to watch, not only tremendously effective, but he always gives the hard foul. I hope Jennings is looking up to his backup.

Pretty fair placement for them all, I think. Thoughts?

Hand over eyes, still able to find the hoop better than the Bucks

Box Score

Milwaukee started the night like it was Game 1 of the first round, an upstart club vying to for a playoff upset on the court of a conference power, a title contender. And Orlando played the rest of the game like a rather upset conference power, a title contender on their home court, like it was Game 1 of the first round.

The two-night Florida Formula followed a strange pattern for Milwaukee: lead by a lot early, lose by a lot late. And vice-versa.

A night after going down 11-0 before ultimately going way up 97-81 in Miami, the Bucks went up to Orlando and went up 18-6 before ultimately going way down.

Andrew Bogut epitomized Milwaukee's hot-brief-start and cold-long-finish by scoring eight points in the first six minutes followed by two more in the last 42 minutes of the game.

And as well as the Bucks have played on the second night of back-to-backs this season (now 6-5), it just wasn't going to work tonight. Not with this being the third game in four nights. Not with Carlos Delfino getting blocked (3) more times than making shots (2). Not with Brandon Jennings (2) scoring as many points as Dan Gadzuric.

Not the signature road win tonight. And given the circumstance? Not to my surprise.
