Thanksgiving
First off, everybody have a happy Thanksgiving.  Enjoy the football games, if you are at a place that you are not allowed to watch them, fake an illness and go home.  There is no excuse whatsoever for people to not be allowed to watch football on Thanksgiving.  If you are going someplace you know the game will be turned off, delay the trip until after the first game, get there early in the second game, then leave at the half.  Be a pain.  If the hosts that do not allow you to watch the games can be a pain in [...]

The Bucks lost a tough one last night.  I am not sure what was tougher, the loss on Dirk’s bounce all over the rim, backboard, shot clock, rafter, shot at the buzzer or listening to the Mavs announcers all game.  The game was only available on NBA TV so we were subjected to the Mavs hometown tv crew, it got really old after a few minutes.
Nobody expects the Bucks to be great and win all 41 home games so a loss here and there is fine.  What I loved about this loss was the fact the Bucks fought back.  When [...]

I know it is way too early to make the comparison, but you have to excuse us Bucks fans since we have had so very little to cheer about since the Bucks lost in the Finals to the Sixers in 2001.  Then, DICKHEAD(George Karl) dismantled the team, then took off. 
Karl
What an asshole, I hate the fact he gets propped up on ESPN or by any other media outlet for being such a great coach.  He left the Sonics a mess, left the Bucks a mess, and will leave Denver a mess.  Just wait, if he gets his way he will find [...]

Tonight should be a true test for the Bucks #1 ranked defense.  The Bucks have not played an offense near the level of the Nuggets so it will be interesting if the Bucks can hold Denver under 100.  Denver is ranked fourth in scoring with plenty of depth and talent. 
Another Rookie PG
We will also get to see Ty Lawson, who is now rated #1 on ESPN’s rookie board.  I think the rating is crap since it had Jennings #1 last week, 4th this week.  It gave a boost to Flynn and Evans for garbage time points.  Jennings is doing more [...]

The Bucks pulled out two wins over the weekend over Minnesota and New York.  In doing so the Bucks are quickly becoming the most interesting and liked sports team in Wisconsin.  The Packers are creating football depression all across Wisconsin with the loss to the winless Bucs on the heels of the season sweep versus the Vikings.  Thank god for the Bucks!
I was able to watch the Minnesota game and I owe an apology to Luke Ridnour.  I was hard on him after the Chicago game, but Luke came through in this game.  He hit several shots and proved himself [...]

Tonight should be another fun game to watch for fans of both the Wolves and Bucks as both teams rookie point guards will square off for the first time.  I like Flynn, but I like Jennings more.  Flynn went to college for two years, and although he was a very good college player, I never found him to be dominant.  I would have liked to see more from Flynn in their tourney loss to Oklahoma, but it is possible Flynn was injured during the game on a failed dunk.
I always get nervous of any of these college guys that did [...]

My picks continue to be horrid, although I did go 1-1 last night and the loss was Cleveland covering the 11.5 spread…. by a 1/2 point.  Another great reason to not actually bet NBA regular season games beyond just betting the money line.  I am 5-10.
Miami
Washington -2
 
Phoenix
Orlando  -8
 
Atlanta -5.5

Bucks-Bulls
Tonight will likely be a tough game for the Bucks tonight.  They have lost 8 of 10 at Chicago and the Bulls are probably a little ornery after a losses to the Celtics and Heat.  A loss is okay, what I hope to see is Brandon Jennings hold up against Derrick Rose.  
A question that will always surround Jennings is how will he hold up against physical guards.  What better guage than going up against the youngest, most physical young point guard in the league.  I will not take too much out of tonight’s game  for the Bucks as a team other [...]

I am glad it is over, the whole Favre-Packer mess should at least quite down now for the rest of the year.  That is really all I have to say at this point regarding the Packers unless something changes philosophically in the way they are coached.  Penalties, bad special teams, too many sacks, this season really does feel like the movie Groundhog Day.  
I was at the game yesterday and was not far from considering leaving when it was 24-3.  In fact, we agreed to see what they can  do one last time with the ball.  And again, the Packers teased [...]

Warriors
DirectTv is offering free NBA League Pass for the first week of the season, it gives fans like me a chance to watch some other teams around the league that I rarely get to see.  I know Lebron is a great player, and because of him the Cavs are a playoff team, but my god are they boring to watch.  It is just Lebron, in a 1-4 set, he drives into the lane and he gets fouled, kicks it out for a three, or shoots.  They are so painful to watch and they are on TV more than any [...]
