		<description><![CDATA[[...] [Jeremy Schmidt - Bucksketball] Nick Young for one was shredding the Bucks. The same Nick Young whose game I was so critical of Wednesday morning. The Nick Young who does nothing but score. Well, he again did little but score (he did chip in five rebounds) but he scored a whole bunch. Young poured in 21 points on 7-12 shooting. Toss in his 7-7 performance from the free throw line and he joins Vince Carter, John Salmons and Thabo Sefolohsa as the latest shooting guard to score with great efficiency.

		<description><![CDATA[I was actually at this game, considering I recently moved to DC, unfortunately the Bucks lost the one game I get to see (2 if I wait til March). 

From my perspective these were a few major problems:

Ersan&#039;s foul trouble contributing to the Bucks being a non-factor on the boards.  As you watch most of the shots go up, you notice no Bucks jerseys on the offensive end.  Warrick&#039;s 4 rebs in 32 minutes and Bogut&#039;s 7 in 39 minutes.  Ersan played 14 minutes and had 5 rebs.  Ersan has been finding to crash the offensive glass tough and be in the right spots down low, that Warrick is just not contributing while in for Ersan.  

Skiles ejection.  From what we&#039;ve seen so far this season, Skiles would not have settled for the lack of effort/ability from some of the guys last night and would have rotated the bench more.  Bogut is coming off an injury and may be expected to have an off night, but you can&#039;t afford to just play him if he&#039;s unproductive.  Redd certainly didn&#039;t get that shot in his return.  Bogut had a terrible night, 4-14 shooting in the paint? 8 pts, 7 rebs, 3 blks, 39 minutes and it looked worse than that.  He mishandled so many passes down low that it was upsetting.  

Jennings struggles recently look self inflicted.  He&#039;s looking to pass first far to frequently, which can be good in a point guard SOMETIMES.  Arenas looked way to slow to guard Jennings and Boykins was just too small.  Jennings kept himself in check by shooting long jumpers all night and passing the ball away.  The biggest offensive match-up advantage for the Bucks was Jennings guarded by either PG.  Truthfully, Jennings on Boykins was the best match-up for the Bucks defensively too, right up until the fourth quarter when Boykins and Haywood found a big hole in our Pick and Roll defense and kept going to it.  Jennings was giving Boykins problems all night until that little 5 minute stretch.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ilyasova got into some foul trouble in the third, so it was hard to go back to him once Warrick started scoring so well.  It would have been nice to have him out there for the sake of rebounds and defense though.  Right before he got bounced he grabbed offensive rebounds on consecutive possessions.  I thought he should have got a look at least at the three spot.  Then he and Warrick could both have been out there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[how about Ily? He started great, he was even the best one on the floor in first 8 mins. But the coach (not Skiles) decided &quot;not&quot; to keep it on the floor. He is better than Hakim and Im not just talking about offense here; effectiveness, toughness and competitiveness. When he sit too much, he got &quot;cold&quot; . I bet fouls happened cause he lost the concentration ... then game lost ... too sad :/ I like to hear your thought on this, though.]]></description>
