On the Kings:
Sactown Royalty / Cowbell Kingdom
Following their surprising blowout win over the Lakers in Los Angeles, the Bucks look to avoid a letdown when they face the struggling Kings in Sacramento.
Strange Brew. The Bucks haven't been good on the road (4-10), but they have been plenty unpredictable. Following their shocking destruction of the Lakers on Tuesday, the Bucks have beaten the Mavs (23-5), Lakers (21-8), Hawks (19-12), and Pacers (13-14, but still above them in the playoff pecking order) while losing to such illustrious foes as the Wolves (6-24), Cavs (8-21), Pistons (10-19), and Sixers (11-18). Add it up and the Bucks are 4-6 on the road against teams currently in playoff position and 0-4 against teams outside their respective conference's top eight, which suggests the Bucks are in all sorts of trouble squaring off against the league-worst Kings (5-21).
The Fish. Is John Salmons turning the corner? I sure as heck hope so. Salmons' struggles have been one of the dominant storylines of the Bucks' season so far, but a second half scoring binge in Portland and a good all-around night against the Lakers offer some signs of encouragement. Salmons was 5/6 inside 10 feet against the Blazers, and while he made just 2/5 against L.A., we shouldn't ignore his 7/9 night from the stripe. He's only had one other game all season where he attempted more than six free throws (8/10 in Indiana), so I'll take it.
Cousins the Sub. The Kings' lineup will get another shakeup tonight following DeMarcus Cousins' latest act of idiocy. Cousins had started the previous nine games and has averaged a healthy-looking 13.8 ppg and 8.6 rpg so far this month, but he continues to show little discretion from the field, shooting just 43.2% this month and 41.6% for the season--not exactly what you'd like to see from an outrageously talented big man who is shooting over 71% at the rim. Then again, discretion has never been listed as one of his strengths. If scouts were convinced that he had even half a brain, he'd have likely been one of the top two picks in the draft, but instead the Kings (quite understandably) scooped him up at #5. It's not that anyone picked behind Cousins has done much of note, but you can only imagine how good he would (/will) be if (/when) he grows up.
King Bigs. Bucks fans should have been pleased to see perennial Bogut-stopper Sammy Dalembert dealt out west over the summer, but he's been struggling to find regular minutes of late in a crowded frontcourt that also features DeMarcus Cousins, Carl Landry, Jason Thompson, and former Buck Darnell Jackson. But with Cousins benched and Jason Thompson dealing with a stitched up finger, Dalembert would seem to be in line for his first start since December 3.
Acquired in the Jon Brockman deal over the summer, Jackson has surprisingly started the past two games, though Landry has ended up playing more minutes each game off the bench. As for Brockman, he returns to face the Kings for the first time since the sign-and-trade that made him a Buck over the summer. No one can question Brockman's effort or willingness to do the dirty work, but so far he hasn't been doing the one thing he's supposed to be really good at: rebounding. Through 27 games, Brockman is grabbing a middling 13.6% of possible rebounds after a fantastic 18.7% as a rookie, and playing as an undersized center has only further highlighted his lack of length--at 6'7", he's undersized for a PF, let alone a center.
ROY oh boy. Tyreke Evans justifiably took home rookie of the year honors last year, but the second year leap Kings fans were hoping for simply hasn't materialized thus far. Evans has battled plantar fasciitis much of the season and his numbers have suffered across the board. Heck, even Brandon Jennings is shooting better than Evans thus far (.383/.273/.748 and 45.3% TS), which is saying something. Aside from the injuries, there's been some suggestion that Evans' predictability (he heavily favors his dominant right hand) has allowed defenses to gameplan him more effectively, and all the talk about Evans improving his jump shot over the summer hasn't lived up to the hype either. He's no doubt better than what he's shown thus far, but he'll first have to get back to where he was before the superstar talk can be restarted, and the nagging nature of plantar fasciitis may make that difficult any time soon.
Gooden getting there? Jeremy has a good piece over at Bucksketball on the diverging fortunes of the Bucks' two biggest offseason acquisitions, Drew Gooden and Corey Maggette. While it's nice having a big man with deep touch, I'm a bit concerned with Gooden's increasing reliance on jump-shooting, particularly given he's a savvy finisher (61% at the rim). Gooden's own issues with plantar fasciitis are likely a part of his increased interest in his jump shot, but like Evans it's anybody's guess if he'll get back to 100% this season. Either way, it's rather reassuring to see Gooden (and John Salmons) finding their way a bit after early season struggles. Maggette...well, not so much. Either way, Gooden will be on the sidelines tonight because of his foot, while Maggette is traveling with the team but also expected to miss out following his concussion last week.

