shout out to the bucks

just wanted to give a team that get’s little mention around here some love. Before the season started, they had very few expectations and it was considered that dumping Richard Jefferson was an attempt to clear space (it was) and a sign that maybe they were waiving the white flag for another rebuilding season(it wasn’t). They have spent money on veterans like Jerry Stackhouse, brought in John Salmons and kept Kurt Thomas on the roster instead of buying him out showing that they are still comitted to winning instead of just looking towards the future.

Lots of guys are having terrific seasons. Brandon Jennings is running the show and gives them some swagger. Bogut is emerging as a top 5 center and go to big man. Guys like Ersan Ilysaova, Luc mbah a moute, luke ridnour and others are playing very well. The team defends and is currently at 5th in the east at 36-29. They are gonna be a tough out.

I’ve never been a bucks fan, but it is good to see a team actually bringing in veterans, spending money and playing with emotion and trying to compete. Cheers to Scott Skiles and the bucks this year.
