I think the hard part of their schedule starts now though. Still plenty of time for them tor un out of steam. Same goes with the Warriors.
I hope he does ask for a trade. Getting away from Michael Redd would be the best thing in his career so far.Clapo said:
The Bucks had planned to build a side around him. But, haven't attracted the players to the franchise. Would be disapointing to see him go, but he is developing into a very good player. Would rather see Redd traded than Bogut.
i think both teams will get into the playoffs though...the nuggets will be the biggest loser if that happens...it's sad that a team with camby, anthony, iverson, martin, najera, smith, kleiza etc is in this position...maybe they will work on their defense after the regular season(camby and najera being honorable exceptions) and come back a better team...
As a Sixers fan, I've become a Nuggets fan by proxy since the trade and it's such a frustrating situation. They have the raw talent to be a contender but George Karl has ****ed them up so badly. I was hoping AI would get himself a ring before he retires but it doesn't look like it's happening. Sack George Karl please.
it is strange that karl being such a good friend of larry brown wouldn't imbibe some of the defense-oriented mentality of brown over time...especially when the approach has been shown to be so successful...they are making some half-hearted efforts this season to be better on defense but with the west being so deep this year, it just hasn't been enough...they might still make the top 8 with a late push but even if that happens, i don't see them worrying a lot of the real contenders over a 7 game playoff series...
yeah looks like the suns have figured out how to play with shaq, but dallas is in trouble now...they are still a good team, but they don't really look like a contender right now and you are right, if they don't get it working pretty soon, as unlikely as it sounds they could lose out in the playoff race...The other potential team to free fall are Dallas. just 3.5 games ahead of Denver. After the Jason Kidd trade they've gone 0-7 against teams over .500 and their run in sees them fplay 10 out of 13 teams with winning records. I could just imagine Mark Cuban's face if it all blows up now after mortgaging the future (Devin Harris plus picks) to get Jason Kidd.
Looking at the Box Scores in that game it looks like he fought a one man battle on the glass against Zigyy and Varejao. Very impressive, but you guys are really waiting for the draft.
Made the playoffs in his first season when he was PF. Can't remember who the centre was that season, but the bucks wanted to build the team around Bogut so they gave him the starting centre spot the next season.
it's usually during the 1st round series...the only upset so far has been the 76ers beating detroit, although i am always happy to see the pistons lose, i am afraid they are still going to win the series...
