Had some fun with "Bango" before the game.
Let me just start off by saying that I love the Milwaukee Bucks! Now I know that may sound crazy to some of you, but put yourself in their shoes. What do you do when your best player goes down for the season, and another is a constant question mark? Do you know what that can do to a team mentally? Our football team last year had almost the entire coaching staff walk one day at the start of the season and I was beyond devastated. We had to work twice as hard to stay competitive. I’m sure the Bucks team feels the same way right now. So maybe "respect" is the word I'm looking for.
The Bucks came into the game (22-25), Minnesota Timberwolves came in at (15-27), so if I were a betting woman, I would have put my money on Milwaukee!

The game overall was closer than I thought it would be, well, until the 3rd quarter. But there were just a lot of “sloppy” mistakes. Dumb fouls, moving picks, bad passes… It seemed like half the team was almost over-excited to be playing so much in the absence of some key players. Things settled down a bit in the 4th, but now they needed one hell of a comeback to win it.It would take some serious rebounding skills and the ability to finish.
Super-fans of the game! Now that's what I like to see.
Randoms:
-A Bucks player who I will not name game me his phone number before the game…I’m sure he just really wants me to interview him. :)
- I was unaware that some of the players wore padded compression shorts. I thought they were just a football thing, but I could definitely see #24 Jefferson’s through his white shorts.
-One of the Timberwolves players had a big tupper-ware container full of candy and he was sharing it with the media guys, haha. I didn’t get any…
- I love watching the refs warm up before the games. Imagine your dad jumping around trying to “loosen up.” They look like little jumping beans bouncing around next to the players who have at least 1ft on them. Oh, and they made the “kiss-cam!” Thank goodness nothing happened.
