As I write this, the first quarter is coming to a close in Orlando and the Bucks are up three, 26-23; Andrew Bogut (8 pts) has Dwight Howard in foul trouble (2 fouls in five minutes); and Charlie Bell continues his dead-on shooting of late with 8 pts of his own. The Bucks are playing so well with Bell on the court these days that even Shaner over at Take Back our Bucks gave Charlie some props after the win in Miami last night.
D-Wade was so relieved to be done for now with Charlie and his nasty defense that Wade was actually heard muttering to teammates that he was "glad to be going to Boston and Cleveland" (where the Heat play their next two games).
Me, I'm headed to BobBoozerJinx.com where the Pabst is so dam cold I have to use beer warmers. The new site is still under construction but we are working hard (you don't have to believe me) to get it together by the end of this week.
In the meantime, let's enjoy this Scott Skiles Bucks team. The Bucks are playing their best basketball since Gary Payton and Sam Cassell were the starters at guard. That was seven years ago, though it seems longer.
It occurs to me that if you're reading this now, you're obviously not watching the Bucks. What the #$#% is the matter with you? And me too. Bucks down six heading to the 2-minute mark in the first half, Vince Carter getting it going.
Enjoy the game!
