Chase to 50: Bucks vs Warriors

I failed to bring a home a win for the deer last night. I snuck into the seventh row directly behind the bench and was yelling for the low-post double-screen play that results in Michael Redd being wide open for a shot every time, however the Bucks could not bring home the win. T.J. Ford, even though he's the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, had an off shooting night. As a result Coach Stotts left him on the bench for what I thought was a little too long, especially in the late stages of the game. With Michael Redd in foul trouble and therefore sitting longer than usual, Charlie Bell receieved way too much playing time. The drive-and-dish strategy of the Warriors worked well, with Baron Davis and company going to the basket and passing it back out to a now open player (particularly Pat Murphy) for the wide open three. This system works perfectly when the player can get close to the basket and the defense collapses on him. Bell, weak on defense, and Mo Williams let this scenario play out way too often during the late stages of the game. T.J. Ford, I feel, could have stopped a lot of the drives to the basket and therefore killed the Warriors in the late stages of the game. Oh well, you can't win them all. They played well, especially Bogut, just not well enough.

My pictures turned out pretty good.