The Bucks NEED to win this game!
The Kings have the worst record in the league, and 8 of the Bucks next 9 are against winning teams.

It was announced by Westphal sometime yesterday that Landry and Dalembert would start.
EvilCowtownInc: Screwin Suckaz over since 1985...... On Twitter
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I was also going to say in the above comment before I hastily hit post, that Darnell Jackson started as much to give the Kings some balance in the starting lineup and to give Landry a chance more touches off the bench (I suspect).
At either rate, D-Jax likely won’t start for awhile unless injuries and/or trades demands that he does.

plantar fascitis sounds a bit more masculine than sore footy ;)
yes buy I maintain that position throughout the rest of the year if we wanted a 6-10 guy hiding out shooting jumpshots we could have kept Yi

I must say Beno Udrich scares me in much the same way Louis Williams of Philly does
they always rip off great games against us

Seriously, I might hurt myself if Milw drops this game.
They’d be .500 if they could’ve won 3 of the 4 against Min/Det/Cle/Philly – that alone is enough to make a man drink several beers – and that’s the excuse I’ll be using tonite ; )
its like our little parade of shame.......lets hope we dont ad Sactown to the list

Bucks have lost a lot of games to teams with bad records this year:
Min, Cle, Phi, even losing the season series to Por and Noh may look worse at season end.
Really need to show up tonight.
Sorry Victor, didn't notice you'd just made the same point before me :)
Glad you reminded me of Det too, now that was an ugly game!!
At least Detroit played well.
With all those shooters, they are going to have their nights. But those other losses were on us.

Skiles has to motivate.
Doesn’t coaching enter into this?
Agreed!
No one was expecting him to be Karl Malone – but he’s not even 12th man quality, IMO.
But maybe he’ll play like a demon tonite since he’s going back to the team that traded him. : )
I remember everyone talking about how we would love Brockman when he first got here!
Listening to Kings Fans say how he was a guy that did all the odds and ends for them.
How they were sad thatthey had tolet a character guy go…Tonight, they can have him…
Brockman is a less aggressive, non “pot smoking” Frank Brickowski 2.0! Leave him and Goodie and a 2nd rounder on the nightstand for Landry!
Wishful thinking.
But Dalembert would might work.

Gotta have a PG to breathe down Jennings neck for the “starter” role at this point, it’s the ONLY way we can maximize Jennings performance to find out if he is really apart of our future going forward!

Re:Music and Entertainment @ the BC.
Did any of you ever notice how boring the music is at the BC?
I noticed how cool that “jungle drum” music was in Dallas the other night.
Or how rocking Portland was…Milwaukee plays the “foulest music possible” at a game!
We need to create our own flare!
I like the Pistons music too!
It sounds so aggressive thats the stuff we need!
opposing teams come into the BC and they know this team is just barely there!
God I wish we had a few winning season’s under our belt so that we could propose a new home Orlando’s first home was built during the same time the BC went up and they got good and then built their new venue…we should have sold the BC to the Potawotomi!
I think we should get The Wiggles to rock out at the BC. IMO.

Thought I would like the Sanders/Brockman combo on the court for their hustle, but they just kill the Bucks offense.
Boykins is having to carry the offense with two non factors on the floor.
It's pretty sad
Why can’t we at least just chuck Maggette out there? Bad long 2’s are better then no long twos….No, that’s not how it goes…

so far we haven’t missed a beat without Jennings, so hopefully we can keep the momentum going. If Boykins can keep it up, will he continue to get decent burn when Jennings gets back? I mean, we still have 5 more weeks to play out, so who knows if he can even keep it up lol

Sacramento beat themselves tonight! This should have been a loss…but a wins a win…we’ll take it! Where do you guys think we need help? I know I am gonna catch flack for this, but I think Michael Redd is going to play again! And with the team needing spot up shooting, Nobody on this team has a quicker release then #22! I think if Redd comes “focused” he will be playing for a contract! And oh man, what if Redd is this years Salmons?
Then what will we do in the offseason?
Redd is long gone.
Either they trade him, or they let him expire.
There’s no way he ever plays for Milw again.
He was a ball hog who played no D - and that was before TWO ACL tears
No thanks. Let him expire w/ his gobs of money.
I think he’s the higheest paid player in the NBA this yr
5th highest, your honor :)

