Game to pay attention to: Bucks vs. Spurs
OK, this does move around a bit, so let's try to keep up.
Tim Duncan(notes)? In. Andrew Bogut(notes)? Out. Michael Redd(notes)? Out. Manu Ginobili(notes)? Out. Tony Parker(notes)? In. Luc Mbah a Moute? Out, possibly. Richard Jefferson(notes)? In, with the Spurs.
Brandon Jennings(notes)? So, so in.
This could be a pretty solid matchup. The Spurs haven't been up to their usual stuff defensively this year, but they have been able to put points on the board. The Bucks have been stellar defensively since the outset, and though losing Bogut will hurt them in that area, replacement pivots Dan Gadzuric(notes) and Kurt Thomas(notes) are hardly slouches in that area.
Just four games tonight, including a trip to Portland for the Bulls, and a pair of lesser pairings (Kings and Grizzlies, Clippers and Timberwolves) that are bound to put NBA basketball back at least a decade. Which would be fine by me, because I'd be in better shape, and I didn't mind using a 28.8k connection.
Comment away, cats.
Milwaukee Bucks: 8-3, 94.3 possessions per game (11th-most in the NBA), 104.9 points scored per 100 possessions (19th), 99.2 points allowed per 100 possessions (second).

"[Redd will] probably not play a lot of minutes or anything," said coach Scott Skiles. "Just get his feet back under him in a game and see how it goes." This should hurt the production of Luke Ridnour and Carlos Delfino, but the Bucks went 7-2 without Redd and it sounds like he'll be worked back slowly.
