Expect Big Things From Rip Hamilton

Since Rip Hamilton's game one ankle injury he just hasn't been the Rip we have come to count on, that's to be expected with his type of injury. Hamilton relies on his speed and agility to cut through screens and pester his defender and he hasn't been able to do that.

Adam Thompson column: Bucks too inconsistent to advance

Watching the Milwaukee Bucks dismantle the top-seeded Detroit Pistons Saturday night was an impressive sight to behold, to say the least.
