Blake struggled mightily vs. Central Division
Here's one you can file under the category of "Bad Omens". Newly acquired Bucks PG Steve Blake played his worst basketball last year against the Central Division.
His Eff48 against the Central Division in 2005-06 was a measly 11.44, by far his worst production against any division in the NBA. And if you remove the Bucks from the equation, his Eff48 sinks to 10.74.
The only team in the division he played well against was the woeful point guard rotation of the Cleveland Cavaliers, against whom he registered a pretty respectable Eff48 of 22.28. Of course, based on that, you can guess how badly he stunk against the rest of the division. Granted, Indiana, Chicago, and Detroit feature three of the toughest defenses in the association, but, unfortunately, they are also three defenses the Bucks will face often and must be successful against. And Blake has not been, to say the least.
Here are the ugly numbers he compiled in toto last season vs. Indiana, Chicago, and Detroit:
4 games, 85 Mins Played, 0-11 FGs, 6-8 FTs, 6 Pts, 6 Rebs, 7 Ass, 5 TOs, 2 Stls, 0 Blks
Needless to say, those numbers need to improve drastically if the Bucks are to have any success against advancing in the Central Division next season.

Fucking spam comments...that''s why I didn't allow any on my old blogspot site.
Anyway, I've got a new theory:
Blake and Williams are going to split starts at the 1. Both are free-agents this year, so whichever is doing the worst at the all-star break will get dumped with either Joe Smith or Calvin Booth's mess for something that can help with a playoff push. No way we make it with 4 points.
what do those morons hope to accomplish with those stupid messages?
I like the split start theory, but I can already hear the whining and crying.
Your comment yesterday has me really perplexed. You were right on the money. The Bucks have no one other than Noel to backup Simmons, and is he ready? They seemingly have eighteen 6'1-6'3 players, where are they all going to play, and they have a bunch of not ready for primetime foreigners. I don't know what the theory is behind the roster.
You want to get rid of the spammers? Just enable the password function on your comments. I do it on my site, got rid of them completely.
We have two good backups for Simmons.....Charlie V. and Michael Redd....Neither guy is Marques Johnson, but both are good enough to play 7-8mpg at SF until we figure out if Ersan or Noel will even make it in the league.
I just don't see this big hole others do....now, I do still see issues with "athleticism" But, we might get that from Charlie....
I think your right Pressey -- it has to be Villanueva as the backup. But I kind of hate it when starters serve as the backup for other starters.
Thanks for the tip, Cheeseman. Do commenters have to do the password everytime then? I don't want to annoy the legitimate regulars.
Is Larry trying to ruin the Bucks?
Easily I agree but I about the brief should prepare more info then it has.
I inclination not approve on it. I think warm-hearted post. Specially the appellation attracted me to be familiar with the sound story.
