Andrew Bogut was back in the line up Saturday after missing the last five games with back spasms. Dwight Howard (ill with a stomach virus) was missing from the Magic, which left Bogut free to do his best impersonation of Howard. He posted 31 points, 18 rebounds, and 2 blocks in the mismatch. Bogut was 13-of-20 from the field and a Dwight-like 5-of-16 from the line, including eight straight misses in the fourth quarter when Orlando played Hack-a-Buck. Milwaukee held on to beat the depleted Magic (down four sick players), 96-85.Bogut is averaging 13.1 points and 11.5 rebounds in the 13 games he's played this season. He scored 11 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in an 88-78 loss to Miami tonight.
Andre Miller was suspended for "making excessive and unnecessary contact" with Blake Griffin in Portland's 100-91 win over the Clippers on Sunday. I didn't see the play (it isn't in the highlights), but Griffin's a pretty physical player. Are you sure he can't take a bump from an aging point guard? Or has he already reached the superstar status for calls? More likely it was a referee reaction to the flagrant foul, ejection, and two game suspension of L.A.'s Brian Cook. Miller will miss Tuesday's game against Steve Nash and the Suns.
