The Bucks don?t lay this much juice too often, but they?re pretty good
when they do: 3-1 ATS laying ?6 or more, and here they?re doing it
against a team with a ton of injuries. How banged-up is Charlotte?
So banged-up that they were excited about the pending return of guard
super-stiff guard Keith Bogans, so that they could turn around and trade
him for super-stiff forward Lonny Baxter.
Inserting the lead-footed Baxter into a depleted front-court for the first
time won't plug any holes against this opponent. Milwaukee pushes that
tempo with T.J. Ford to run the Bobcats ragged. Undermanned
Charlotte has gotten underdog players excited with wins against those
physically and/or mentally damaged LA, Seattle and Philly teams during
the past week.
What goes up, must come down. Hard.
