Bucks Could Move Sessions To Bench
Sessions shot just 10 for 33 in the final four games of the team's recent home stand, and committed seven turnovers on Saturday night against Portland. "It's a maturation process," coach Scott Skiles said of Sessions' recent woes. "There finally becomes a book on you. You've played enough that people know what you do. "They take it away from you, and you've got to make adjustments accordingly." Skiles admitted that he has considered shuffling the lineup around, but point guard Luke Ridnour has struggled as well. "We're considering everything right now," Skiles said, "not because anybody in the lineup deserves to come out, or for that matter, anybody off the bench necessarily deserves to start. Sometimes just changing the rotations can help." Via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Road Players Perform Best In Milwaukee?

"We made a point to Charlie and the team that it's nothing we ever want to happen again," Skiles said after practice Tuesday. "You know, (we) don't want to blow it out of proportion. But anything that gives the impression that we're not serious and focused at all times is not the correct way we want to go about our business." Villanueva posted the following message on his account during halftime of the game: "In da locker room, snuck to post my twitt. We're playing the Celtics, tie ball game at da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up." Villanueva didn't think it was an issue at the time, but understands why Skiles would be upset. "That wasn't the case at all, because I was very into the game -- as you can tell, the way I played," Villanueva said of being distracted. "But you can interpret it two different ways. You can look at it like, 'OK, he's definitely going to step up' versus, 'Oh, he's really not into the game, he's not paying attention.' But that wasn't the case at all. That wasn't my intention at all." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Bucks Mar 2009 Archive
