For the Wolves, something to howl about. For the Bucks, they cried wolf.











at the Target Center, November 25, 2005:Well, this is a disaster. The Bucks looked very, very flat tonight against Minnesota after a very impressive showing 2 days ago against Philadelphia. The result: A 107-70 blowout for the Timberwolves. Ricky Davis led the T-Wolves with 23 points and (as you all can expect) Kevin Garnett had a big night with 22 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists while Mark Blount had 14 points and 10 rebounds. I just was disgusted by the Bucks' performance tonight. Michael Redd was their leading scorer, but he only had 17 points, followed by Bobby Simmons with 15 and Philip Fitzpatrick with 10. It was a bad night for Fitzy... he was 4-for-12 from the field, a disastrous 2-for-8 from the foul line, and he only had 2 rebounds. On the bright side, he did have 3 assists and 2 blocks, though. What really made me disappointed in the Bucks was that they shot just 30.4 % from the field and 64.3% from the charity stripe compared to the T-Wolves' 56.5% field goal rate and a perfect 8-for-8 from the line, and the Wolves outrebounded the Bucks 55-45 and had twice the assists of Milwaukee, 22 to 11. All told, not a good night to be a Bucks fan. And it gets worse: the Detroit Pistons come to the Bradley Center tomorrow. I'll fill you in on the details in the next post.
