[Editor's Note: coachk brings a little reality check this morning.]

My optimistic musings are a thing of the past.  I'm a cynic this morning, my coffee cup already half empty.

Milwaukee has no chance against Orlando tonight.  The Bucks have lost 9 of 10, including consecutive losses to the lowly Hawks and Knicks.

Michael Redd's knee will keep him from scoring, if not from playing.  Earl Boykins is too small to play in the NBA.  Dan Gadzuric v. Dwight Howard?  Two words:  Ms. Match.  

Don't bother Pacer fans.  Finish your taxes. Watch 24.  Check out The Black Donnellys.  (Oh Jenny....) Whatever you do, no need to catch the Bucks-Magic.  Tomorrow will dawn with the Pacers needing a win in Philly to stay within a game of Orlando.  I can feel it.

Psych.
