yep.. 3 pt lead. that's what it was when he came back in after sitting the first 9 minutes of the 4th. go back and look at the play log if you dont believe me. then once you see it come back and offer me an apology.
Well, you are correct. The lead did diminish within a few minutes before he came back in. But we did have the lead. But I will apologize, if that makes you feel better.
When Brandon was subbed out in favor of Marshall (1:00 remaining in the 3rd), Bucks trailed by 3. With Knight on the bench, Bucks built a 98-90 lead with 4:22 reaming in the game. That's a +11 difference with him off the court.
The lead was cut to 98-95 quickly in a minute and a half right before Knight came back in.
I accept your apology.
we did build a little lead with the subs. unfortunately when dallas countered back with their starters kidd stayed asleep at the wheel reinserting Brandon too late to reverse the momentum. about that time chandler started playing with sanders like a toy and it was simply too late to right the ship. knight made his best damn attempt tho. in the end we need more g and j tho if we expect to win these type of games.
First off, I agree with you on Kidd, in general. His handling of the guys/rotations is just mind-boggling sometimes.
I probably come off as more of a "Knight hater" than I really am. I "hate" Knight running the point. I just do. And to me, that's also on Kidd, obviously. If he's playing off the ball, then I really have no problem with him. As long as he plays within the offense and not playing hero ball. So, I don't hate him. Brandon Jennings, now that guy I hated. Knight is a better player than him, and works his butt off and has a good attitude from what it seems.
I'd still love to see more of Marshall and Wolters tho. Signing Bayless was just a dumb move, period. What happened to playing the younger guys this year? It seems to be more about winning and playing the vets to help us do so. This is probably the last year where we'd have a shot at a decent lottery pick. I feel like all the talk from Lasry and Edens in the off-season was just a lie in that regard. Unless that's what they wanted, but Kidd is overriding that idea. Who knows...I'm just rambling now.
Cheers.
