Hawks-Bucks Preview

MILWAUKEE (AP) Jerry Stackhouse expects to get a call from Josh Smith very soon, and the Bucks veteran will tell the emerging 24-year-old power forward just how proud he is.

Stackhouse worked out in the offseason with Smith and the other Hawks in Atlanta while trying to return to game shape. While Stackhouse's career is winding down, he sees the potential in ``J-Smoove.''

``I'm like a big brother to him and I'm real proud of him from what he's been able to do, how he's grown as player from where he was to the things he's doing for that team to make them who they are right now,'' Stackhouse said. ``He's the key to them, in my opinion. Joe Johnson is Joe Johnson, but if Josh is playing at a real high level, flying around, rebounding the ball, doing all the things he's done, they're pretty tough to beat.''

That'll be the Bucks' challenge on Saturday night in Game 3. Milwaukee is in an 0-2 hole in their first-round series with Atlanta and have had three days off to think about it.

It's driven players on both teams a little batty.

Smith started it Thursday by saying that there's nothing to do in Milwaukee, something sure to raise the ire of Bucks fans who haven't seen a home playoff game in four years.

``Who me? I don't worry about that,'' Smith said Friday. ``I just play the game and hopefully we win.''

Smith, averaging 16.5 points and 12 rebounds so far in the series, said he'd ask teammates Joe Smith and Zaza Pachulia to give him some tips, since both players are former Bucks.

``They've been there so they know what's crack-a-lackin'. They know what's going down,'' he said.

Center Al Horford and Joe Johnson both grinned about Josh Smith's comments and the crowd's probable reaction.

``I'm sure they will (be on him). I'm sure they were going to be on him before then. It's going to be even more now for saying stuff like that,'' Horford said. ``And, I think that's fine. It'll be a good test for Josh, and we'll handle it as a team, all together.''

This series doesn't have the same sparkle of other first-round matchups and the Bucks are lightly regarded because of the season-ending injuries to center Andrew Bogut. Bucks coach Scott Skiles thought the rather tame opinion by Smith showed just how long three days without a game can be.

``IS there anything to do?'' Skiles asked reporters. ``Often times guys are asked about the city they're in and nobody ever writes anything unless they say something (derogatory). Nobody writes, 'I like Los Angeles.'''

At least no one was talking about the weather.

``Another day in paradise,'' said Stackhouse, who bought a winter coat before signing with the Bucks in January after thinking he might join the Hawks. ``When it's 55 (degrees), I've got no problems with that. When it's 6, that's when I have a problem.''

How else are the teams passing the time?

Horford tried to go to a baseball game in Atlanta, but didn't get there in time.

Forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute spent about 10 minutes after practice Friday trying to perfect a series of shots. He lobbed the ball over the backboard off each letter on the baseline that spells out ``Milwaukee Bucks.''

Bucks guard Luke Ridnour was trying another game. He attempted to throw a tennis ball off a back wall in the weight room, have it bounce once and land in a cup on a treadmill.

``It's been a tough three days,'' guard John Salmons said. ``Just trying not to overthink things.''

At least the Bucks are loose.

Milwaukee has shot 10 of 44 from 3-point range and the Hawks have 19 blocked shots in the first two series, several of them highlight-reel swats.

``They're going to make spectacular plays,'' Stackhouse said. ``We've just got to take the ball out of bounds and try to run our offense.''

But if the trends continue, the series will be a short one.

``We have to do whatever it takes to leave Milwaukee with two wins,'' Johnson said. ``We know what to expect. We know we're not going to have the crowd in our favor. We haven't been a great road team, but we haven't been that bad. In the playoffs, it's a lot more difficult.''

Skiles says the Bucks need to have their most energetic performance of the season, but acknowledges he's not sure what the three-day layoff will mean.

``When we haven't played and there's been virtually no news, again, no offense to you guys, but I'm answering roughly the same questions,'' the coach said. ``There's nothing else to say or ask. Nothing's happened.''

Until Saturday.

Bucks jump on Hawks early to climb back into series

Milwaukee (NBA.com exclusive) -- Fear the deer, indeed.

