Milwaukee's 2nd round pick watch thread

[fairweatherfan]

The way the Knicks are playing we should maybe focus on whether the Bucks can catch Philly.  We can help out with that tonight

That's what I meant - we're playing Philly tonight, we can help the Bucks pass them by winning.

Hadn't considered that Philly is in play.   Knicks really stole one today -- Bulls should have won in regulation and in OT.

Bucks play OKC tomorrow. Utah  in a home and home with San Antonio next 2 days.  Unforunately Denver and Dallas are both playing terribly giving Phoenix and Utah life.   Go Bucks.

Though the Bucks pick may not be all that likely, it does raise a question: what's Danny likely to do with so many picks in this year's draft?

Get some rookie bigs so that Doc plays the veteran JuJuan Johnson.

[LeoMoreno]

We only got 15 spots on the team and maybe, eventually, 2 people to cut or send to D-League. And Doc doesn't want to see Sasha go.

Ha ha!

Go Bucks! NY and Philly are only one game ahead now.

TO be honest sasha is playing very good ball right now

things get interesting: the Bucks host the OKC Thunder and the Jazz play the Spurs at home. If MIL and SAS winning streaks are kept alive, the Bucks will pass the Jazz and will be only half a game behind NY/Phoenix/Philly for the 15th spot. It will be hard because Utah is strong at home, and the Thunder are a force... anyway, Go Bucks! We want that pick!

[Boris Badenov]

The C's are in much better shape than they were a few days ago.

Both PHI and NYK are only one ahead in the loss column. All we need is for MIL to pass ONE of those teams and we get the pick.

You can see this in Hollinger's playoff odds, which have bumped MIL from around a 30% chance to just over a 50% chance to make the playoffs, over the last week.

well, things got a bit tougher this week, and now the Bucks are 2 games behind Philadelphia and Phoenix. The good news could be they can catch the Knicks if they beat them tonight at the Bradley Center.

The Sixers are playing on the road and hopefully the Raptors can beat them. Phoenix and Utah, also on the road, will have tough games in Memphis and Houston. A Denver win would help too, as Phoenix and Utah hopes to make the playoffs would be smaller.

Go Bucks! Go Raptors! Go Grizzlies! Go Rockets! Go Nuggets!

and, of course, Go Celtics!!

Tough night from a picks perspective. Huge loss by the Bucks and the Clippers beat OKC on the road and get Minny next without Love... Pretty easy win. Have been hoping they would fall to 5th or even lower but they have played very well recently.  Philly and Indy both won as well.

[aporel#18]

Phoenix, NY and Philly are 2 games ahead the Bucks, and Utah is 1.5 games ahead. Things get harder as the Bucks are hosting the Pacers on saturday night. If they can beat them, they need help from the Grizzlies who are hosting the Jazz, and the Spurs who play the Suns. Tough combination as the Pacers are playing well, while the Spurs are limiting their starters minutes and don't care a lick about a regular season win.

Go Bucks, and whoever can help them to get the 16th record.

By the way, after tonight's loss, our own picks are 21st and 51st, and the Clippers pick is 25th.

Go Celtics!!!

Bucks losses to the Knicks on Wednesday and the Pacers on Saturday really hurt the C's chances to get the Bucks pick.  The teams that matter (Phoenix, utah, Philly and Knicks) are more or less losing enough to make a Bucks move possible, but it appears Milwaukee just isn't good enough. 

Knicks surprisingly continue to play well despite losses of Amare and Lin. 76ers have tough schedule ahead.  Phoenix and Utah square off on the 24th, and Philly plays both Utah and Phoenix away before all is said and done.  Bucks have some very winnable games coming up (Wiz, Nets, Toronto, Philly) while Knicks have some tough competition (Heat, Celtics, Hawks, Clips).  Bad news is Bucks play C's and Knicks play Bobcats on last day of the season.
