The Bucks are definitely a flawed team, but this should still be a good test. Their starting back court can put up serious points in a flash, and their starting front court can give us trouble on the boards all night.

Still, I expect the better team to come away with a win at home.

We have a huge size advantage.... Theyre faster.... Lets see what wins out

I like that Larry Sanders guy they have, I'd love to have him on our team actually.

This is why I hate ET at SF. His size/strength advantage often evaporates. Harris is no slouch in the paint....almost like an undersized PF at times. At guard, either ET or Jrue would have at least 1 huge matchup advantage.

[Mandrew]

I agree, Wright should start tonight at SF and ET at SG. I would have to think if it becomes a big problem Doug will make that adjustment early in the game.

Yup. Yup. Yup.
Turner needs to exclusively play two unless we go small.
Harris is tough. He's gonna be a big boy in a few seasons. Plus they have a boatload of oversized 3s, undersized 4s. Not a good look for Evan.

From what I've seen of Doug in the 1st quarter the past year +, you have more confidence than me. The big problem might not be that ET gets beasted too terribly early in the game in this matchup. The big problem might be that we could only have 12 points with 4 minutes left in the 1st quarter.....again.

Either Jrue or JRich should have a size advantage. And JRich will get lots of scoring opps. So if JRich has the early hot hand, we might keep pace with teams early in games. Otherwise, we are hurting ourselves defensively against the better teams in the league and hoping JRich or Jrue have the early hot hand.
It might not be a big issue against the Bucks. I'm just crotchedy.

Great opening play from JRich. Sick hustle.

[sixer04fan]

Game time... Good to see J-Rich back in rhythm with the jumper on the first play.

[bholly]

Ugh, and then ET does that. So ugly.

Really? Stealing my exact thoughts and posting right before me, as usual. Not cool, man.

[sixer04fan]

Ok. A little defense would be nice...

[urban85disciple]

These turnovers are getting ridiculous.

ha! If I remember correctly it's usually the other way around. I have the minute or so delay from league pass broadband, though, so that's my excuse.
