Mayo scores 21 off the bench: Brandon Knight adds 20 to lead Bucks to win over Kings: First half of the season thoughts

I haven't had much of a chance to watch the Milwaukee Bucks on TV or anywhere this season, except when they played the Orlando Magic at the Amway Center.  I'm disappointed that with having a winning record at 30-23 they don't have one all-star on the team in the All-Star game, even though Brandon Knight deserved to be there, they are not on ESPN or TNT.  At 30-23 coach Jason Kidd has done an amazing job and deserves to be in the conversation for Coach of the Year.   I thought he did good in Brooklyn last year, and is doing great this year. The Bucks are 15-10 at home and 8-2 in their last 10 games.  Milwaukee is sitting in 6th place in the Eastern Conference.   I'm impressed with the way they are playing this season even without 2014 NBA Draft number two pick Jabari Parker.   I had Jabari Parker or Nerlens Noel of the Sixers as my top two to win rookie of the year.  



  Last night the Milwaukee Bucks went up against a struggling Sacramento Kings.  The Bucks defeated the Kings 111-103.  Mayo scored 21 points to lead the way. Brandon Knight added 20 points. Khris Middleton added a double-double by scoring 15 points and 10 rebounds.  The Bucks have a bunch of solid players who play great together.   Here are the stats for each team.
