Wow, what a terrific half for the Bucks! Everyone hitting the shots the should. Sully powering up some big shots and only has one foul (which was BS since he looked set to me), Buford looking smooth as always and really starting to find his stroke. Craft hit a couple jumpers which is huge for him. Thomas played really well...love that little floater thats been falling. And I've decided that Smith has Go-Go Gadget legs...dude just gets up on the boards.

All in all, great job...never thought the boys would have this type of lead at half. The key will be to keep up their intensity in the second and not let the Dookies back in this thing. They will make a run, but we need to stay calm and weather the storm.

By the way, Rivers is freaking awesome. His feet are so quick...he gets to the hole in a hurry and finishes really well around the basket. If not for him...this Duke team doesn't seem that good.

Great first half. Only thing I didn't like was early on, when Sully was shooting, we were all kind of standing around watching. I like a little more motion, people coming in for weak side rebonds, etc. Otherwise, it looks great. I hope we keep playing Rivers straight up. I don't care if he gets another 15 as long as we win.

Question: how in the heck can our guys play with LeBron, DWade, Redd, Oden, Conley, Evan Turner, etc... sitting on the sideline?? It would freak me out big time.

In defense of the dookies, I wonder if they are tired from all the traveling they've been doing.

Too bad, right?

I guarantee they'll get this into single digits again but I have confidence in Matta - he will keep our guys together and we will still win by 10 or 12.
