Coo Coo Cal Game Preview: Bucks @ Wizards

Last season when the Wizards played the Bucks, we used the same song.  But I don't think there are any other rappers from Milwaukee except this one hit wonder, Coo Coo Cal.  Plus the Bucks are playing in DC so BAM!


Last season the Wiz faced the Bucks early in the season at 0-2 and it is looking no different this season. The 0-3 Wizards are looking to get their first win of the season, in front of the home crowd.  The Bucks have already won 2 games so far.

In my projects, Bucks call the Wizards name...

In my projects, Zards haven't won a game...

In my projects, Bucks won 3 of 4 last year...

Don't come to my projects, when Seraphin is here...

In the short season last year the Wiz lost 3 out of 4 to the Bucks and this season the Bucks backcourt has taken a large step forward with Monta Ellis having all offseason to gel with teammates.  In the one Wizards win, Ellis was on the Bucks, and he finished with 31 points.

Crawford had 32 points in that previous meeting but right now J-Craw looks like he is shaken up from an ankle injury.  While he may try to play, his injury could be a big factor for his playing time like it was on Wednesday against the Celtics.

That means someone else has to step up...in the backcourt...

The Bucks backcourt has the skills to dominate AJ Price & the Wizards' shaky point guard offense and defense.  Therefore, the Wiz are going to have to depend on Kevin Seraphin inside to set a tone for the game.

One of the X-factors for the Bucks is Mike Dunleavy.  The Wizards usually all go into the paint on a drive but can't get back out to cover shooters.  I expect Dunleavy to hit a few backbreaking shots if the Wiz don't keep close to him.

Beal had a decent game against the Celtics, and is looking to repeat that performance...AJ Price needs to stop jacking and turning it over and start running the offense.
