I thought for sure that the Bucks were going to have a real problem matching up with the Bulls’ frontcourt on Saturday night, but was I ever wrong.
Yi handled Tyrus Thomas very well, neither Wallace or Bogut were much of a factor (although Bogut did chip in with two big baskets late), and Mason did a great job on Luol Deng. And, thanks to Michael Redd and Yi, the Bucks outrebounded the Bulls 47-45. Lovely.
Mo Williams is starting to worry me, though. Not one damn free throw in three games? Come on!

If I had to make a decision based on what I saw on Saturday night, I would say that Bogut was the rookie and Yi was the third-year veteran. Sure, Yi had a turnover or two, but he looked sharp and ran the floor well all night long.
If there was ever a question of the effort he would put in, I think that was answered with his first home game.

Good call. Something of a role reversal with Bogut picking up 5 fouls in 18 minutes and Yi logging 33 minutes with only 3 fouls. Hopeful Bogut used up his only 5 foul/ o block/ o steal/ 0 free-throw game…
