Bucks Drop Wade-less Heat 90-85
The Milwaukee Bucks, as luck would have it, would be informed during their game against the Miami Heat Wednesday night that they were officially eliminated form the Eastenr Conference playoff chase.

Bucks Keep Playoff Hopes Alive, Rally To Beat 76ers In OT 93-87

Heat Wins 8th Straight, Hold Off Bucks In OT 101-95

Salmons, Defense Helps Bucks Trample Hawks 107-89
John Salmons, in my humble opinion, is what one can be considered an underrated NBA player. One thing that he is: consistent. 15.4 PPG, 2.9 RPG and 2.8 APG.
