On the Cavs: Fear the Sword / Cavs: The Blog / Waiting For Next Year
The Bucks play their penultimate home game of the season against the struggling Cavaliers.
Cavalier update. Cleveland is finishing its rough season on a hot streak--well, relatively speaking at least. Byron Scott's bunch is 4-5 over its last nine games and had beaten Charlotte and Toronto before losing to the Bulls at home last night, not bad for a team that is 17-62 and tied with Minnesota for the worst record in the league. In that sense you can't blame Cleveland fans for feeling a bit torn about their team's last three games--the worst team in the league has a 5% better chance of winning the lottery (25%) than the second-worst team (19.9%).
In defense of Bogut. Playing their first game without their defensive anchor, the Bucks' defense looked decidedly ragged in Detroit, surrendering 110 points for the first time since their March 15 loss in Atlanta. In fact, they hadn't surrendered more than 98 point in the 12 games since, though their record was only 6-6 in that span.
FanPosts: The future of Jennings
Plenty of people have seen it already, but check out the Jennings conversation over in the FanPosts if you haven't already. While there are plenty of questions about Bogut's ability to return to the offensive form of 09/10, I'd argue the biggest question facing the Bucks is what they really have in Jennings.
Jam Sessions. Ramon Sessions was the Bucks' point guard of the present and future before Jennings came along, and though he's been coming off the bench behind Baron Davis, Sessions has still managed to score in double figures in eight straight games, including 16.4 ppg on .528/.897 shooting in 20.8 mpg in five April games.
As someone who was sad to see Ramon leave town, I'll also note that Sessions' per minute scoring, passing, rebounding, shooting (55.7% TS) and PER (18.68) are all better than Jennings' numbers, though it's also difficult to ignore the fact that Sessions has never been associated with a team that won more than 34 games. That's certainly not all his fault--not many PGs could have made the Bucks, Wolves, and Cavs winners over the past few years, but I'd also be curious to see how he'd do with real talent surrounding him.
Brockman out (again). Jon Brockman started in Detroit, but last just eleven minutes before reaggravating the left shoulder injury he sustained against Toronto on March 30. What, you thought the Bucks were going to stay healthy in the last week of the season? Why start now?
With Bogut and Brockman on the shelf, Scott Skiles will presumably choose between Drew Gooden and Larry Sanders at the starting center position. Much to my disappointment, Sanders played just 13 minutes in Detroit, so he's my preferred choice to get some much-needed burn in the season's last week.
Hickson stars. The Cavaliers somewhat famously refused to include J.J. Hickson in a potential Amare Stoudemire deal two years ago, which makes it easy to wonder what might have been. Could a Cavs team with Amare have won it all in 2010? If they had, would LeBron have left?
Hickson's uneven form since then has made it even easier to wonder, and his overall numbers this year haven't lived up to the lofty expectations that came with his promising first two seasons. That's been especially true against the Bucks, against whom he's averaging a paltry 2.7 ppg on 22% shooting in three games this year. Still, Hickson has at least been trying to make up for it with a strong finish: 22 ppg and 12.4 rpg in five April games thus far.
JS: Gooden calls season a learning experience
I'm not going to suggest Drew Gooden was the missing piece of the 50-win (or 40-win) puzzle all season long, but since returning from his long layoff he's given at least some evidence for why John Hammond and Scott Skiles actually wanted him last summer. Though his TS% has gone in the tank compared to the last two seasons, his overall numbers still translate into fairly productive numbers and you can see why he's managed to be a useful rotation player on so many good teams. He was miscast as a long-term starter in Milwaukee, but for the time being the Bucks are stuck with him and might as well make the best of it.
"I feel a whole lot better," said Gooden, who missed 28 games in two months before returning for a game at Charlotte on March 28. "Of any time this year, this is the healthiest that I've felt. I feel light on my feet even though I've been out a long time. I'm still rusty. My teammates and my coaches say I'm playing well but I'm rusty. I feel like I'm not all the way there offensively yet. But it'll come."

Why is Gooden even active at this point in the season?
He is an NBA vet (so he doesn’t need experience), and he has battled plantar facitis (so he could use the rest). Furthermore, Sanders could be getting those minutes. Might as well give him extended burn now that the playoffs are officially out of the picture. I know Skiles has been hesitant to give Sanders consistent minutes, but somebody should have shut down Gooden and gone full out evaluation on Sanders so they know what to focus on during the offseason to make him a better player.
And with regard to the Bogut stuff, I did some research on defensive efficiency during his absences, and it is a bit dated (done as of March 8th), but here it is…there can be no doubt he is a great defensive player:

