New Acquisition Rest of Season Prediction

[Baddy Chuck]

40-42. 8th seed ftw.

This but with Redick at least they'll be a little more enjoyable mediocre wins.

[BUCKnation]

I have never been so disinterested in the team as I am now. I honestly dont know/care how they will do. If they go on some crazy FTD run or Monta learns how to play basketball that could reel me in.

As of right now, I have no interest in winning the 8th seed and getting curb stomped by Miami.

Hammond: "Bucks in win-now mode"

Jesus Christ...

Oh My Sweet Jesus.

[LUKE23]

I'll say 15-14 finish. .500 in true Bucks fashion. We pull a win against Miami out of our ass and lose 4-1.

I see them finishing 17-12 with an overall record 43-39, 7th seed

*side note....I can see why ATL pulled out, they play the Bucks 4 times still

7- whatever.
We **** suck

lolcats.

those are awesome games to choose for wins.

I didn't need to read those Hammond quotes. Hoping we can at least solidify the 8th spot.

I hadn't seen that story until Luke linked it above.

Ugh

"We haven't been playing quite as well lately and we're hoping we can at least solidify this eight spot."

How unbelievably awful....This franchise is hot garbage.

[linguini8]

Unreal.

"you know you don't know what it will look like in a few years if those guys are playing for ORL or someone else and we think about how we didnt decide to keep them, but this was about now, trying to win games now, we're trying to solidfy the 8th spot, maybe move up to 7, trying to win games this year."

[kid idioteque]

17-12 sounds about right to me.

[worthlessBucks]

I'm not going to go through each game and mark off wins or losses, but I'd expect 16-13 with a 2 or 3 game variation on either side as a possibility. Possibly even better if they match up well with Atlanta in their 4 games. Win-now baby.

Ugh

We most certainly can't trade the players most responsible for us 'not playing quite well'. Have to just add the token <deadline or offseason> new guy and hope it works in our favor.

For the record, it does seem like Hammond is covering his butt big time with those quotes, but I'm not absolving him of his crimes. He is the one on the line with the other GM being taken to the woodshed each time. "But Ferry backed out!" -- Should have had a contingency plan for the contingency plan for the contingency plan.

[Oscar71]

13-16. Still clinches the 8th. seed. Lather, Rinse, Repeat....

[adam10]

Happy to stick my neck out and predict that JJ will make an impact for us and make us a better team.

[adam10]

In saying that, 8th seed and swept.

[unklchuk]

"Both are really good guys and both are guys that I think have a chance to be in this league for a long time," Hammond said. "You do look up and you don't know what it's going to look like in a few years. But his is kind of more about trying to win now."

I don't believe for a second that Hammond didn't get bullied into this move by Herb Kohl.

Kohl gave him a hard line directive to execute this type of a move and this is what Hammond could get done.

Blame it on his negotiating skills for the actual pieces, but he was put down this path by Kohl.

I couldn't agree more.

Your interpretation jibes with the attitudes that Paschke and Davis took on Friday's Roundtable. They were like the court discussing an edict by the King. One that the King hadn't publicly linked his name to. Not wasting energy on IF it should have been done. Just commenting on what it might mean. Paschke was in an odd mood. Perhaps a veteran observer pissed but silent at the way things are now.

Right now I don't see much point in my whining or raging about it. It is just is the way it is. What can't be cured must be endured.
