The living dead.................

So I know the NBA is dead to me, but it might be getting close to moving to the "On Notice" list. The Milwaukee Bucks are playing extremely well. Over the weekend the played the Denver Nuggets and won. (I think Denver might be in 2nd in the West, I tried looking up the standings but the screen was blank because the NBA is dead to me.) Then last night they beat a very good Atlanta Hawks team (in 3rd I believe). I think they are 13-2 since the all star break, which is the best record in the NBA during that time.

The thing about it is that they have a balance team, they play basketball the way it should be played (like the Spurs of a few years ago). Play defense, pass the ball, have some energy, a few foreign players, shoot well, rebound. Hopefully this catches on and instead of teams overpaying Lebron or D'Wade, teams build a balanced squad and play basketball.

The only catch is that this will probably be a one hit wonder team. They have very little money left and probably won't be able to sign Salmons after the season. He is their leading scored and has been the difference in most of their wins. They have to trick another team into trading for Michael Redd. Redd can still shoot and score when he is healthy, hopefully some team that loses out on Lebron or D'Wade panics and is willing to trade for Redd. I am sure the Bucks will be willing to trade for a grilled cheese sandwich at this point. The Bucks also need to keep all the foreign players they have that are doing so well. It's nice to know that they have Jennings for a few years and Bogut just resigned, they can be the rock of the team for awhile.
