@  jorgeaam : (06 February 2015 - 03:09 AM) Well, surprising new of the day is that Harden is going to participate in the 3 point contest.
@  YaoMan : (05 February 2015 - 09:26 PM) I like Ludicrous too - he's a good addition to the Fast & Furious franchise... ;)

@  thejohnnygold : (05 February 2015 - 05:24 PM) I've always been a fan of "ludicrous" for some reason....
@  Mario Peña : (05 February 2015 - 03:55 PM) Calm down Rick this is unnecessary and like what you mentioned in the previous comment is inflammatory. Let it go, that's my friendly advice.
@  rocketrick : (05 February 2015 - 12:53 PM) Just wondering, is censorship really that necessary on this site?
@  rocketrick : (05 February 2015 - 12:52 PM) Except I simply used the word "ridiculous" and Dad, or Grandpa, JG, gave me a warning about this time a month ago.
@  cointurtlemoose : (05 February 2015 - 04:09 AM) Catharsis!
@  Mario Peña : (03 February 2015 - 10:08 PM) Nice one jorgeaam
@  jorgeaam : (03 February 2015 - 09:56 PM) Time to check all of my past posts
@  thejohnnygold : (03 February 2015 - 09:35 PM) Been doing this for a while...try to use a different, somewhat ridiculous one each time.
@  Losthief : (03 February 2015 - 09:24 PM) im not upset at the change...i get that and noted...i was just curious about the choice of term to replace it with thats all.
@  Mario Peña : (03 February 2015 - 05:25 PM) Good job dad!
@  thejohnnygold : (03 February 2015 - 05:23 PM) That would be me. If you cuss in your posts I will change them to something more....appropriate :)
@  Mario Peña : (03 February 2015 - 03:48 AM) Watt?
@  Losthief : (03 February 2015 - 02:25 AM) also...gee-golly willikers??? is that the auto-correct or is some moderator got some early 1900s in him/her.
@  Mario Peña : (02 February 2015 - 01:59 AM) Agreed, those are some horrible games. Were they on ABC or ESPN?
@  SadLakerFan : (01 February 2015 - 05:19 PM) who would have thought: Heat-Celtics and Lakers-Knicks and no one cares.
@  Cooper : (01 February 2015 - 06:18 AM) can't be giving up 28 to Kcp and augstin even if its the second game of the same day.

After beating the Bulls at their own game on Wednesday night with suffocating defense the Rockets welcome the team 90 miles North of Chicago to the Toyota Center.  I am as excited for this Bucks game as I was the Bulls game, but for different reasons.

 

The Bucks have amassed a collection of young talent that makes Sam Hinkie weak in the knees.  Jason Kidd is playing Dr. Moreau and the Bucks are 27-22.  Check out what he has done with Giannis Antetokounmpo so far this season.

 

 

I have heard that he has even spent time at PG, but this chart does not reflect that.

 

In addition to the Greek Freak, the Bucks sport some serious young talent.  My two favorites are Brandon Knight and Khris Middleton.  Middleton caught my eye last season and has improved himself into a potentially elite 3&D role player.  He is shooting 44% from deep and can defend multiple positions.  

 

Brandon Knight is caught in the middle of a major fan debate.  Some see him as the future PG of the franchise and others feel he lacks innate PG play-making abilities and is not fit to receive the high dollar contract many believe he will receive after this season.  Like Middleton, he is 23 years old, and is killing it from deep shooting 41% for the season.

 

Larry Sanders is out with another episode of being Larry Sanders.  The Bucks front court has gotten so thin Jason Kidd had to "phone a friend" and get Kenyon Martin back in the fold.  He can still play some decent defense and I am excited to see him and Josh Smith play down low.

 

After the effort put into Wednesday's game, I expect the Rockets may come out flat against this Buck's team and will have to turn it on in the second half to secure the win.  I do expect a win and I think D-Mo goes off for roughly 20 & 10 against the Bucks front line.

 

Once again, let's hear everyone else's thoughts, feelings, predictions, etc. leading up to the 7 pm tip off on Friday night.

    I can see this as kind of a "trap" game too - I hope they don't take them very lightly at all. Have to close out on their back court shooters and make them take long 2s like the Rox did vs. Chicago.

    Do you think Battier has close connections to the Rox still? He didn't stutter in the slightest in stating that James Harden is the leading MVP right now during last night's ESPN broadcast. On that same note Curry did drop 51 vs Dallas and notched a win in a game they were down 20 at the beginning...
