Chase to 50: Bucks Home Opener

The Milwaukee Bucks home opener against the Miami Heat was last night and yours truly was there with some friends. Unfortunately because this game wasn't in my half season plan, I had to wait in line way back in September to buy these tickets the minute they were available. Of course I bought the cheapest tickets available ($10), because I don't have money coming out of the woodwork. The tickets however were not disappointing, especially sitting with a sellout crowd of my 18,000 favorite friends. The volume level in the Bradley Center was amazing, especially come the fourth quarter. With Shaq, out the Bucks were able to bring home the win. Bobby Simmons really was the player of the game, but some real bruising by Jamaal Magloire at the end of the game really was a big help. The play of those two was a perfect example of what has been missing in previous seasons. Sparing myself, I'll let you read the recap. There are pictures of the game up on my Flickr account, if you're into that kind of thing. If you head over to the NBA section on ESPN.com you can check out the "Motion video" stuff, which allows you to watch highlights of the game, including Simmons monster dunk at the end of the game.

The Chase To 50: 3-0, with 79 to go!