Lol. Thanx, Speedy : )
Regardless, he’s done as a Buck.
But I wish him the best…. he was a bad-ass for a while, and always a class act.
I love Redd - but he's done as a legit NBA player
Maybe as an 8th man – but who are you kidding? The guys knee is shot – and he was a flawed player to begin with. Really good scorer/shooter for a few yrs, but that’s it.
He probably would’ve shined as a #2 or 3 on a PO team.
That maybe true I will give you that Victor but let’s put it this way Jennings is like a 3 on a PO team and Bogut is like a 3 as well!
Redd in his prime is better than both of them!
Redd in his prime was a bad-ass, but Bogut is a #2 on a PO team
BJ is still a baby – and barely a #3 on a PO team.
I still have high hopes for BJ – but i see him as a glorified TJ Ford – atleast at this point.
Bogut would be a #2 with a healthy Redd…Bogut still gets punked by the great Centers in todays game!
There are no "great" centers anymore.
And Bogut has played well against the good ones – K Perkins called him the best C in the NBA last yr.
There is no "Redd in his prime" anymore
I’d have some hope if not for how bad he looked last year before his injury…he was pretty brutal. Hope he gets back on the court somewhere, but I don’t see him being an impact player here.
by Frank Madden on Dec 24, 2010 12:07 AM CST up reply actions
I will stand alone…not only because I am the ONLY girl on this page…but I totally believe that Redd could still earn minutes over CDR as a back up! If I remember correctly, he could draw double teams! CDR doesn’t!
Not necessarily
If there’s a place for guys like Eddie House and Roger Mason, there’s a place for Michael Redd. I think he’ll get some minutes with the Bucks, but that will be the extent of his role.

Jennings, l like him, from a girl’s standpoint. But, I realistically think he is only as good as Milwaukee’s next PG prospect!

Redd is actually one of those guys you would cheer for to make a comeback, he’s never disgraced us like some NBA players…He’s been active in our community. I wanna see some Bucks records get broken…Kareem can’t sit on them all forever!
Got rid of Allen as he got close…then Big Dogg…Redd deserves his place…We haven’t retired a jersey in like forever!
Trading R Allen is one of the darkest days in Bucks history, IMO.
Letting him go for Redd was a major blunder
I would just say letting Ray go was a Major blunder. Redd could have been the Backup… Signing Tim Thomas was our problem!
No way
Redd needs around 3000 points.

We're not going to resign him, that much is clear
With that being said, he could possibly help this team if he doesn’t completely screw our defense.
And as for ball movement, I doubt he could hurt us much more other then if he refuses to give the ball to Bogut…

I thought Redd's defense was fine
in Skiles’ first year, before the injury. Obviously, it won’t be easy for him to keep up with quicker players now, but I do think he was more capable than given credit for.
Until Skiles showed up, Redd hasn’t really played for a coach that cared about defense.

And just for the record on Jennings....
I’m convinced BJ is over-rated because of his 55 point game last yr….. which was a total fluke [it happens in the NBA] and against a team that doesn’t even PRETEND to play Defense.
I like Jennings [for the most part] but he’ll amount to Kenny Anderson 2.0, at best, IMO.
He’s by no means a franchise savior, IMO.
it's his second season, we can't write him off yet as Kenny Anderson 2.0
the 55 point game overrated him as a scorer, because he is much better at running the offense and playing through Bogut.

I also hate that you can barely find Bucks Merch…a lot of the things I own are from the 90’s.
I wish they went back to more of the traditional look! Or had “Throwbacks” like the Brewers do!
Kenny Anderson was a very good PG for a few yrs - I'll be happy if BJ has similar stats.
I’m just a snob when it comes to PGs – very few “PGs” actualy know how to run a team, IMO.
And I don’t see Jennings EVER in the class of a CP3, D Williams – or R Westbrook, D Rose, etc….

Those point guards are all very good to damn near ELITE.
Jennings is just “serviceable to good” at this point in his career!
again he has been in the league one year.
no one said he was gonna be elite, but who knows? Rondo wasn’t anything until he got guys like Garnett to help him become a better rounded basketball player. I don’t think he’ll ever be as good as Paul or Williams, which is fine, few are. Steve Nash didn’t become elite till later in his career. It’s pointless to already come to conclusions on what kind of career Jennings is going to have when he has just turned 21 and hasn’t even played two seasons.