Here it is:
Games Bogut did not play this season (4 wins – 8 losses):
W @ IND on 11/5 - (88.2 pts allowed /100 possessions)
L @ CLE on 11/24 - (91.2 pts allowed /100 possessions)
L @ DET on 11/26 - (117.0 pts allowed /100 possessions)
W vs. CHA on 11/27 - (109.8 pts allowed /100 possessions)
L @ UTA on 11/29 - (117.2 pts allowed /100 possessions)
L @ DEN on 12/1 - (104.0 pts allowed /100 possessions)
W @ NJ on 1/8 - (100.0 pts allowed /100 possessions)
L @ PHX on 2/2 - (103.4 pts allowed /100 possessions)
L @ GSW on 2/3 - (108.7 pts allowed /100 possessions)
W vs. DET on 3/1 - (98.6 pts allowed /100 possessions)
L vs. PHX on 3/4 - (108.5 pts allowed /100 possessions)
L vs. BOS on 3/6 - (98.9 pts allowed /100 possessions)
Because efficiency is expressed on a per possession basis, we can average these values to get the overall defensive efficiency of the team without Bogut. The Overall defensive efficiency in those games (per possession), given in both absolute terms and relative to the rest of the league is:
103.8 pts allowed/ 100 possessions…NBA league average is 104.3, and the Bucks without Bogut would be ranked as the 14th best defense in the NBA.
The Bucks overall defensive efficiency this season (including all games…Bogut and non-Bogut) is:
100.2 pts allowed/100 possessions…this ranks the Bucks as the 4th best defense in the NBA.
So now let’s see how good the defense is with Bogut (ie- how he pulls them up from 14th best defense to 4th best defense). I do a bit of math to take the season efficiency value and adjust for the 12 games without Bogut to find out just how good a defense the Bucks have been in the 49 games with Bogut, and the result is:
99.3 pts allowed/100 possessions. This is good for 4th best in the NBA.
With Bogut: top-5 defense.
Without Bogut: 14th overall defense.
He’s a top-5 defender in my book.

By the way, I am a very big fan of Bogut.
I think defensive skills are undervalued in general, but point scoring is just as important as point prevention when it comes to winning. Any time you have a top-5 player in either regard it is something to celebrate and enjoy. I believe Bogut is a top-5 defender (partially because I strongly believe interior defenders in the NBA are inherently and drastically more important in making a defensive impact).
Ok, I’ve wasted enough space speaking my peace. The game gets DVRed for later review at my house tonight, but to anyone watching in real time, enjoy.

He's huge
And that’s why I don’t see the point in trying to trade him. If he can get reasonably healthy and get back to 15-17 ppg on good efficiency then you have a hugely valuable player, and he’s shown he’s fine with staying in MKE long-term.
The Bucks can rest assured that Boges will remain loyal to MIL for his whole career if they want him.
He will never be one of these pansies who has to team up with other pansies to try and guarantee a championship. He will only leave MIL if he is traded IMO.

Don't you think he might snap at some point?
If we keep losing I wouldn’t be totally shocked if he wanted out a couple years from now. It definitely seemed like he was a bit annoyed about fans giving up on the team late in the season…some snarky comments here and there.
I am an optimist eternal :)
I don’t think he will snap. He won’t leave just because he gets annoyed from time to time. Everyone gets annoyed at their workplace from time to time, they don’t all leave on a whim (well, ok, there are more and more of them these days – Gen Y’s mostly…no offence Jacob!).

Gooden needs to play
We need to see what we have with him. Sanders would foul out by halftime. Brockman, no comment.
by toasterrebound on Apr 9, 2011 6:40 PM CDT up reply actions
Well, yes and no
I mean, I’d be interested in seeing how he meshes with Bogut, but now that he’s shut down I think it’s better to let Sanders learn on the job. Besides, I feel like Gooden is what he is at this point. I wouldn’t bench him entirely, but I wouldn’t do it at the expense of Sanders.

Because he has triple-double potential, natch
I never use a big word when a diminutive word would suffice.
And with the injury, it would be dumb to trade him now.
The fundamental principle of investment is buy low, sell high. Selling on Bogut after getting him through his rehab year would be selling at his low point. Even if his offense never comes completely back, he brings elite rebounding, shot blocking, charge taking, and general defensive impact. He is a top-5 player on defense, and defensive skill is undervalued in a league that promotes scoring talent, so I would never trade him because no fair deal would ever come along.

After a season like this...
Trading anyone would mean selling low. The Bucks will not get a good value trading individual players, their best bet is trading quantity for quality. A two for one or three for two deal to use the team’s depth to get better players.

Hmm what’s the feeling about trading for one of the rookie centres like Semih Urden or Mozgov to back up bogut? Big guys, considerable potential – cheap as rookie contracts etc or minor trades…

I am always skeptical of Wilt's stats...
Wasn’t he like half a foot bigger than all of his contemporaries?
Yeah, it was definitely a different game
He was an absolute freak of nature athletically, especially in his time. You just didn’t have the big, 260-pound types like you do now. I’d be fascinated to see footage of his 20-20-20 game.
Or is 100 point game

Can I just say that although its postmortem time for the Bucks...
how freaking good was it to see them nail the Heat on the weekend. That was almost worth missing the playoffs.
And how bone-headed a shot choice was LBJ’s 25+ foot three pointer towards the end that clanged off the iron.
Ok just had to get that out.
You make it sound like BJ doesn't make at least one bone-headed play a quarter...

True,
But then, BJ isn’t the alleged greatest player ever and didn’t try and jack up a hail mary three pointer with 15seconds on the clock when down by 5 or 6 with over a minute to go when pushing for the second seed in the conference.
LeBron was right – we are all a witness…still trying to decide to what…
I have to aplogise...

Minny much more serious about the 1st pick than Cleveland apparently
I’m very curious to see what happens if they get the 1st pick…
Draft Irving, force Rubio to get over to America and trot out a 5 guard lineup
Small ball to the highest degree.
I think it’d be kind of funny if Kahn stockpiled enough draft picks that he eventually made a contender and was hailed as a great GM…

Frank, I have a general question.
This has been bothering me for quite a while, but I can’t figure out where you guys get the efficiency and pace figures you post for the game preview threads. They don’t match with what I pick up on hoopdata.com, so I assume they come from a site that doesn’t have to use approximations in their formula…like Synergy. Is this where the discrepancy is rooted?
