OTHER PERSPECTIVES: Bucksketball, Brew Hoop

PREVIOUSLY, THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS...won 102-97 in Denver on Saturday night despite being without Andrew Bogut much of the game due to foul trouble. It was Milwaukee's 14th win in their last 16 games. One of those two losses came when the Hawks beat the Bucks 106-102 in overtime in Atlanta on February 28th in the only previous meeting between the teams this season. The other came in Los Angeles against...the Clippers? That's what it says here. Huh.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
