The Bucks outran the Spurs last night as they shot 51.8% from the floor, but, they didn’t play any D as the Spurs shot 60% from the floor.  Stephen Jackson led the way for the Bucks in this game with 34 points, 1 rebound and 8 assists.  Carlos Delfino (18 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist) and Brandon Jennings (15 points, 1 rebound, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot) also had outstanding games for the Bucks last night.  Andrew Bogut (14 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) and Jon Leuer (10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) also filled up the stat sheet for the Bucks last night.  The Bucks are now 3-6 on the year.

The Milwaukee Bucks are going to be without 31-year old small forward Mike Dunleavy for the next two weeks due to a groin injury.  Dunleavy has played in 3 games (all starts) for the Bucks so far this year and he is averaging 30.3 minutes, 10.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steal per game.  But, he’s only shooting a woeful 32% from the floor so far this year.  The Bucks will turn to 29-year old Carlos Delfino at small forward for the next couple of weeks.  Delfino has now played in 6 games (5 starts) for the Bucks so far this year and he is averaging 27.7 minutes, 8.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game.  Delfino should be able to replace Dunleavy’s production pretty easily.

The Bucks were down 91-66 after three quarters last night before showing signs of life in the 4th quarter.  The Bucks didn’t play any D in this game as the Suns shot 55.8% from the floor.  Tobias Harris led the way for the Bucks in this game with 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in 23 minutes on the floor.  Shaun Livingston (12 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals), Ersan Ilyasova (11 points, 8 rebounds and 1 steal) and Jon Leuer (11 points and 6 rebounds) also pitched in last night for the Bucks.  The Bucks are now 2-6 on the year.

The Bucks only shot 36.3% from the floor and it did them in last night.  Brandon Jennings (21 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals) and Drew Gooden (18 points, 13 rebounds and 1 steal) led the way for the Bucks in this game.  Stephen Jackson pitched in with 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in this game.  The Bucks are now 2-5 on the year.

22-year old point guard Brandon Jennings shoots quite a bit.  The problem with that is Jennings is not and has never been, a good shooter.  Jennings has played in 6 games (all starts) for the Bucks so far this year and he is averaging 38.7 minutes, 19.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game.  Those are solid numbers, but Jennings is only shooting 40.7% from the floor and a woeful 28.9% (11 of 38) from three point range.  The Bucks need to covince Jennings to shoot less and pass more….which is generally what point guards are supposed to do.

The Bucks shot 51.3% from the floor last night but they were outrebounded 55-31 and that killed them in this game.  The Bucks were up 58-37 at the half and still lost this game!  That is amazing!  Brandon Jennings led the way for the Bucks last night with 31 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals.  Drew Gooden had another solid start in the place of Andrew Bogut as he finished up with 18 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.  Stephen Jackson pitched in with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 blocked  shot.  The Bucks are now 2-4 on the season.

The Bucks were undermanned due to injuries last night and it really showed as they only shot 30.5% from the floor.  Drew Gooden led the way for the Bucks last night with 24 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot in 36 minutes on the floor.  Stephen Jackson had a solid game too with 16 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.  Shaun Livingston pitched in with 9 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal off the bench.  The Bucks are now 2-3 on the year.

The Bucks were outscored 23-12 in the 4th quarter and that did them in last night in Denver.  Stephen Jackson led the way for the Bucks last night with 17 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.  Carlos Delfino (14 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocked shots) and Andrew Bogut (12 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocked shots) also pitched in with solid games for the Bucks last night.  Brandon Jennings only shot 5 of 16 from the floor, but he still finished up with 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in this game.  The Bucks are now 2-2 on the year.

The Bucks destroyed the Wizards last night as they raced to a 65-41 lead at the half and they never looked back.  The Bucks shot 53.4% from the floor as the offense was purring last night.  They also outrebounded the Wizards 50-35 and they held them to 35.3% shooting from the floor, which helps explain the ease of the victory.  Brandon Jennings led the way for the Bucks last night with 22 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 blocked shot.  Ersan Ilyasova (16 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal), Carlos Delfino (15 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal) and Andrew Bogut (13 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocked shots) also had solid games for the Bucks last night.  Mike Dunleavy pitched in with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in this game.  The Bucks are now 2-1 on the year.

The biggest key to the success or lack of, will be the health of 27-year old center Andrew Bogut.  He is the one player the Bucks couldn’t replace as he is a force in the paint.  He has played in 2 games (both starts) so far this year for the Bucks and he is averaging 34.0 minutes, 16.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game.  The Bucks really hope that Bogut can stay in one piece this year, but that hasn’t been the norm for him.  Most of his injuries have been of the serious nature,  so it’s hard to call him injury prone.
