LAKERS vs BUCKS (PRE-GAME REPORT)

It seems as if everyone who received a gold medal during the summer Olympic Basketball games in Beijing, have made a bigger impact for their team this year. Except for Michael Redd, captain of the Milwaukie Bucks. Even with the pick up of Richard Jefferson over the summer for Yi Jianlian, didn’t make much of difference in the win category. And with Villanueva at center, also making big plays for them, they still seem…well, mediocre.

Now back home at Staples Center, the Lakers face this mediocre Bucks team. Coming off of what should have been an easy road trip, turned out to be everything but, and also brought back a loss. And I know I’ve said this many times before, but this time I really do think these Lakers will realize that they really need to play all FORTY EIGHT MINUTES! On both ends of the floor. I know these guys have some anger to release from their poor efforts during that 3 game road trip and bring that hunger and killer instinct that they showcased at the beginning of the season.

Mediocre or not, this Bucks team can be very dangerous. Michael Redd, designated 3 shooter for our USA team over the summer can do just that. We already have trouble defending behind the arch, so Redd can really hurt us. And if Bynum and Gasol don’t do their job(which I doubt), can give Jefferson and Villanueva a chance to do some damage to us. But I guess well just have to see tonight.
