I agree Buckaroo, Griffin is human, but I think Mbah a Moute did his best to at least help nudge him out of his comfort zone. That’s all you can do with Griffin. Then just hope he’s having a bad night.

Born and raised a fan. But I try and stay level-headed. There is nothing I enjoy less than media blowhards who scream and yell about everything and anything. Thanks for the kind words.

Griffin had an off night by his standards, it’s the 10th day of a road trip and the second night of a back-to-back coming from Toronto.

He is human.

Bucks are done, stick a fork in them. Maggette, Gooden… awful transactions! They’re bad for chemistry. Have those guys ever done anything anywhere?

Maggette goes out and gets his stats and the mopes around. Nobody ever wants Gooden! Teams like the Spurs and Mavs just let him walk… the Clippers didn’t even want either of these guys for crying out loud!

They were better off keeping the team from last season in-tact. Other than a hot streak last season, were we even really that good?

Just for the sake of my curiosity: Are you a Bucks fan or an impartial observer? I really enjoy your work (here every day) and you seem to come at it from an unbiased perspective which is appreciated but somewhat frustrating at times as well. Just trying to put some context to your writing. Keep up the good work!

Otherwise it could be a long few years. I like Gooden’s fit. He seemed to be learning the system fairly well. Maggette required a change in the system but he was the only offensive consistency over the last month. I wish I had a better idea of where the Bucks were headed. We should have a pretty good idea in the next few weeks (trade deadline).

I think it’s safe to say the guys from last year have a lot of chemistry. But maybe the new guys will fit in better next season so long as every player stays healthy and they’re all able to practice together more often.

Certainly makes you wonder. There’s no doubt chemistry and team basketball > offensive talent. Bucks moved the ball well again for the first time in a while.
