Redd was atrocious in the 4th quarter for most of the 1st half of the season, but he's playing much much better now throughout the whole game.

How much of Sessions 4.6 points and 48% shooting is him playing in garbage time after we've blown a team out. I can't remember the last time he made a significant positive play in the 4th quarter cause he's usually benched right away from turning the ball over or making some boneheaded play.

Well, the Bucks have only blown out a couple of teams. And yes, he got yanked against MN early in the 4th but usually he's playing to the 6-minute mark, then gives way to Ridnour. He made quite a few significant plays in the 4th Monday vs. the Wiz -- hitting unaware Redd in the arm with a pass on the semi-break was great on so many levels -- and against New Jersey he was at his best, making plays left and right.

I can't believe you wrote that in green after the Wiz game, where Nick Young came off the bench and torched Redd in the 2nd quarter. What would be so wrong with Mike coming off the bench? Allen Iverson came off the bench vs/ the Bucks in the first Detroit game after he was "punished" for missing a Thanksgiving day practice and the Bucks had no answer. If I was Curry, I'd start Rip now that he's back and just kill teams with AI coming off the bench. Ginobili comes off the bench. On the old Bucks teams, Junior Bridgeman killed off the bench and Sidney came off the bench his first two years. If Skiles started Charlie and brought Redd off the bench, the advantage would be huge - and Redd wouldn't be so gassed late in the games.
