With those two out however, the Bucks needed new players to pick them up. Enter Charlie V, who with his season-high 36 points in the Bucks 120-117 win over Denver on Sunday, continues to make that straight up trade for T.J Ford look like Larry Harris's last stroke of genius. The Bucks entire offense is running through him at this point. He's the guy they look to for the big three-point shot, he's the guy grabbing the boards and throwing the rock back in on a monster dunk. Charlie Villanueva, who would have thought.
Also enter Ramon Sessions, who had 27 points and 8 assists in the Bucks victory on Sunday. Sessions is barely leaving the floor at this point, and that is a good thing. He had 43 minutes against Denver, even though Luke Ridnour still played 21. The strategy of playing both Sessions and Ridnour at the same time seemed like the discovery of the atom when Scott Skiles first implemented it, now it's become a standard and effective 1-2 punch at the guard positions.
If you are still doubting the level of contribution Sessions and V bring to this team, go and re-watch the Nuggets game again. I am getting to the point where I am going to be depressed if the Bucks can't keep both of these guys next season. As great as the standard 17 points from Richard Jefferson are a night, I really thought he would have had more of an impact this season. He's still effective, but I'd much rather see the Bucks dump him to keep Charlie Villanueva, something I never thought I'd say in the history of my life.
It was an impressive win against a Nuggets team that is 37-19 on the season, one of the top contenders in the West. With the victory, the Bucks improve to 28-31, which is fascinating to me because it doesn't feel like they are three games under .500. Maybe that's because they still hold a 1 1/2 game lead for the glorious Eastern Conference 8th Seed.
I'm not getting Bear's Box Score references lately.

Ha, my bad winks, i completely forgot about writing this up.
By the way, my reference are movie lines.
That's a lotta Dimp - is from supertroopers, and was referring to LeBrons 55.
I can't make that pitch coach - is from remember the titans and referred to the bucks not having enough to win.
movie lines winks, movie lines.
I suppose pop culture lines like yeah thats the ticket as well.
Fred, keep up with the Bucks write-ups. It's not the same when Winks does them.
What a great game!
Free tickets for me & my fam!
Michael Redd bobbleheads!

Gratuitous, shameless, unregulated use of exclamation points!
I agree with anonymous!
Man was I pi$$ed when I heard that dude from Outside the Lines refer to the Bucks mascot as "Bongo".
Hey Bob Ley ... it's BANGO ... get it right fool!
