[...] Less than a month ago, I asked Skiles if he could do anything other than hope his best players would start making shots when they were having a bad game. He asked if I had any suggestions and then simply said no. Does that sound like a team you’d want to coach? Or a coach that seems like he’s going to be able to get something more out of his two best players? [...]

Reke is an exciting player to watch and Ive always been intrigued by his game personally but he is equally as frustrating as Monta Ellis. Reke plays horrible defense and is another ball dominator without a true position. I think he’d be a worse fit than Ellis with Jennings personally but who knows.

It’s a shame that Toronto extended Derozan I would have liked to have seen BJ and Demar on the court together that would have been entertaining

Patti you are missing my point, which is that Sanders and Henson have as high of a probability to hit any of the shots they take as Ellis and Jennings do.

I’ve thought about that same thing. Tyreke has struggled trying to do everything and Jennings trying to do everything. Tyreke might be a better compliment to Jennings than Ellis. Let BJ play point and Tyreke play SG. It would give the Bucks that entertainment factor they seem to strive for!

Hmmm….we don’t want Jennings & Ellis to take risky shots, but it’s okay if Sanders & Henson do?

I thought Skiles was trying to get everyone on the team to look for open man and select shots with highest probability of scoring.

The problem was not that there weren’t enough shots taken by everyone. The problem was that NOBODY could get the ball to actually go down through the net.

I want monta to get traded. He will play better. He clearly has no chemistry with Jennings. I miss watching him go off for 40+
