... Brew Hoop: “While the Bucks’ 5-6 record isn’t going to turn many heads in L.A. or New York, it’s tough to complain given what they’re up against: an obscene eight back-to-backs in the first month, 12 of the first 19 on the road, and seven games and counting without Michael Redd. Add in all the new faces and the team’s miserable preseason performance, and it’s difficult not to feel a bit relieved with what Scott Skiles and company have managed to pull off in the first eleven games. Then again, the Bucks have little time to pat themselves ...

... BrewHoop's Frank Madden is fired up about one particular Buck: "As for [Luc Richard] Mbah a Moute, let the record show that he actually became the starter before Villanueva hurt his hamstring, and at the moment it's difficult to see why Skiles would change things up once Villanueva returns.

While he's undersized for a 4, his boundless energy and athleticism allow him to be productive guarding either forward spot. And though scouts were adamant that he could ...
