I also don't understand how the refs let Bogut play finesse defense with flopping on most posessions then pushing slapping defense on other posessions. If he plays one way he shouldn't be allowed to play the other. They sure don't afford Dwight that option.

What, you think teams are gonna allow Howard to just dunk the ball? I watched the game and the Bucks did a pretty decent job defending him. Doesnt hurt when the Magic hit 34% from the field and take 30 threes and hit 10. The reason you lost was guys like Bogans, Turkoglu (whose stats look ok until u see his shooting) and Nelson didnt step up their games. The bench was mediocre. The only guys who rocked up were Howard and Lewis. Ive never been a big Jameer fan, and I wonder if Orlando jumped the gun in locking him away so quickly.
The Magic are in a funk. It happens to all teams at some point, especially young ones. Theyll come around - but they arent playin good ball right now. Dont try to put a damper on the Bucks performance, cause they did what they had to to get the win, and comfortably. Bogut played solid defense on Howard and stepped in and took charges on wild drives by Turk and Evans and the like. Redd played well, Yi played well...they outplayed and out hustled you guys tonight. Just look at that play by Voskuhl that ended up with a Redd 3. Summed up the whole night.
