In that loss, I saw a lot of things I saw in the '07-'08 Bucks, when writing about them became more of a chore. They didn't shoot well, defend well, and Michael Redd continued to prove he only cared about his scoring average.
One night later, I realized I may have overreacted. Sure, a 98-87 victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder doesn't really prove anything, but I was pretty impressed with their play tonight. Quick thoughts:
*Besides Bogut getting in foul trouble early again, he looked pretty good. He's definitely the glue that holds this team together.
*An even 20 points out of Redd, Jefferson, and Villaneuva. The three of them played together, and played to their strengths.
* I really like our bench. Malik Allen and Tyronn Lue serve their role. Charlie Bell works as a 6th man. Mbah a Moute might be my new favorite Buck.
Whereas last night I put too much stock into a loss, I have to be careful I'm not putting too much stock into a victory. But regardless, this was a pretty good performance by Milwaukee, and it brings optimism that more performances like this one are to come.
