OTHER PERSPECTIVES: Bucksketball, Brew Hoop

PREVIOUSLY, THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS...beat the Miami Heat (without Dwyane Wade) 94-71 in Miami yesterday afternoon. It was Milwaukee sixth straight win and seventh win in eight games. The Bucks have also won six straight road games, with their last loss away from home coming on February 2nd in Orlando.

One of my favorite players, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, has recently augmented his sterling defensive work with real offensive contributions. Over the last 11 games, he's averaged 10.6 points per game while increasing his season scoring rate by 16% and his season eFG% from 50.5 to 55.6.

This is the first meeting between the two teams this season.

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