The Bucks really shut down the Nets last night and it was the reason for the win.  Carlos Delfino led the way for the Bucks last night with 21 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in 42 minutes.  Andrew Bogut was tough last night too with 17 points, 18 rebounds, 1 assist and 7 blocked shots.  Corey Maggette (14 points), Ersan Ilyasova (14 points) and Keyon Dooling (14 points) each pitched in last night for the Bucks.  The Bucks are now 19-26 on the year.

31-year old small forward Corey Maggette is getting big minutes and he’s making them count lately for the Bucks.  In Maggette’s last five games, he is averaging 32.0 minutes, 17.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game on 50% shooting from the floor.  Maggette has now played in 39 games (8 starts) for the Bucks this year and he is averaging 22.1 minutes, 12.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.  The Bucks were dumb to cut Maggette’s minutes earlier this year as he is one of the best offensive  players on the team.

The Bucks shot 55.3% from the floor last night and they outscored the Raptors 12-6 in O.T. to seal the nice road win.  Corey Maggette led the way for the Bucks last night with 29 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists.  Ersan Ilyasova (25 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 2 blocked shots) and Andrew Bogut (24 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocked shots) also had outstanding games for the Bucks last night.  Carlos Delfino (15 points), Chris Douglas-Roberts (11 points) and Keyon Dooling (10 points) also pitched in for the Bucks last night.  The Bucks are now 18-26 on the year.

The Bucks outscored the Hawks 34-15 in the 4th quarter to surge to a nice home victory last night.  Corey Maggette led the way for the Bucks last night with 22 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot.  Earl Boykins pitched in with 20 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists off the bench.  Carlos Delfino also had a solid game off the bench with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.  The Bucks are ow 17-26 on the year.

The Bucks have signed 24-year old shooting guard Garrett Temple to a 10-day contract.  Temple played in 3 games (0 starts) earlier this year for the Spurs in which he averaged 7.0 minutes, 0.7 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game.  He has now played in 30 games (0 starts) in his first two years in the NBA and he is averaging 11.8 minutes, 4.6 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game.  Temple isn’t shy about putting up shots and the Bucks need help at shooting guard right now, so I like this signing for the Bucks.

The Bucks held the Bulls to 39.5% shooting from the floor but it just wasn’t good enough to win in Chicago last night.  Chris Douglas-Roberts led the way for the Bucks last night with 30 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.  Ersan Ilyasova (17 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot) and Keyon Dooling (13 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal)  also had solid games for the Bucks last night.  Andrew Bogut only shot 4 of 11 from the floor last night but he still finished up with 8 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocked shots.  The Bucks are now 16-26 on the year.

The Bucks only shot 37.8% from the floor and they were outrebounded 49-36 last night which did them in.  Earl Boykins led the way for the Bucks in this game with 23 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 1 blocked shot.  Andrew Bogut filled up the stat sheet with 14 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocked shots last night.  Larry Sanders and Corey Maggette pitched in with 12 points apiece in this game.  The Bucks are now 16-25 on the year.

The Bucks shot 50.6% from the floor while playing solid D in holding the Cavs to 38.2% shooting from the floor, which were big reasons for the relatively easy road win last night.  Andrew Bogut led the way for the Bucks last night with 23 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocked shots on 11 of 14 shooting from the floor.  Corey Maggette (20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists) and Keyon Dooling (12 points, 1 rebound, 11 assists and 1 steal) also had solid games for the Bucks in this game.  The Bucks are now 16-24 on the year.

The Bucks outrebounded the Wizards 43-34 and they outscored them 53-38 in the second half to pull away for the victory.  Keyon Dooling led the way for the Bucks with 23 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists last night.  Corey Maggette got another start at small forward and he responded with 21 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.  Earl Boykins pitched in with 19 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals off the bench.  The Bucks are now 15-24 on the year.

22-year old rookie forward Larry Sanders has made the most of his limited playing time so far this year.  Sanders has played in 26 games (8 starts) for the Bucks this year and he is averaging 14.7 minutes, 4.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.2 assists and 1.4 blocked shots per game.  The one area that Sanders can improve on is his shooting as he has only made 40.7% of his shots from the floor and 56% of his shots from the free throw line.  I think when he starts getting more consistent playing time that his shooting will come around.
