Wisconsin Man Murders Bucks

For no reason, I happened to catch a Bucks-Pacers game the other day. Both teams stink, so this was a real stinker. The only thing that made the game exciting, and the part I happened to catch, was the fact that Marquette alum Travis Diener came into the game and proceeded to bring the Pacers back from a 10 point deficit to an eight point win.

Diener had 15 points, all three-pointer, in the fourth quarter. The Pacers were down by 10, Diener came in, and suddenly they were winning. And this guys isn't a starter?

Now that Larry Bird is running this team, maybe he needs to make some moves. I think he should see if he can pry Steve Novak away from the Rockets. Novak and Diener played together at Marquette, so they know how the other guy plays. Both are serious long-range threats. With two other shooters in Mike Dunlevy and Danny Granger, this whole team could shoot the lights out, if they wanted. If O'Neal and Tinsley ever come back, you might have a team there.

It's just an idea, though. Probably won't happen.
