Bucks defeat CBA version of the Lakers

If you can't beat a team whose most productive player is Maurice Evans, who you gonna beat?

Last night the Bucks pummelled a Lakers team that was missing not only Kobe Bryant, but also their second best player Lamar Odom, starter Luke Walton, the very productive reserve F Ronny Turiaf, and the very stupid reserve F "Half Pipe Vlade", Vladimir Radmanovich. You could sense that both teams realized the absence of these players all night long. The game had all the intesity of a lunchtime pick-up contest at the YMCA.

I will say, however, that Andrew Bogut and Charlie Villanueva had great games. Villanueva was scorching shots from behind the 3 point line (6-for-8) and Bogut just destroyed the guy foxsports.com's Charley Rosen thinks the Bucks should have drafted instead of him, Lakers C Andrew Bynum (Eff48 of 41.14 to Bynum's 15.99).

Also, say what you will about Bogut, the guy is a spectacular passer from the high post. He had at least 3 beautiful bounce passes from up high that led directly to Milwaukee baskets. Next year, going forward, the Bucks should think about starting their offense through him. If he could hit a jumper from there ala Vlade Divac, he would really be a weapon.
