Bucks Diary

Everything is Green and Red


I just checked basketball-reference.com. I've been doing this blog for what... geez almost 4 years off and on. I cannot remember seeing more beautiful (relatively speaking) numbers for the Bucks than the ones I just checked.

First, were near the one third mark, we've played a tough schedule, road heavy, and our Pythagorean is above 0.500. Second, our defense, which you've heard me say time and time and time again has not been above 15th in the NBA for over a GENERATION (since Del Harris coached the team... chew on that) is now EIGHTH in the NBA and rising, and... even better news, our offense has improved!!

Two things... maybe I should lay off Redd a bit. But guys, I'm not arguing he can't help the offense... OBVIOUSLY he can!! What I am arguing is he simply isn't worth the money. Think about it this way. Lets say you have... oh screw my analogies!! Just know he's good but you don't pay 15.75 million for a frickin Corolla!!

Second, my sabermetric chart says ... whoaaa... on that "Redd is back, therefore its Redd" cause and effect reasoning... Others have improved simultaneously... Jefferson, Bogut.... Charlie V if you catch him on the right night... Whether Redd had anything to do with their performance, I doubt it... Professor Berri did exhausting research on the so-called "he makes others better" effect, and found it did not exist -- NOT EVEN WITH JORDAN OR BIRD... so I doubt it exists with a no pass gunner like Redd.

But I'm getting sidetracked. The point of this is the Bucks numbers rule. Go Bucks... got work to do... see ya.

The Dawn of a New Era? I watched that beatdown of the Clippers the other night - we looked like a playoff team. Balanced, agressive. It's good to see. Sure, Redd's overpaid, but not as much as Gadzuric!

Yes, your point is ABSOLUTELY right, but... and by the way, welcome to the Revolution Robert Greenfield and thank you for reading... BUT Gadzuric and I have to be absolutely clear here because people always misinterpret me... what I'm saying is "get rid of Redd" because Redd there's a MAJOR imbalance... FULL STOP.

Wait, Robert, I'm going to stop here, because I need to do a full post on this topic... do you mind? I'm going to combine your point with the point someone else made, because there's a lot of interest.

Thank you.... the post will be up shortly.
