By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) A Chris Mannix article titled "Redd State" talked about how Michael Redd is transforming his body and his game. New Milwaukee Coach Scott Skiles is trying to change the mindset of the Bucks. "People who watched the Bucks the last couple of years know that when the team got behind, [the players] caved in and took a loss," Skiles said. Teams tend to follow the mindset of their leader, so that is hardly a ringing endorsement of Redd. Indeed, Mannix quoted a scout who said of Redd's defense, "He's O.K. off the ball but you can go at him one-on-one." Skiles is challenging Redd to elevate his defensive game by assigning the sharpshooter to guard the opposing team's top perimeter player.

Playing Alexander would hurt the Bucks and Skiles knows it, and, more importantly, has the juice to avoid it.

By Benjy Lipsman A year ago, many -- us included -- believed the Bulls were on the verge of competing for the Eastern Conference title, even if it wasn't quite yet time to reserve Grant Park for any rallies.

By Kelly Dwyer Scott Skiles is back in Chicago, coaching the Bucks, and don't think that Bulls fans wouldn't love to see Tyrus Thomas run rings around Milwaukee while Malik Allen shoots 1-11 for the Bucks. Of course, given Skiles' luck, it will probably be Allen running rings around Thomas.

By Matt Watson Is Skiles the right man for the job? I figured no one would know better than a Bulls fan, who watched Skiles the last four and a half years.
