I'm on my way out of work to the game (Section 104, if you're there), so no long preview. I also apologize for the site going down - the SB Nation servers were having problems this afternoon that I think are fully resolved now.
Four quick points:
- This is the last team you want to face on a back-to-back. Milwaukee makes you work for everything and plays you incredibly physically. They foul a lot, but when the game is on the line, the refs get tired of calling everything and usually swallow their whistle. So, Gilbert Arenas, please don't drive just to look for contact.
- Brandon Jennings is cooling off, but I'm still psyched to see him in person.
- The engine of the Bucks is not Jennings, but Andrew Bogut. He's quietly improved his game significantly. He can score in the post with either hand if you don't double and is an excellent passer if you do. He can run the pick-and-roll with Jennings, can step out and shoot and is the defensive lynchpin of the team. Luckily, we have Brendan Haywood to slow him down. Haywood's got to earn his money tonight.
- Michael Redd will not play for the Bucks tonight.
That's all. GO WIZARDS!

Thats one of the funniest videos
around pertaining to the NBA. Also I believe that jennings " cooling off " had alot to do with Bogut going out hurt Now Bogut is back and surprise they break there four game losing streak. Jennings is going to have a field day if Gil ends up guarding him. Hopefully Flip has better game plan. Maybe some NY?
wow
cant believe that NY is a defensive upgrade….but I agree, his length could really bother him
Young is quick....
but not even close to the same level as Jennings…. He would torch Nick….
He’s lightning quick, and has a wicked cross over move… He can get into the lane almost at will (very similar to Gil in that regard)… The biggest problem for defenders is that he’s been hitting his outside shots (50% of his 3-point shots), so you cannot just play off him to control his drive…He’ll burn you.
He’s not a very good finisher at the rim… but his drives are where he gets most of his assists.
So:
1 Contest his jump shot; especially behind the 3-point line.
2. If he drives, cover the passing lanes (don’t give help and collapse in to the lane).
3. Make him shoot over Haywood, Blatche, McGee and company.
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
NO
Bogut can really hurt you too…. Let him drive, but make him shoot on his drives…. NO drive and kick to a wide-open shooter. NO drive and dump for a dunk. Don’t let him shoot the 3 uncontested.
Bogut and Jennings will be very difficult to guard on the Pick-and-roll, or pick-and-pop….. so the Wizards will need crisp rotations.. and the big men will have to show on the PnR and get back to their man quickly.
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
Both OKC and San Antonio did a good job of chasing Jennings off the 3-point line (3 shots and 2 shots respectively), and when he penetrated, they stayed with their assignments so Jennings couldn’t find any open shooters… He frequently got in the air in the lane and had to put up floaters, and off-balance jumpers ; which cut down on his effectiveness…. Another thing that OKC and SA did well, was they didn’t foul him… Like Gilbert Arenas, Jennings is at his best when he’s getting a lot of foul shots.
Orlando played him different, but just as effectively. They let him shoot outside (4-7 from three, 7-22 overall) but contested his drives…. and didn’t foul him (zero foul shots)… Jennings ended up with 18 points, but shot poorly, and only had 4 assists because Orlando played straight up Defense on their own men…..and Jennings couldn’t find anyone open.
On the other hand, Chicago played Jennings like Washington used to play these small, quick guards in the past under Eddie Jordan. They tried to double him….. went under the picks….. and collapsed in the lane when he drove… Jennings ended up with only 15 points but he had 8 assists, involved the rest of his teammates, and was 3-4 from three point land – and the Bucks won, even though Jennings only shot 5-15 from the field.

I was thinking that as well
We have tp keep Gil on the floor but if Jennings starts torching him then we need to have a plan B.
I’ll be watching that match-up if it happens…. Boykins is quick… but I think Jennings has the quickest first step in the League… It will be interesting…
Perhaps we’ll see Boykins on Jennings and Gilbert on Delfino…
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
Of course, another way to limit Jennings effectiveness is to make him play Defense….

Sterling. This is why I don’t do much analysis here. I’d rather read and learn, and I have so much yet to learn with basketball. Still, glad I asked.
Wizards are doubling Bogut only when he dribbles
Which is a great strategy, Bogut’s too good a passer to double on the catch.

I hope Hollinger is watching this game as well after lambasting our nick earlier today.
Yeah – it’s like he looked at Nick’s scoring average of 7.0 points per game, and assumed he was playing poorly… when in fact, he wasn’t playing at all….

This won't get too much pub
But that was a great help-and-recover defensive set by Nick Young. Great.

Not worried
Don’t see ridnour burning us all night, and haywood isn’t getting pushed around by bogut. Jennings is being jennings, but I don’t see gilbert being as bad defensively as he was in the first half.
Just need some fire and control.
Yeah, it's rare that a team loses when they're shooting 10% better from the floor
Especially when the other team isn’t making a lot more free throws or threes. I think we’ll be fine tonight, although AJ’s d has never looked worse to me. Hakim Warrick SHOULD NOT look like Amare Stoudemire, no matter how undersized Antawn is.

We need to get better position. It seems like we’re overplaying the lanes or just getting beat out of position when he’s getting the ball.
he's not a good shooter
don’t let him drive. that’s the key.

