While I wish the team was able to provide the same level of intensity for each opponent, I don’t think this is a fatal flaw. Clearly this team can beat anyone and in the playoffs the intensity is required every night. I think that could bode well for this team

Or if the bucks would make their free throws. In any close game, they can come back to haunt you

Yea but if a few bounces goes the Bucks way in the final 2 minutes the Bucks would have won without a great performance from Larry. So there goes that theory.

It’s time to forget about bashing “up and down” Brandon or “I love to shoot no matter what” Monta. This version of the Milwaukee Bucks rides or falls on one Lawrence Sanders. When he is dominant on D and makes a few shots we tend to win. When he doesn’t we almost certainly lose. He played well against Miami and we won. Not at all in Detroit and we lost. Simple.

WHAAAAA! I can come up with numerous reasons for why the Bucks played so badly, but it seems to me that we lost our “deep bench” that had been so effective. Meanwhile, the Pistons discovered theirs.

Beno, Dunleavy and Sanders used to be the heart of that squad and they all struggled, but they also played hard against the Heat. There was little effort to rebound or defend the paint and it didn’t help that LRMBM went back to the locker room at the start of the game.

They needed some fresh legs and clear heads. Dalembert, Harris, Henson,Joel, Lamb and Gooden was the talent pool waiting to play. Drew got the call, it was too little and too late.

Hope they get rested. There are more challenging games in the near future.

Go Bucks!
