This team is hacked together like so many of the NBA teams. It’s why only four teams have a chance to be champs. The Bucks can beat up on below .400 teams all they want. All it’s gonna get em is a lousier draft pick. And while i understand the enthusiasm over beating six crappy teams in a row—-yes, the D’Antoni Knicks blew–your grades are way too generous. Let me help: Gooden D….Jennings C-….Epke D+. This guy looks like the Bucks picked him with the sixth pick. He has ZERO offense, and a shooting range under two inches. Larry Sanders is better. Honestly. God, how’d you like to play for this f’d up team? Livingston went from starter to zero minutes. Luc’s minutes are a mess. Leuer never gets in now. I can’t not NOT wait until next season.

@PattiRafalskiDavison Jon Brockman is a clown, and not the answer.

I seemed to me that the Bucks were forcing the issue trying to get assists instead of just playing their game. I’m not a fan of KG being and his ‘tough guy’ demeanor, and the Bucks let him and Pierce run wild.

@DarvinHam To your point, it was good to see Jennings dig in and fight. The C defense did seem to interrupt the flow and ‘good’ open looks, but it’s a part of the game that these guys have to figure out. Watching Udoh defend tonight was a plus, even if I did cringe each time he was open for shot. This was equally important game for Boston and they came out fighting (figuratively and literally). Maybe Skiles should have put the Brockness Monster in for a few rounds? Tough night all around watching three games and loosing all three. I had nightmares!

Was a bit disappointed in the games final outcome but I feel as though we did some things really well and have a lot to improve on

@burakbr I typically try and pick five guys. Ersan was Ersan. Good enough. Wasn’t Super Ersan, but 12 and 14 is a good night.

@DarvinHam I seem to recall game after game last season when the Bucks were “just not hitting shots.” So that makes me a bit nervous about that sort of reasoning. But we’ll see what happens. Likely a win against the Bobcats and then a real big test in Milwaukee against a team that technically should be comparable to the Bucks.

Hmmm, I’m staying positive about this loss. We looked flat offensively the whole game, except for when the 2nd team came in, in the 2nd quarter. The Boston D was better than the cream puffs we’ve been facing, but I think there was a strong element of us simply just not hitting shots that we had been hitting. Drew was still open at the top of the key, Monta was still open after slashing, etc. As Jim and Jon announced, there were a lot of shots that were halfway down and popped out. I think shooting-wise, it was one of those nights. The one thing that did discourage me is how discouraged the players started to get in the 3rd (Gooden especially, though later in the 4th). So much of this game is based on confidence and steeliness when things are tight. And, the good teams are those that keep it together when the pressure turns on. Hopefully it was just frusturation about a bad shooting night, and not downright fear of being in a tight game with a good team.

I would really like a win tonight and tomorrow!!!

Ersan?