Jennings does not play like a top 10 pick!
We need to get VALUE from our DP’s…Hammond blew a lot of our picks when we had a surplus. It’s not like teams give us top dollar for our players. We always get low balled. JH has some what destroyed our first rounders,if you can come to think of it. (I consider Jennings = average.) (JA=Bust!) (YI =Bust) (Sanders = too raw) The sudden reaction to go out and get Gooden didn’t help us much! Hell, look how Kurt Thomas is playing in Noah’s absence! We need that RIGHT NOW! We could have just kept him and saved money. I am going to the UC to support our Bucks but mainly to watch KT play us! Those savy vet moves we could use since were terrible as of late on the offensive glass. I am not gonna dog JH for turning Bell – Gadzuric into Maggette. That was simply our association with Larry Harris. (But, now we gotta move him.) We got LRMAM…good-very good defender, ok offensive player. But, we STILL need a scoring threat to offset LRMAM’s short comings offensively, to fill in the gaps and Maggette has NOT panned out for us! We can’t afford to keep average players around. Like I said Jennings is only as good as our NEXT pg prospect!
"Jennings does not play like a top 10 pick!"
What? He’s playing better then most other top ten picks. Hasheem Thabeet says hello…

That," says LeBron, "is for everyone that watches me play. They witness something special. You're all a witness.
Okay, you're name is extremely misleading.
Because all you’re doing is sitting on this blog complaining about ‘BJ3’. His shot is broken, you can give credit to Jay Bilas about that. Not sure if it can ever be fixed. Sometimes it’s pure, other times it’s a bag of bricks. That will likely be his inevitable downfall. As far as comparing him to Derron Williams, that’s just unrealistic. Williams for one, is one of the best PG in the league, if not the best. Two, he’s been in the league far longer. And three they don’t even have close to the same body types! D-Will is huge, he can manhandle any PG in the game, it’s part of what makes him so tough.
Overall, Brandon is a really nice PG, with a lot of upside still. He hasn’t totally figured out how to finish at the rim in the NBA yet, and once he gets that then look out. As far as assists, he’s not getting any because nobody on the team can shoot. Also, people forget that when he tosses it down to Bogut, and Bogut does his thing, that’s not an assist because Bogut is backing guys down and dribbling for usually 3-6 seconds. He doesn’t turn the ball over all that much, and he’s actually isn’t that bad at grabbing rebounds either. He may show a little indecision in terms of running the offense at times, but he’s still a raw talent. I agree that in college he would have had a lot better coaching and would have probably gotten some of these issues corrected already, but the didn’t. Think of it this way, if he did, he wouldn’t have went #10 to the Bucks.
So I’m not sure why everyone (not just BJ3fan) is just finding it convenient to straight up bash Jennings. He’s played what, 100 games or so in the NBA? So because he’s not a star yet we need to get rid of him? Collison is good, but he’s not a stud either. And it’s not smart to have 2 very young PG’s leading your team, you need veterans. I would’ve preferred someone other than Dooling, but he’s at least got size and defensive skills. Bogut didn’t start playing to this level until last year. That was 4 years after he was drafted people. Let’s just take a step back, and give Brandon some time here.
I like Brandon

Re: BJ3, KT, and Milwaukee's overall drafting past!
I like Brandon Jennings but I love Bucks basketball more than just one player himself, I am being realistic. True, maybe a “better” supporting cast around him might do the trick like in the case of Rondo and Nash but, by the time that happens, he could be on another team if Milwaukee fails to resign him! We are not getting our money’s worth for the production we need out of the PG position here as well as other aspects of basketball here in “small market” Milwaukee! Come on guys…Seriously… After how many years we spent in the tank, going to the lottery, we SHOULD have “hit” on a player at least once!!! There is NO excuse for the drafting record we have! For the longest time, we had Lawyers, a non basketball related front office people calling our draft day decisions. Herb Kohl was probably making decisions I think for our picks? We were horrible and upstart teams like: OKC…NO…Memphis…Orlando… Utah…Denver… to some degree, have SEEN talent come through their organizations! Some of it must have been blind luck, but some of it is “pure drafting skill”…something we don’t have in Milwaukee!!!! BJ3 has Swagger, Marketability, Potential, but he is NOT what we need here in Milwaukee to this point! If our offense is supposed to flow through Bogut, Salmons, dare I say Gooden?… and were relying on Jennings to create…and he is taking more shots than any of them…is he really working out for us?
2. I know KT is old, and I can’t say none of us expected him to have the year he is having with the Bulls because that is just BS…He is playing a continuation of where he left off in Milwaukee. He was solid behind Bogut…more reliable than Gooden and Sanders to this point. Definitely a lot better than Brockman, he gave us as close to a realistic shot of competing in the PO’s when Andrew went down and we “rewarded” him with giving him to our competitor.
As for the past 10 years of drafting, how did this happen? Did the FO personnel sit there with players names on a dart board?
Did they Rock, Paper, Scissors? How could we be this blind for so long? Did we invite homeless people off the street into the Bucks War Room for inspiration? Isn’t scouting like being a Salesman? I wonder how they get paid to evaluate talent here in Milwaukee?