Jamison must have missed the seminar on boxing out

Young skying for rebounds now?
I’m going to jump on the keep Young in the starting lineup bandwagon.
Yessssss
It’s amazing how just a little bit of effort is all it takes for an athletic guy with decent size to get some boards. He seems to be passing a bit better, too. He’s still horrible at sticking with his man when he doesn’t have the ball, though.
by pantslessyoda1 on Dec 2, 2009 8:30 PM EST up reply actions
And he needs to start studying the pre-game scouting reports… You don’t leave Charlie Bell open on the 3-point line…. let him drive… but never let him shoot an uncontested 3

Eh, Bell can't shoot anyway
He’s basically useless out there.

The ONLY thing he does passable
is shoot 3 pointers – he’s at 40% for the season….
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
It's a fluke
Last three years – 35%, 34%, 36%

I think this is a team-wide problem...
not just a NY problem. Caron seems to sag a lot when off ball and when the opposing team swings the ball… they’re late getting back to their man allowing them to get beat off the dribble when they’re rushing out.
Bonus with 7:21 to go
Cmon Wizards get into a free throw shooting groove here!

The Bucks have basically decided to concede the mid-range J with Gilbert
And prevent him from shooting threes and layups.
The only problem is Gilbert keeps making them pay.

Confidence.
That’s what I’m really seeing from Gilbert… and concentration. Those shots were misses earlier in the season.
AND
a lot of those shots were contested earlier in the season… Gil’s getting a lot of open looks on the PnR

I think that's b/c Milwaukee's giving him that shot

It is.
Wizards are making them shoot mid-range jumpers and boxing out pretty effectively. Besides the occasional miscue, we’ve been cleaning up the boards.
Brendan is really trying to make next summer difficult for us isn't he?
11 rebounds already?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk
Not really if he ask for to much let me walk
The last thing I want is an Erick dampier on our team. He pulled that double double trick on the warriors during his contract year
The difference is that Haywood is about 100 times better on defense than Dampier
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
How so
Dampier has higher career numbers than Haywood. I am just saying Haywood wouldnt be the first big man to put up career numbers on his contract year
Defense, dude
And he’s been great for many years before this year in years that weren’t contract years (05, 08).
Per-game stats with Haywood are meaningless because Eddie Jordan was an idiot and never played him as much as he should have.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
No
I’m saying we should give him a new contract because without him, our defense sucks.
I’ll get you the assigned reading shortly.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
So if he ask for Dampier like numbers
say $9-$10 million. Is he worth that to this team? I will answer my own question…..NO.
Why, for that kind of money you could get a starting quality C!
oh wait… what were we talking about?
We could always just let that young fella we've got warming the bench start
I forget his name, but he looks pretty nice. Then again, that didn’t work out too well for us last year…

Flip seems to trust Nick Young way more than Randy Foye

I don't know
if he’s given Foye too much of an opportunity to gain that trust since his injury.
Lots of folks were ready to write off Nick....
I still think he’s a better 2-guard than Foye… with higher upside… and better defensive potential.
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
True
Foye’s been bad lately. Nick makes way too many mistakes, but at least he has the size to guard big 2s (well, sort of). I’d still rather have Foye in than Boykins, though.

Enough trapping
Trapping Jennings never works – it forces you to help off shooters. Can we stop doing it?
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Jennings has shown he's adept at getting shooters the ball...
Have the coaches watched the game film? /rhetoric
5 minutes left in the game… and Flip shows who he has confidence in…
Boykins, Blatche, Gil, AJ and Butler
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
Great great defense on Bogut by Blatche.
The subsequent turnover by Boykins was ugly, but Blatche… so good.
Looks like he's prepping to come back in
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
although that looked like a bogus call on Blatche
push in the back? He barely had his hands on the guy, and he certainly didn’t MOVE Bogut…..
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
That's be ideal
I wouldn’t even mind keeping Blatche in to guard Warrick and shifting AJ to small forward. It’s not like the Bucks have anyone who could attack him off the dribble, and Caron’s length would help against Ridenour since he’s almost incapable of scoring in the paint.

Referrering tonight has been absolutley god awful some of the worst officiating I have seen since the Wizards loss at the Cavs last Christmas.
If we lose which we wont, there is no doubt NOT EVEN MISSED free throws are our demise. Its clearly missed calls by the refs down the stretch that would change this game significantly.
I don't agree
Milwaukee’s been called for tons of ticky-tack fouls.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I can't understand the anti-Boykins sentiment on here
He’s been a great closer for the Wizards ever since he started playing with them. People fixate on his size, but it’s not so easy for opponents to post on him. I’m sure his +/- is well in the positive range, and he generally makes smart decisions late in the game.
Well I was cursing him for all the dribbling on that possession
but then he got it to Haywood for the dunk!

Playing much better than we all thought and great for the price we got him. But it’d be nice if someone better were trading off ball-handling with Gilbert like this.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
To me, it's more about people being over to shoot over him
Basically, when you’re being guarded by someone who’s a foot shorter than you, every jumper is an open one. But yeah, he’s been good closing games, even if his ball pounding makes AI look like Rip Hamilton.

Hallelujah rook!
And how do you celebrate a Wizards’ win! By going to see Ninja Assassin! Wins on a back-to-back, how sweet!

with the schedule getting easier
Toronto at home on Friday
Sun, @ Detroit
Boston at home
Indiana at home
Then a West Coast trip with some very winnable games against
@ LA Clippers
@ Sacramento
@ Golden State
@ Phoenix
That will be 25 games – let’s see where we are after that West Coast trip…..
Bullets Forever - where "Dagger ! " happens......
I think we'll win 4 or 5 of the 7
Boston will beat us and we’ll probably lose to the Suns (although I could see them hitting a rough patch, since they’ve overperformed so much this year), but all of the other games are probably at worst 50-50 as far as the chances of us winning.
