SOUNDING OFF...

Elite statistics for Antetokoun­mpo Robert James: Milwaukee still having a franchise, a new arena and it's downntown/arena developmen­t would not have happened if the Greek Freak never happened in Milwaukee. He saved pro basketball for the city of Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin. I know, it sounds a little hyperbolic but tell me different. Carl Chaput: He is definitely the face of the franchise and the most exciting player to come through the door since Lew Alcindor. Well worth the price of admission. Bucks vs. Raptors Larry Griebenow: We will need to defend the paint, so Henson will be critical. And we will need muscle, so Monroe is going to be key. But outside shooting helps open up the middle for us, so there need to have big minutes by Spencer Hawes. Tony Cecchi: If the Bucks play the defense they have showed they can play, and score points in the paint, the Bucks are going to be a pesky out. I'm not into prediction­s from the so-called experts and I'm not going to predict the Bucks win this series either. Let the games begin and I'm hoping the Bucks show up. Fear the deer! Greg Kollmansbe­rger: The NBA playoffs are the chalkiest playoffs there is. Warriors vs Cavs has been predicted for months, and should happen. Bad match-up for the Bucks. Raptors got their number. Taking Raptors in 5. Early success for Brewers starters Peralta, Nelson Kenneth Marshall: Winning at the major league level is all about pitching no matter how good a team's hitting is. That's been the Brewers biggest downfall over the years. Nelson and Peralta pitching well consistent­ly is one of the keys to the Brewers season. Peralta still has to do better than 112 pitches in six innings. UW’s Carlini wins Sullivan Award Tom Richards: Congratula­tions to Lauren on a fantastic career at UW and all the best in your future! Jane Lynn: Congratula­tions Lauren. Blackhawk Nation is so proud of you.
