Andrew Bogut is expected back in the Bucks' starting lineup for Milwaukee's MLK Day matinee with the Sixers in Philadelphia.
Inline Sixers. Who says you need a superstar to win big? While it's still early, the Sixers have been the feel-good story of the NBA season to date, storming to an Atlantic Division-leading 9-3 record and the league's best efficiency differential despite lacking an obvious offensive superstar. After finishing 7th defensively and 17th offensively a year ago, Doug Collins' squad enters Monday's game an impressive 1st and 4th, respectively. In other words, they're not just squeaking by opponents--they're crushing them. Philly enters Monday's game having won eight of nine, with the last two coming in a home-and-home sweep of the Wizards in which they outscored Flip Saunders' sorry bunch by a combined 44 points. They haven't had the roughest schedule--the current streak includes home games against Detroit, Toronto and Sacramento in addition to road games in New Orleans and Oakland--but they're simply taking care of business.
Four factor fun. Philly's success has come thanks to a stifling, athletic group of perimeter defenders and a young, balanced offensive attack featuring seven double-figure scorers. The offense is led by perennial Buck-killer (and sixth man) Lou Williams (16.1 ppg on 56.6% true shooting), with Andre Iguodala and Jrue Holiday leading the starters with a modest 14.3 ppg each. Thad Young is once again the other bench star for Philadelphia, adding 12.4 ppg on 55.6% true shooting. Glance at the stat sheet and you probably wouldn't figure Philly for an offensive juggernaut, but they quietly rank third in eFG% and have the lowest turnover rate in the league, offsetting mediocre marks in drawing fouls (22nd in free throw rate) and offensive rebounding (27th). Simple as it sounds, the stout Sixer defense has been built on forcing misses: they rank 1st in eFG% allowed and sixth in opponent free throw rate, but are middle of the pack in both forcing turnovers and defensive rebounding.
In defense of the Bucks. Scott Skiles will be hoping that Bogut's return will help tighten up a porous Buck defense. Milwaukee ranks third in forcing turnovers but 21st or worst in eFG% allowed (21st), free throw rate allowed (27th) and defensive rebound rate (26th)--somewhat understandable when you consider that Bogut has been in and out of the lineup and Luc Mbah a Moute has missed all but one game.
Pace is the Trick. Both teams have increased their tempo this season, which helps explain how the Bucks have improved from the worst fast-break team in the league last season (10.0 ppg) to middle of the pack this year (12.7 ppg, 13th). Philadelphia is not surprisingly even better at 18.2 ppg (4th).
Above the Rim. The Sixers lead the league in finishing at the rim (72%), though they're just 26th in total attempts around the hoop. Meanwhile the Bucks have improved from dead last a year ago to 15th currently (65.5%), and they're virtually even with Philly in points scored at the rim per game due to their higher number of attempts (14.2/21.6 vs. 14.3/19.8).
Brandon's Shot. Brandon Jennings' shooting percentage might be the most obsessed-over individual stat in Milwaukee, and so far, so decent. Jennings enters Monday's contest with a downright healthy shooting line of .443/.357/.811, compared to .384/.352/.813 in his first two seasons. Some good trends: he's made 15/29 from distance over the past six games and 7/9 in his last three. He's also made at least half his shots in six of 11 games so far this season including three straight. The biggest factors in Jennings' improvement has been better and more frequent finishing at the rim (60% of 4.5 fga this year vs. 51.4% of 4.0 attempts last year) as well as his more respectable performance from deep. That said, he'd be even better if he got to the line more regularly--through 11 games his free throw rate is actually down slightly from last season.
Jennings will face a major challenge keeping up those numbers against Philly, which has the aforementioned top-ranked defense and an excellent defensive PG in Jrue Holiday. Both Jennings and Holiday struggled in the two teams' matchups last year: Jennings shot just 30% in three games against Philly, while Holiday was more accurate (40.5%) but averaged 4.3 turnovers in four games against the Bucks. So far the 21-year-old Holiday's numbers haven't shown any improvement in his third season, but something tells me that will change. Meanwhile, Bucks' backup PG Beno Udrih practiced on Sunday and could play as well.

I don’t even know what to root for this game… my brain says root to lose because we don’t have much talent… but i still want them to win as I have this seemingly false hope that they will turn it around and play good basketball
I'm still in "tank" mode until they rip off an 8 - 2 streak....
For yrs I’ve supported and wished for .500 seasons from the Bucks [hey, atleast i’m a realist] but I’m kinda at the end of my rope….
However, I think a few shrewd moves could make this roster much better – and a possible “dangerous” team to see in the POs… but as it stands, I see a return trip to NBA hell…
So I’m rooting for tank mode, because I see them rebuilding more than retooling.
Maybe now they'l start winning-
now that the Packers are done…

Some pretty disappointing exists by Wisco teams this eyar
Badgers, Packers and Brewers all ended with a thud, eh? At least the Bucks aren’t burdened with any real expectations…yay!

