Overrated PG problem...

I'm tired of all these posts about our lack of a "real" point guard. For every team with a good PG, I can show you a good team without a good PG, and conversely, for every bad team with a PG, i can show you a bad team with a PG. Granted, we would be a better team with a true established bona fide point guard, but so would every team; these players aren't everywhere.

I'm going to outline why I believe the PG problem is overrated:

1. It's not like we won't be able to score.

Everyone is acting as if our offense will go into utter chaos. Like "O no, ellis can't run the point. how is he gonna be effective/run the offense/score/do anything?" Trust me, ellis will shoot over 45% and score about 20+ a game. And Maggette will drive and play his 1-on-5 basketball and get his buckets, and Jax will heave shots like there's no tomorrow. It's not like Baron distributes the ball like CP3 or Nash either...

We'll be able to score 105+ points a game again, which is damn good considering he lose the bearded one. Not last year, but still a top 5 offense in the league.

2. Team with scorers don't need that good of PGs. Boston. Denver. Dallas before Kidd. Lakers, Houston, and others only have decent PGs. It helps a lot to have the parkers and billups of the world, but isn't necessary.

3. Monta isn't playing point for more than 20 minutes. We brought in several people to do that. Plus, Maggette and Jax will handle the ball a lot, if not as much as Monta.

In another words...we'll be fine. I'd rather worry about our youth than our PG.

Bogut Contract Influences Biedrins'?????

Andrew Bogut was rewarded with a ridiculous contract. What is its impact?

I'm debating how close Biedrins' contract will match Boguts'.

On one hand, Bogut plays a bigger part in the Bucks' plans and offense, and produces better stats. On the other hand, Biedrins is younger, with possibly more potential...

Obviously we're not gonna offer him $80 mil, but 50-60 now looks mandatory....
