If Golden State could play the same defense they do without Bogut when Bogut is actually on the court they'd be a top 4 seed.

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on, but he's just not meshing all that well with the team. Wanna swap Ellis and Udoh for him this summer?

Warriors beat another good team without Bogut. How long before people start to acknowledge the elephant in the room that they are a better team without him.

I don't think Bogut is the problem. Same with how Amar'e slowed down the Knicks. It's just about chemistry!

I'm not sure that's exactly right. But its interesting. When Bogut is in there he clogs up a lot of room on offense. And on defense they rely on him way to much. Chemistry a problem imo.

its just like what happened with us last year once he went out. we got better too. hes just not a good player if he is the focal point of anything on offense...... and his defense is terribly overrated as well. hes still above average defender but hes not some gamechanger there anymore like he was . his decline is just sad but it dates to the elbow injury.... all these multiple surgeries and procedures since that incident have just compounded it all. hes the mickey rourke meets joan rivers of the league at this point.

I look OK from the right angle with the right lighting and a good photographer.

Yeah..the Bogut situation speaks for itself. Just look at today's wiretap. He was a sinking asset for the Bucks. What we've already received from Monta and Udoh is better than a guy that is paid 13plus mil and doesn't play. It's impossible for the Bucks to have lost that trade.

Couldn't think of a funnier line of reasoning when talking about the guy we traded for Monta Francis.
