Well, he scored on the next 5 possessions and if he wanted to would have scored on every one after that had we not been down 12 within 2 minutes. That game was never close.
yep ..
was anyone on the edge of their seat this game ? I know i wasnt . in a truely close contest you feel the need to watch every play intensely ...watching this game , i didnt feel that need .. and it sounded like nobody in the bc did either .
the injury crap is just that , crap .. When did the bucks get an elevated premise ? Meaning all nba teams lose a starter here or there ..so we were down one starter , thats not an excuse . The only time i think injuries are legitamate excuse is if you go down 3 starters . that goes beyond the standard , and is a legitamate reason .
we shouldnt have to walk such a fine line .. meaning , ohh no were down 1 starter we losttt ...thats weak . a team is built with the intent of having capable backups for that reason .
i dont want to open a can of worms . cause i know this was a project here ..but im only being honest . As many great things as skiles is doing here , that i do appreciate .. I see some blunders out there , or questionable decisions .. and im starting to question what the hell kind of offense is he running here ? We dont even have offense on so many possessions . Its like the bucks took all their practice time and coached defense and ignored that other half of the court . Why does it have to be one or the other ? Its like the pendleum swings to the exaxt opposite side of the spectrum . WE ARE GOING TO DEFEND , even if we dont have any offense at the other side . I know this roster is not overly talented , but imo , the offense could be ALOT better then it is and i put that on skiles at this point . the pick and roll on this club is a joke , were rarely getting our quality players the ball .. RJ could be getting alot more touches , nothing in this offense is quick , its always projected . CV is out there playing basicaly pickup ball every time he touches it , anywhere hes gets the ball he immediatly goes into one on one mode ...its a mess and it needs to be cleaned up before these trends become habit . throwing redd into this unstructralized chatoic mess of an offense is only going to lead to more seperation of 5 man offense .. Skiles needs to take control of this .
