Three Points
- The Point. When news arrived that Jennings would start (gracias, Scott Skiles -- I like Skiles pronounced in Spanish), my eternal point-guard-state-of-mind inevitably turned to a charming little opening night matchup: Louis Williams vs Brandon Jennings. Williams (6-1, 175) is one of the few starting points in the NBA who is both as slight as Jennings (6-1, 170) and as potentially electric.
So while Jennings won't be physically overmatched, make no mistake: He will face a steep challenge defending the Sixer point guard. Sure, Williams made a nice 3.8 free throws per game last year; more illustrative is that he drew 174 fouls and attempted 1018 field goals, for a DrawFoul% (yes, DrawFoul%, it's almost 2010, party people) of 17.1. For perspective, Ramon Sessions led Milwaukee at 15.7 last year. Translation: It ain't easy staying in front of Williams. Then again, Williams shot a career-low 39.8 % from the field last year, so questionable outside shooting is another facet the starting point guards might share. However, Williams started Philly's opener in fine form, converting 6-9 from the field (and 2-3 from outside) for 18 points, 4 assists, and no turnovers in a 120-106 loss in Orlando on Wednesday.
- Marreese's Pieces in Sam's Club. While the Sixers were the NBA's worst three-point shooting team last season, they are liable to inflict much harm in the paint. We know Williams is able to get into the lane at his leisure. And Philadelphia has a trio of very capable big men in Samuel Dalembert, Elton Brand, and Marreese Speights.
The Haitian Sensation in particular has scored much historical success against Bogut -- especially in the last three head-to-head matchups, all Philly wins. In those three contests, Dalembert averaged 12.7 points, compared to Bogut's 4.7. That will not work. And don't overlook Speights, who made 10-11 from the field for 26 points off the bench in the team's opener. Meanwhile, defensive ace Mbah a Moute will shadow (among others) the fast-rising Thaddeus Young, whom the Sixers settled for on draft night a couple years ago, writes Bob Cooney at Philly.com, oh dear...
-
And maybe fighting for a playoff spot and landing late in the lottery isn't always so precarious. Let's remember to cheer for wins, only settle for a high draft pick, and not the other way around. Speaking of which...Little did they know that then-general manager Billy King was working the phone lines feverishly. So busy was King looking for a deal that he did not come out to address the media about his draft night (which also included getting current backup Jason Smith) until just after midnight.
"Our main thing that night was to move up to get Yi," King said recently. "We were trying to get up in the top where the proven players were, which was clearly in the top seven or eight. As it turns out in this case, maybe some of the best moves you make are the ones you don't make."
- Game Prediction? Personally: Bucks 88 Sixers 86 (not Frank-co-signed). Surely the Sixers will look sharp -- they'll don an updated, classic uniform this year. But it's late-October and thus, Milwaukoptimism doesn't spoil
for easily one, two weeks. What say you?

Finally!
Great pre-game post Alex. Finally the season is underway (although late for us Bucks fans). The other Bucks blogs should start to become more active now too, I haven’t been this excited for a Bucks season in awhile.
I’m really hoping Jennings will be able take on Lou because of their similar size.

I heard that his back has been causing problems…but than i also read a qoute where even if he was in a wheelchair he would play. Anyone have a update on his back?

Since I can no longer log into RealGM, I guess I will do most of my posting here this season, so get used to it, lol.
I thought long and hard about what one player in the league I would trade a player for and a number pick next year. A player if we added would be our answer long term at PF. The player"? Marreese Speights
I predict a 34 win season (I think you guys did as well). As for tonight’s game? I remember the first time we played them last season we stayed ahead of them on the score board, until the final six minutes when they physically beat us to a pulp.
Bucks 93
Sixers 88

Another player to trade a player for and a number pick next year...
Al Horford…I know he plays center for the hawks but his physicality would blend well with Bogut down low and would change the way people play the Bucks
by Brewcityhoya13 on Oct 30, 2009 9:39 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Horford is probably untouchable. I am looking at guys that could be available for the right proce, ie a Bucks player and a top three protected number one pick next year.
Yes, I would prefer Horford also if given the choice between the two.

Jennings isn’t bashful…buries a contested three 1:20 in for his first bucket, then misses a questionable jumper in transition. Like what I see so far though.

Well, he put up some crazy numbers the year before he got re-signed—his rebounding was off the charts and he had a high fg%. But he’s gone off the cliff since then.
Either way, it was a joke giving him the deal he got because they had just drafted Bogut—given Gadz’s PT was going to be majorly limited by Bogut, the odds of him delivering MLE value over six years were low even if he played well.

Less than before
I think giving Jennings the keys to the car probably makes sense, and while Sessions > Ridnour, at least there’s no doubt which direction we’re going.
Plus Sessions hasn’t done much in Minny, so that helps too :)

Yeah I think it's interesting that Rambis won't play Flynn & Sessions together
Makes you wonder exactly why the Wolves signed Sessions in the first place.

Collecting talent isn't a bad philosophy
Even if Sessions is only OK, his deal is at least reasonable.
But I agree, he’s not a guy you can play a lot off the ball.

Not only that
He can’t shoot. Alot of Kings fans were hoping that the Kings would have signed Sessions, but I was like why? He can’t shoot, and neither can Evans. You have to be proficient outside to entice any team to want you.

Eddie Jordan likes that the Sixers are getting the Bucks to "turn over"
Considering the Bucks have a total of five turnovers, I’m not sure what that means.
Otherwise: Bucks narrowed fg% gap to .459% to .455% with the hot second quarter.
I doubt they’ll win with Bogut replicating his 4 pt (2/6 fg), 2 rebound half, but tough to complain about a six point halftime lead on the road. After all, we’re going to finish 15th in the East, right?

Depressing.
Oh well. At least Jennings is good, heh.

They got nothing from Bogut and Redd was poor as well….doesn’t matter how well Jennings plays if the big money guys don’t bring it.

Same old sad bucks
Bogut, owned by Dalembert, complete nonfactor. C.Bell pathetic, someone needs to blow out his knees so I don’t have to watch him get lit up every night, throw balls away, and clank open jumpers.
Illysova, a complete train wreck unless you like fouls and wild jumpers. You can’t tell me that Joe Alexander isn’t a ton better option than this guy on the floor.
Gadzuric, a joke, you don’t always get what you pay for!!!
This team needs Alexander, he is one of few guys on this roster that can run the floor with Jennings. Jennings could get him a handful of easy lay ins or dunks every night just by running the floor.
Back to biggest disappointment, Bogut. Whats up with him, two years ago he looked like he had gotten in shape and appeared much quicker and stronger. This version looks like a slow, weak slug. He should be consistent by now, not constantly up and down, show up for one or two nights with 23pts 13reb 3blks, then come out and put up 8 pts 5 reb.
Delfino will actually help, as he can make threes unlike others.
Big ups to Jennings, he competed his butt off, tried to spark this lifeless crew, he is going to soon feel the frustration that is the Milwaukee Bucks, welcome to our world Brandon!!!!

Bucks stink!!
It’s gonna be another long season folks. A sad performance against the 76’ers revealed just how bad this team is going to be. Anyone who spends their money to buy tickets to Bucks games is a sucker. Save your money.
