Michael Redd has been trying to carry the Bucks on his back so far this season. Redd is averaging 31.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game so far this season. Redd has been shooting the ball great from all over the court. Redd has hit 50.3% from the floor, 43.5% on 3-pointers, and 88.4% on free-throws so far this season.

Redd almost willed his team to victory against the Utah Jazz the other night when he scored 57 points. He’s one of the best players in the NBA.

Charlie Villanueva will miss 4-6 weeks after tearing a ligment in his left elbow. The injury occurred against the Atlanta Hawks when Josh Childress fouled him hard. This is a huge loss for the Bucks. Villanueva has averaged 14.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists per game so far this season. Charlie was also hitting 49.5% of his FGs.

Look for Brian Skinner & Ersan Ilyasova will split Villanueva’s minutes until he returns.

The Bucks didn’t play any defense last night as the Nets hit 55.2% of their shots and out-rebounded the Bucks 45-30…and it’s virtually impossible to win when you do that.Â

Mo Williams had a good game with 26 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. Michael Redd had his usual game with 25 points. Ruben Patterson had a decent game with 15 points & 5 rebounds.

The Bucks need to bring a better effort on the boards and on defense if they want to be a winning team in this league. The Bucks now sit at 3-6 on the season.

The Bucks were lights out from the floor last night as they hit 50.7% of their shots. Michael Redd led the way with 30 points & 7 rebounds. Ruben Patterson pitched in with 16 points and 5 rebounds. Patterson also stole the ball from Joe Johnson on a fast break to seal the victory for the Bucks. Maurice Williams did a fine job leading the offense with 15 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. Andrew Bogut had a solid game at center, scoring 13 points & grabbing 8 rebounds.  One bad point about the game was the strained elbow that knocked Charlie Villanueva from the game after he scored 12 points in his 15 minutes of action.

The Bucks won despite getting out-rebounded 45-33. This was a huge road win that improved their record to 3-5 on the season.

The Bucks could have won this game if they played defense at any point in this basketball game. The Bucks allowed the Jazz to make 53.8% of their shots from the floor. The Bucks also got out-rebounded 44-29 which contributed heavily to the loss. The Bucks closed with a rush, out-scoring the Jazz 42-27 in the 4th quarter but it wasn’t enough to win.

Michael Redd had a fantastic night with 57 points and 3 steals. He played hard the whole game and some of the other players needed to do that. Ruben Patterson scored 18 points. Andrew Bogut filled up the boxscore with 9 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Charlie Bell pitched in with 11 points off the bench.

The Bucks need to player better defense and rebound better or they will lose alot of track meets like tonight. The Bucks are now 2-5 on the season.