John Salmons led the offense with 22 points and a hustling defensive effort thwarted the bigger and more athletic Atlanta frontcourt in a rousing 107-89 victory Saturday night at the Bradley Center.

After two 10-point losses in Atlanta, the Bucks pulled within 2-1 in the best-of-seven series, with Game 4 to be played Monday night.

The Hawks dominated the inside play in Games 1 and 2 as Milwaukee could do little with star center Andrew Bogut out with a dislocated elbow and broken right hand.

On Saturday, the Bucks were the better in every category as a hounding, helping defense held Atlanta's starting forwards Josh Smith and Marvin Williams to a combined 3-for-19 shooting effort.

Kurt Thomas, the starter in Bogut's place, had 13 rebounds in 25 minutes and made all four shots he took for eight points. Backup Dan Gadzuric chipped in 10 rebounds in 17 minutes off the bench.

"I could probably start with a lot of guys but Kurt was great," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "He plugged up the middle for us, knocked down his shot, moved the ball around, boarded it. He was really active tonight.

"It's no secret the first couple of games they owned us in the paint, and we were able to take a couple of things away from them tonight."

Carlos Delfino missed the Bucks' first two shots of the night. From there, the Bucks took off.

Brandon Jennings hit three 3-pointers in a 4-for-4 start before missing on a 3-pointer, and Salmons went 5-for-5 in the period.

Two of Jennings' 3-pointers came in a 10-0 run that gave the Bucks a 17-5 lead.

Threes by Jennings and Jerry Stackhouse capped an 8-0 run that made it 27-11. At that point the Bucks were 12-for-15 -- Delfino 0-for-3, and the rest of the team perfect from the field. The Argentinean forward would make up for that later.

Luke Ridnour's baseline jumper with 0.9 seconds left gave the Bucks a 36-19 lead after one.

"That was real big for us," said Jennings, who had 11 of his 13 in the first quarter. "We started out 0-for-2 and then things just started clicking and we never looked back."

The Hawks, who were led by Joe Johnson's 25 points, cut the margin to 52-40 at the half on Williams' only basket of the night, a 3-pointer with 4.2 seconds left.

A 3-pointer and two free throws by Johnson got the Hawks within single digits at 54-45 early in the third period, and the idea that Atlanta could wear the Bucks down and pull the game out was on a lot of minds.

That's when Delfino was finally heard from, hitting an open 3-pointer from the right corner off an assist from Jennings.

"If you look at that possession, I think it was exactly what we've talked about the last three days -- just trusting each other, moving the ball and finding the open guy," said Salmons, who was an extremely efficient 9-for-11 with a game-high seven assists. "We did that on that possession and Carlos knocked down a big shot for us."

Delfino's shot started a 7-0 Bucks run, and when he dropped in another 3-pointer 2 ½ minutes later it capped a 10-2 run and gave the Bucks a 64-47 lead.

The Hawks never got closer than 13 the rest of the way, and the Bucks built the lead as high as 28 at 93-65 on Luke Ridnour's 3-pointer with 5:49 left.

The Bucks finished the night shooting 51.3% (41-of-80), while holding the Hawks to 39.1% (34-for-87). Right from the start, the Bucks punched hard and the Hawks didn't punch back.

That was something that didn't sit well in the Atlanta locker room.

"They wanted it badder than we did," Johnson said. "Give them credit. Their backs were against the wall and they had a no-lose attitude. From the start, they set the tone."

At this point of the season, it pained Johnson to admit Milwaukee wanted the game more.

"It seemed as though when they hit us we just kind of backed away and walked the other way," Johnson said. "It can't be that way in playoff basketball. It's a physical game, especially in the playoffs, so that's how we've got to approach it."

Milwaukee played its first home playoff game in four years, and the sellout crowd of 18,717 caught the players' attention.

"I was blown away," said Salmons, normally not one to make grand statements. "The crowd was great. Charlie (Bell) and I were talking on the bench about how much the place was rocking."

With Game 4 on Monday, Thomas is hoping for a repeat performance from the fans.

"The crowd was amazing," Thomas said. "They carried us for 48 minutes and we're going to need that same intensity Monday night."
