Last season, the Bucks were the worst interior offensive team, averaging just 35.7 points in the paint per game.

"That has put so much pressure on our perimeter shooting," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "Both of those guys (Stephen Jackson and Beno Udrih) are finishing-type players and their numbers show that. And Shaun (Livingston) will go in there around the rim and be creative and finish.

"We're focused, of course, on our perimeter shooting. But we always come back to (what it would mean) if we would shoot a higher percentage around the rim, get some dunks and some easy baskets that other teams get.

"Then you don't have a tendency to overreact to Carlos (Delfino) missing a three. When all the pressure is on your perimeter shooting all the time, it's not a good mix."
