They are better than their record... should finish above 40 wins this year.
The Mavs are making them look like the greatest team of all tiem though.
To think Bogut is out too... so they do have some inside game.
cause I have seen them a handful of times, twice against my Spurs.....and they have played well everytime.
Maybe they rely on too many jumpers and when those arent falling, they dont have the inside game to bail them out.

I wish Elson played this way when he was with SA.....He is a beast out there.
bottom feeders of the NBA usually try to throw out their best game against good teams... i.e. Spurs, Lakers, PHX, Dallas.....
what i mean by good teams are teams that constantly make the playoffs in the last decade
i know what you mean by good teams. still, milwaukee has a nice group of players. i am just surprised they are not more consistent when it comes to winning.
They'll make the playoffs. But remember, they have to play in the East; you can't just run and gun your way to 50 wins out there.
that's management fault....
What's the management fault? Their current GM, J Hammond (former Pistons assistant GM) only arrived last Summer.
The Bucks are in a complex situation, with Redd being so grossly overpaid and not expiring till 2011. Jefferson is also slightly overpaid. Of course, they're probably good enough to make the play-offs, but what after that? And Alexander is a terrible player - Matt Harpring being his absolute ceiling, although I doubt he becomes so good. They have some positives going for them:
- Andrew Bogut is one of the best rebounders in the NBA and one of the best defensive bigs in the game. I think they only won around .180 of their games without him in the last 2 years - and Bogut is playing better than ever. They are a top 5/6 def. team and arguably the best rebounding team in the league - and mostly thanks to Bogut. Average offensive player in terms of scoring, but an awesome passer for a big - this guy is going to produce plenty of wins.
- Skiles is a great coach. He's changed the mentality of that franchise in a couple of months. He now needs the pieces.
- Luc Richard Mbah a Moute was an incredible steal in the 2nd round. A top 10 rookie and the best defender of this class. Elite defender for many years in the league.
- Sessions is an intriguing prospect, although he will never be more than a scoring combo guard with poor defense.
- Villanueva doesn't have consistency. When he's good, he's All-Star material. They're shopping him heavily and if he keeps this level they'll get some quality - and a player more suited to Skiles - in return.
In the short term, Ridnour is an inteligent PG, maybe the best "really average" PG in the league. He knows how to run the show. Redd is still an insanely good and efficient scorer. Jefferson is a consumate pro. Skiles has them playing defence. Guys like Elson, Lue and Malik Allen know what has to be done. Bell is a very good role-player in a decent contract. CV and Sessions can provide the offensive spark. LRMAM is the defensive specialist. If Bogut is healthy (and he hasn't been this season so far - besides the missed games, he has been playing injured), they're a lock to make the playoffs and I can see them making some noise in the 1st round.
