BUCK SHOTS
At the end of their current road trip the Bucks will have played 12 out of their first 18 games on the road. It’s
the earliest in the season that they’ve played 12 road games since the 1985-86 season when they also played
12 out of their first 18 on the road. The Bucks lead the NBA with 11 road games and play their 12tttth tonight.
Another way this season is similar to 1985-86 season, that we’ve noticed, is that is the only other season that
the team has played as many as 17 games in November.
With Andrew Bogut missing Wednesday’s game with a bone bruise (left knee), Richard Jefferson is the only
Buck to start in all 17 of the team’s games. The club’s opening night starting lineup of Andrew Bogut, Richard
Jefferson, Michael Redd, Luke Ridnour and Charlie Villanueva have only appeared in the same game twice
this season.
No team has played more games than Milwaukee’s 17 thus far.
The Bucks are first in rebound percentage (.546), defensive rebound percentage (.774) and fourth in
offensive rebound percentage (.318).
The Bucks are currently 2-4 in a stretch where they play six of seven games on the road.
Over his last nine games, Luke Ridnour has knocked down 90.0 percent (27-30) of his free throws. On the
season he is shooting 87.8 percent.
