Mortal Enemies of the Night: Brew Hoop
Bucks vs 76ers coverage
- Elton Brand still leads the team in scoring at exactly 15.0 points per game. He's doing it on 51.4% shooting, his best since 2006.
- Evan Turner is hovering just below the 40% shooting mark. Riding two good games in a row, hopefully he'll get over the hump tonight.
- The Bucks just lost at home to the Spurs, giving up 27 points to the bench combination of Gary Neal and Matt Bonner.
- As Brew Hoop discovered this week, the Bucks are the most heavily banged up team in the league with a total of 77 games missed to injury. The Sixers are in the middle of the pack at around 28.
- Without Brandon Jennings, Michael Redd and Carlos Delfino, Scott Skiles is starting Keyon Dooling, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, John Salmons, Ersan Ilyasova, and Andrew Bogut. Needless to say, that's not a very good starting five. But these Bucks are tied with us, one game back of Charlotte for the "coveted" 8-spot in the East.
