Great game for the first 30, last 10 were bogged down by the refs. Still, a very good learning game for the Bucks. Much respect for the Dolphins (:slappy:) for getting after it all game. They kept their feet moving, and made the Bucks stay on their toes throughout. Eventually, lack of depth and size caught up with them, but they are a good team. I hope they win their conference and go to the show, they could surprise some teams. In the last 10 mins, J'ville started to collapse on the ball carrier, which prevented the Bucks from moving the ball around. There also seemed to be less movement offensively, hopefully they learned a lesson from that.

Apart from the ticky-tack foul fest of the second half, this was one of the best offensive showings I've seen from the Bucks in quite awhile (maybe since Je'kel Foster's senior year). When they were clicking, they showed an awareness of where everyone was on the court that I hadn't seen before. I like how this team seems to be building on every game (I didn't see Butler). As I've said before, if we can get consistency from a couple core players, and others get hot on a game by game basis, we can hang with most teams. If we can get consistency from 3-4 starters and a sub, we can beat nearly anyone. Diebler had a solid game on both ends. If Lighty can have games like this more often than not, that would be huge. Dallas needs to stay on the floor. Mullens looked very good for a stretch, and I think if he gets used to more minutes, he can be very solid. Good job by Simmons and Crater, both distributing and scoring (Simmons looked good from long). Turner's gonna be our guy who hits a clutch basket-and-1. Everyone had a good game, even though the last 10 was a slugfest. As long as the team keeps growing, this should be a good year.
