Will Bogut make either the All Defensive team or one of the All NBA teams?

Eau Claire – I’d say Jennings assist numbers would look a little better if Salmons shot a little better from three. He’s hit just 6-18 as a Buck and I know Jennings has hit him with a few passes for open threes he’s missed. That being said, I expected something similar to what you hypothesized, but I didn’t know much about Salmons’ game. Salmons seems to attack after making his own reads a lot, which isn’t really conducive to many assists coming his way. According to HoopData, 0% of his shots at the rim have been assisted, which is insane. In time I’m sure a few more of these will be off assists and he’ll hit a couple more threes which will be off assists, those will boost Jennings’ assist numbers.

lol “buck friendly area.” I live in Eau Claire; a city of nearly 62,000, and I am being very serious when I say that at any given moment I am probably the only person wearing any Bucks gear in town. I’ve had people ask me if the Bucks are still a franchise, it’s like Milwaukee is in a different state.

Anyways, as I am not the most basketball educated person, I was going to ask if adding a guy like Salmons who can score a bit better than Bell would (idealy) lower Jennings’ number of shot attempts and increase his assist numbers? It hasn’t seemed to at least thus far.

For the record I predicted 37 wins

I have a bad feeling that West will have a huge game…. It’s nice to see the Bucks doing well, considering that very poor ratings they had at the beginning of the season by just about everyone. I figured they would be better than predicted, as long as Redd didn’t try to carry the team and take lousy shots all day, guess I should be careful what I wish for. It’s not over yet, like you said, these games are all going to be big. I wish I lived in a more Buck friendly area, nobody here knows about them…yet.
