Last January: Ridnour, for the win.
Click for the preview in words and pictures...
UPDATE: Luc Mbah a Moute is out with a sprained left foot. Listed day-to-day.
- Due? Yes, the Nets remain winless precisely three weeks after their opener. They are struggling at this sport, but they will win a game, probably sooner rather than later. Even a club with an unsightly -10.27 point differential is bound to come out on top eventually, and they have come quite close. On the same night Brandon Jennings went for a drive to 55, the Nets almost scored their first win of the season in South Beach against the hot, hot Heat. New Jersey made just 30-70 (.429) from the field and had more turnovers (12) than assists (11), but Miami still needed a game-winning buzzer beater from Dwyane Wade to prevail. Another loss last night in Indy, which means Jersey is even more worrisomely due.
- There's no "O" in New Jersey Nets. Plenty of E's though: effusively embarrassing? The Bucks refocused defensively a bit in the second half against Dallas. After allowing 33 points in each of the first two quarters on Monday, they gave up just 19 in the both the third and fourth quarters. After facing some serious offensive firepower the last few games, Milwaukee welcomes the worst offensive team in the NBA into town tonight. Brook Lopez (who piled up 26/16 and 5 blocks last night in a loss to Indiana) is the most capable of the current bunch, and he worked the Bucks in his rookie season, averaging 16.0 points on 68.4 % from the field in four games. That all came sans Andrew Bogut, but we'll need a better effort early by the Aussie than he brought against Drew Gooden on Monday. Chris Douglas-Roberts (27/12/3 last night) is a hooper, which everyone except NBA scouts (he went 40th two draft ago, just a few spots after Mbah a Moute) seemed to realize. The Nets sorely miss Devin Harris, who is coincidentally sore himself, sidelined with a sore groin. After keeping their first four opponents under the century mark, the Bucks have allowed at least 100 points in each of the past four; though pace is a factor in that equation. In any event, time to start a new under-100 streak, or we unofficially, officially have a problem.
- You might want to direct Chris Douglas-Roberts to the right. Fair assessment?

Not sure yet; just based the lineup on the last game. Gardner reports Ilyasova might start.

The classic "take care of business" game
They’re missing key weapons offensively and this wasn’t a good team to begin with, so zero excuse for not getting a win. These are the games a team like the Bucks can’t afford to lose.
Lopez/Bogut seems the obvious matchup to watch…if Bogut can play Lopez even or better then you’d think the Bucks win.
by Frank Madden on Nov 18, 2009 1:20 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
The Bucks need to worry about the Bucks, and get back to playing hard nosed physical defense, rebound, play fast and unselfish on offense, they should win this one going away.
If things are close at the end, lets go through Bogut more. In loses to Dallas and Chicago and almost Golden State, we didn’t even look Boguts way in crunch time.
In turn, Bogut needs to quit being a pussy and take it up strong in the fourth quarter like he does in the first quarter. Quit driving to the front of the rim, get two feet from it, and pass out to a shooter!!!!
Shoot the fvcking ball and get a foul, possibly and one, and the fouls add up to the bonus.
That’s where Jennings will take over a game and Bogut wants to defer. Am I wanting Bogut to do more than he is capible of?
I don’t think so. It’s all mental.

Sigh
I guess this makes Ilyasova a shoe in to start? Or since it’s at SF – Delfino?

Ilyasova may start ahead of Warrick, but I’d assume Delfino goes at the 3 if he’s healthy. Nets look like they’ll be going small with Williams at the 3.

Granted, they’re my second choice tonight, but the Badger game is online only, and costs $3 to watch.

It'll depend on how things go over the next few years.
It’s possible he could resurrect basketball in the city and re-sign. Or, it’s possible he’ll return to Earth and the Bucks will drift back down with him. If he doesn’t win in Milwaukee and draw enough interest, he’ll be gone in three years and the team will be gone a year or two after.
Even in my current intrigued status, though, I’m still not inclined to buy a ticket for a game. They’re ridiculously overpriced, and the Bradley Center is a miserable place to watch a game.

With that said, I'm hardly an NBA expert.
All I really know about the NBA is what I see on Sportscenter. I recently learned there are teams in the NBA in cities that aren’t New York, Cleveland and Los Angeles.

They really aren't overpriced. You can buy a 10 dollar ticket and, at this point, most likely move down
“Jenning’s Earth” I still see as spectacular, so I’m not worried about that. I’m thinking optimistically, and believing he’ll resign here

I haven't been to a Bucks game in years
But the last time I went was roughly 2001. We had tickets behind one of the baskets in the upper deck, way up. Tried to move down reasonably, to the bottom of the upper deck. Got busted and sent back. I watched the ants play basketball for a while, then left and haven’t been back since.

I have to admit I haven't been back since then either
but my understanding from talking with people who have is that you can move down now, though I could be wrong.

Sorry (I totally mis-understood your comment)
Yeah it was sort of like that. But the difference was that Evans didn’t come back in the game it happened (against the Spurs). I didn’t know that Evans would come back.
The Jennings stinger I could tell was painful and he need a few minutes to recover, but it wasn’t going to make him miss action or anything.

Sweet, just got back into Madison. Saw this one live, and the final score doesn’t tell the story at all. Besides the fact that Bogut has become an absolute beast and dominated the well regarded Brook Lopez on both ends of the court, a lot of the hustle that won this game didn’t shine through. Jennings is a great playmaker, but this game he never found a rhythm. Skiles actually had him at the two with Ridnour taking it up court for much of the second half.
The unsung heroes to me were Ersan Ilyasova and Carlos Delfino. Ersan was crucial in bringing energy at key moments to make big plays that kept the Bucks in it. Carlos Delfino has just recovered from illness and if this is him healthy then more please.
This game was closer than it looked, but that’s okay with me. Lawrence Frank is a hell of a coach regardless of the streak and he has a lot of young talent that will someday grow into something special. Seriously, a team with Harris, Lee, Williams, CDR, and Lopez has a bright future.
The thing that stood out was the Nets ability to drive to the hoop, in particular Alston and Douglas-Roberts. The Bucks desperately need more players that can create contact and get free throws with regularity. Jennings can develop it, but Bogut, Warrick, Ilyasova and Delfino all need to bring it to the hoop every night. It changes everything.
