And Rose will be playing with a sprained ankle. I'll give 'em a shot against the Bulls.

Barring serious injury to one of these teams, they are definitely not beating Orlando, Boston, or Miami. If they can get a 4/5 seed they'll have to beat Chicago or Atlanta. Atlanta is a maybe. I don't like the matchups against Chicago at all.

They're going to have to limit his minutes. I really though the Bucks could get 50+ wins. But without Bogut playing full time most of the first half of the season, it's not going to happen. There's a lot of rotation to be figured out with Salmons, Delfino, M'bah a Mute, and Maggette. Ilyasova and Gooden should do a decent job backing up for Bogut, but neither are the low post offensive threat he is.

Still, they were almost better than the Hawks last year, and with Jennings one year older and wise, and Bogut (hopefully) playing all season, and Maggette raising their FTA/G from horrid to reasonable, they'll definitely surpass the Hawks this year. Maybe not record wise, but if they meet in the playoffs, the Bucks will spank them.
