Title Hopes

The Bucks endured a 3-9 start to have the best season in over a decade. Dog carried the team in the first half of the season with his sharp shooting and good defense(no that is not a typo). The second half belonged to Ray Allen who stepped his game up and has become one of the top shooting guards in the league. As good as those two were, Sam Cassell was the heart of this team. His veteran leadership got these guys believing they are winners. The other players on this team all played their role perfectly. If they were asked to play defense they did it. If they were asked to rebound they did it. The role players on this team accept that Ray, Dog, and Sam are the stars, and that has made this team very good. The Bucks have been less then perfect in the playoffs thus far, but they have found a way to win. With a 2-1 lead over the hornets and either Philly or Toronto up next I ask why not the Bucks?
