This game is BIG!!! If we win we are 2.5 back. If we lose we are 4.5 back. Just a huge game for us if we want to make the playoffs.
Milwaukee has been playing poorly lately but we can't sleep on them. Redd is capable of taking over a game like Pierce can. We need to stay on him defensively as if we sag off on defense, he will make us pay. They have 2 legit 7 footers who can play in Magloire and Bogut. We need to play smart around the basket and get rebounds by getting position. Gomes should be able to help us there. We just can't take these guys for granted and have to play hard from the opening tip until the final buzzer. This team can burn us from the arc so we need to play good perimeter defense also.
West and Perk are both still out. They went through a light practice today and both hope to come back on Sunday.
Was watching the double OT game from the 87 playoffs today where the Celts beat the Bucks by 1. Incredible game!!!
We need this game. I sure hope they all come to play!!

Ford makes 1 of 2 and Raef rebounds. PP hits a jumper on a good feed from Greene. Bucks turn it over out of bounds. Time out called. Boston 10 and Bucks 9 6:17 left in the first. Our shots aren't falling right now and we are lucky to be up 1. Hopefully we will settle down a bit and start hitting our shots. We can't depend on them missing as much all game either.

Boy, Wally needs to hit his shots. Hope his knee isn't the problem. If so, rest the kid...

Travelling called on Simmons. Wally brings it across midcourt. Wally called for a travel just before he nails a 3 that won't count. Magloire commits an offensive foul that isn't called as he plows Raef over and lays it in. PP goes baseline and misses up and under but is fouled. PP hits the first and Green in for Raef. PP hits the second. PP commits the foul before the shot that won't count. Bucks call time out with Celts up 46-39 and 10 seconds in the half. Bucks inbound. Bucks miss a jumper and Wally rebounds. Score at the half is Boston 46 Milwaukee 39. Not a very pretty game. Exciting play by Green on the put back dunk. Shots aren't falling very well for us. Refs are ignoring charges on the Milwaukee side. Several times it was a clear charge and no call. We are lucky to be up 7 at the half.