Disappointing exits keep us humble
Speaking of myself, before the sad trifecta, I’d planned to fully dispense with humility. Had a special deal all lined up for two years of combined arrogance and insufferability. But the special offer has been withdrawn. I asked them to rethink the cancellation. They said, “WTF! You’re from wimpy Wisconsin. Get real!” Guess it’s “business as usual” for unklchuk until further notice.
Shucks, I think I would have been good at being insufferable.
Just saw that Memphis is supposedly shopping OJ Mayo. Again.
And the offers for him were pretty ridiculous, IMO. [Anthony Morrow straight up from NJ, and Jordan Farmer, a pick and cash from LAL]
Regardless, they seem to almost be willing to give him away.
I would LOVE the Bucks to deal for him, considering how little they might have to give up for him – and then move Jax to SF….
I honestly think adding a scoring SG [jax to SF] would really change the fortunes of this team, as currently constructed…
I'd be happy to get Mayo
Market seems pretty soft for him; wish the Bucks had made a stronger play for him or Henry before they made the Speights trade.
Unclear to me if he’s a starter in the NBA but we’re lacking in real twos who can shoot the ball.
by Frank Madden on Jan 16, 2012 10:10 AM CST up reply actions
From 08 - 2010, he avg 38 mpg, 18 ppg, 44%fg, 38% on threes...
Sounds to me like he’s EXACTLY what the Bucks need.
I dunno why his mpg has dropped so much [ive never heard that he’s a bad teammate or anything like that]
I REALLY think the Bucks need a scoring SG and to move Jax to SF if they want a shot at being relevant this yr…
Knicks fan who loves the Bucks this year.
real fun roster on these here bucks.
I’ve got Drew Gooden and Jon Leuer available in fantasy. I keep playing the wrong one when the other one has a big game. Do any of you buckbros know what the deal is with the rotation in regards to those two, or are you as baffled as I am?
@FatmansAlright
Sonic The Hedgehog and Pro Ball. Nothing else.
Gooden gets time when Bogut is unavailable
He can see a few minutes otherwise but looks so out of place that Skiles benches him soon
Leuer has earned a starting spot, and in most games so far has earned plenty of minutes – but Skiles probably doesn’t expect the rookie to fly that high without losing some altitude and having to learn
If Skiles sees rookie shortcomings, Leuer’s minutes may be more erratic going forward than they have been
IOW, who knows…?
it's game time Bucks!

Yes, radio
Used to listen to him regularly. Can’t now. The local station designated as the Bucks station avoids most games. And their sound is 5-to-10 seconds ahead of the TV action. That doesn’t work.

Bucks guards need to do a better job of running their man into the high screen
80% of the time they try to set that high ball screen the defender doesn’t even get clipped meanwhile on the other end the Bucks guys run right into the pick or go under it…

Sometimes I wish Delfino would just say F it and take 20 shots every night
at least his jumpers all look like they should go in unlike Ilysova and Goodens
Skiles is trying to ruin his early confidence and success by jacking him in and out of the lineup
like he did in the last game and now today
When will he learn what the rest of us know?
Leuer > Gooden + Ersan
Sixers teamwork and Igouodala long distanche shot
is shadowing a decent Buck’s game, carried by Bogut

I don't like my team
Don’t like their defense. Don’t like their host of marginal players. Don’t like their lack of alertness, anticipation, and perhaps smarts. Don’t like their Udrih. Think I still like Skiles, but don’t like his moody substitution choices.
Trade Bogut for Horford. Trade Jackson for something. Trade other vets for assets. Reshuffle this deck. The “hand” they have now ain’t good. And it ain’t fun. A basketball team should be naturally good at basketball skills. We haven’t assembled good skills. We’ve assembled something else that management thinks is a solution. To date, it hasn’t been…

if your going to lose anyways be more fun to lose with young athletic roster than an overpaid middling one.
Jennings always seems to do poorly in games against people we could have picked instead of him

Didn't see the haymaker
Could if I wanted to pull it out of the DVR tape. Don’t. If that haymaker had failed, they’d just roll out another, or another, etc. And the Bucks would have waited for one to work and surrendered.
The Sixers used about 65% of their game to give the Bucks virtually no chance to win. It was casual domination.
Losses aren’t depressing if one can see the home team working on stuff that can gradually be developed. I didn’t see that.
tough loss
but to be fair, the Sixers are really good. Have a nice afternoon!

Our defense is good in that we protect the paint, but it seems to force the opposition into higher point potential shots
Do we not defend the three well? I feel like we overcommit on drives and a man is often open outside. I wonder how much is influenced by the Bucks lack of a consistent three point threat.
OJ Mayo, anyone?
Please, Hammond – get a scorer!
If Jax and/or BJ aren’t having good offensive games, this team just looks doomed…
I dunno if Jax's past actions in Indy qualify him as a "good citizen"
The NBA [and all of pro sports] has plenty of guys w/ borderline character “issues” – but as long as they can play, they’ll have a job…
Plus, I’m not aware that Mayo has any baggage – at least that I know of.
10 game suspension for violating NBAs anti-drug policy last year
is about it.
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
Bogut just said
“If we can’t keep guys in front of us, we won’t have a chance to win many games.”
That was a follow-up to (I think) his being asked if he saw anything positive in the loss. His answer was “No.”
Honest and I’d say, spot on.
Bogut, Harris and Leuer were the only bright spots IMO
And Leuer seemed to get half his points in the last minute when the game already over.
by Frank Madden on Jan 16, 2012 3:56 PM CST up reply actions
Even when Lou Williams is bad, he still burns the Bucks.
FML.
So were the Bucks just not defending/rotating out on the 3pt line or were the Sixers just making tough shots under pressure?
Hi guys. Sixers fan here.
Good game. I seriously believe the Bucks are a good team. The Cavs are smokes and mirrors.. so don’t be surprise when you guys pass them.
I think everyone should be bilateral coordinated.
