Totally, I woulda killed to have been at this game. Watched it with my bro on a 20” monitor and we still freaked out. I’ve watched 20-30 games this year, and this is the first one that I actually watched the post game. Lucky guy!

Just when I think I get out…

Trade deadline drama now turns into Brandon Jennings drama. These next 2 weeks or so are going to be very interesting, not just for the Bucks trying to stay in the playoffs, but for the future of this team. The Bucks could very well have all 3 guards back next year or just as easily have none of them back.

Maybe Jennings needs to spend the month of Feb. in the D league in the future, something is wrong with that guys psyche. He has completely vanished from games recently and he should be the third option at the guard spot.

Personally, I am still of the mindset that Brandon and Monta need to go in the off season. Then, hopefully the Bucks can bring in some younger talent that can actually provide hope.

I wouldn’t feel too sad yet apdamico, Tobias Harris has been playing against second stringers mostly or in garbage minutes. Also, we still need to see how he responds when teams start scouting him out more, and on a team that is the second worst in the NBA, the points have to come from someone. Not only that, when he has been on the court he has been able to score a lot of points but he has given up more. I still think he will be a good role player and maybe decent starter but those aren’t too hard to find. If he averages around 15 a game eventually, thats the same as Reddick. Yes we need a good small forward to start since Dunleavy is better coming off the bench but it didn’t seem like Harris is a natural SF and Henson probably will be more productive at PF.

6 straight close games, starting with the 76er win by 2 right before the all-star break. We are 3-3 in those 6-games, so one could say that the breaks evened out over the course of this stretch.

There’s something to be said for staying positive ! After all the heartbreaks we’ve suffered in Feb., and that 103-102 loss to ATL at the BMO BC Sat. nite- we are rewarded with back 2 back road wins !

What fantastic efforts in both wins, down late in the game by 5 at Dallas, 6 at Houston and the BUCKS dig deep,and FIGHT HARD for final 3 mins. Im so happy they found ways to WIN these games-instead of finding ways to lose them. Lets hope this continues through March. The TEAM effort is enjoyable to watch, and lets hope Brandon can join in on TEAM effort.

GO BUCKS GO

The Redick trade has changed some things but not exactly what we suspected. I’ve come to the conclusion that Redick was brought in because the Bucks had decided the same thing that most of us had. Monta Ellis is not a sufficient shooting guard. So Boylan and Hammond brainstormed and decided to put the ball in his hands and let Redick play more 2 guard.

This probably the real reason Brandon is reacting so poorly. Also, Ellis is responding so well to the change.

Stay tuned. It should be a BUMPY ride the rest of the way.

Great games by Dunleavy and Henson in my opinion. We weren’t matching up well and those guys came in and turned things around.

On the sad side Harris is still coming of the bench for Orlando, but he’s been playing the PF position for Orlando and has shot 5 of 10, 7 of 9, and 9 of 12 for Orlando in the 3-games he has played since the trade.

Orlando has a new leading scorer coming off the bench since the Redick trade and his name is Tobias Harris !

You talking about the guy in the grey shirt and red hat (the one that is screaming it looks like)?

What a great comeback on the road and after a tough game
the night before!

I wonder if the grades for Sanders in these
post-game posts are too low. The guy is so good
that maybe we’re already taking him for granted.

Awesome statistics in assists and steals for Monta,
but generally speaking, way too many minutes and shots.
I hope that 24 shots and 45 minutes are the exception
rather than the rule. All-in-all, great stuff from Monta
– congrats! — but I am still guarding my enthusiasm.

Even as I want to applaud Monta without getting carried
away, I want to encourage Brandon without indulging his
funk. Whatever it is, Brandon, get over it; no one is
perfect and we understand that; we like you and want you
back in the game.

I’m rooting for Monta and Brandon and J.J. to play well both
physically and mentally. As has been pointed out by others
in this venue, there are plenty of minutes to go around.
We need all three of these guys to step up consistently!
