Skiles philosophy seems to be that he wants to play defense and get the last shot. He wants to have confidence in his defense it appears. For what it’s worth, I agree with you. Too much risk in trusting the D with a three or four second differential. Wy not extend the game?

BTW I might have to put my bid in for John Salmons as the most clutch player in the NBA this season. I think he’s hit more shots to tie the game up or win a game since coming to Milwaukee than Kobe has hit all season. I might be slightly exaggerating, but honestly, its damn close.

I have a question that I can’t figure out the answer to alone. Why when the opposing team has the ball and the opposing team is up 1 with 18 seconds left in the game and 14 seconds on the shot clock, would a team not foul?

From my perspective, that is a coaching mistake. Someone please enlighten me. My logic is if you are losing and their is even a mere chance that you won’t get the ball back, you have to foul. You can’t win if your down and don’t get that ball back. I’d rather take my chances at down maybe 3 with the ball in the Bucks hands and ~10 seconds over 4 seconds with the ball MAYBE in the Bucks hands and down 1. This game reminded me of the game against Orlando earlier this season when Dwight Howard knocked the ball away and the Bucks didn’t foul so they didn’t get the ball back. Again please enlighten me so I won’t get enraged again the next time this happens.

I hadn’t realized he’s been playing so well, I’ll admit that. That’s pretty impressive. Earlier in the season he seemed to define an “average” player, but perhaps he’s turned the corner. Kudos to him.

Expectations are there now for the Bucks. It seems as if they were on this Feb/March tear because they were playing well (OK, stating the obvious) and they didn’t know any better. Now, the word is out and the expectations are there.

Also, this is a young team with little playoff experience. Miami and the Bobcats are stepping it up. The Bucks need to return the favor and the energy – especially in these ‘playoff like’ games.

The stupid mistakes (turnovers, Stackhouse stepping out of bounds, giving the ball to the other team in the 4th quarter) need to stop.

I would like to see them go in as a dangerous team – rather than one who is just glad that they made it.

At least the Bulls have already gone fishin’ – so, I still believe we will be in the playoffs.

You disrespected Felton in the chat, while he is in the midst of a career stretch.

16.5 ppg, 66% fg, 38 assts with only 7 turnovers over the past six (not including tonight’s game). He’s shot about 48% from the field and 40% from three since the Jackson trade, too. It’s a career year for a guy who is definitely a top-half point guard — not merely “average,” as you suggested.

And that’s not even mentioning his defensive ability, which is also top-half.
