I finished this game thread in under .3 seconds. Replay confirmed my letting my finger off the mouse before the red light went off on my monitor.

Carrie Underwood co-hosts the CMA's tomorrow. She will look good.

Gus Johnson had better calls before, this one is my fav: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pezmMkBy3is (He makes an unhuman noise when the guy gets the bucket)

This should be interesting. Bucks leading the league in rebounding right now...I think they still are anyway. The rebounding in this one will have to at least be average.

All the controversy about the game, and it wasn't really mentioned how nicely AA will fit in with this first team, IMO. There's going to be a feeling out process, but once they get comfortable with each other, I think this first team is going to be great.

They should be great, but that's going to require them to get their heads out of their asses and play some team ball. When the starting unit guys were in, there was absolutely no ball movement and the overall flow of the game completely dropped off. It was all one on one bull with everyone else just standing around.

Single game +/- numbers don't mean a lot, but when you look at them in the context of that game alone, I think it was quite indicative of what we saw with our eyes(or at least for me). Take a look. All the starters, save for Afflalo(who was saved by playing some with our bench) were in the negative. The entire bench, save for AC who was -5 in 8 minutes , were all in the positive by double figures. Nenê's -13 is the craziest thing there, as he also led the team in minutes with 40. That means we somehow outscored the Bulls by 14 points in the 8 whole minutes he was on the bench. I'm not going to look much into that, just thought it was interesting.

Our bench is awesome though. Or I guess I should say Lawsome! Looking even better than last year, and that was a bench that led the league in almost every category. If and when our starters figure **** out - which I fully expect to happen with Afflalo replacing the dead weight that was Dahntay Jones(and AC for a few games this year) - we should roll.

I think there are some issues with the starting lineup, but I think those will work themselves out. Like him or hate him, the starting lineup last year seemed to get into a comfort zone once they had a starting lineup that wasn't changing constantly with Dahntay.

With Martin missing some games, and AC/Graham/AA all having started at the two guard spot, I think it's fair to give them some time to figure out playing together with a set lineup.

120 dollars on Denver -3.5


You better win!

Maybe time to put someone on the floor who can actually create some offense...? Not sure why GK feels the need to play as much of the 2nd quarter as possible without Melo every single game but it really pissed me off last year and it hurts the team.

Chauncey, AC and Lawson all in at the same time?

Our bigs gotta do better in the second half! AC came in and doin his thing AGAIN! Karl putting AC along with JR & Ty that felt weird.

Hope second half be better. Ball gotta move.

Give it up for Mo Williams, he's just have a very very good game tonight.

not really surprised to see us down...
not watching the game but checking box score while at work..

we only just scrapped by the Bulls, who i don't think we took serious enough, and this Bucks team drove the Bulls down to the wire...so to see us down is no surprise...

plenty of games left in the season

Early in the season, but a very bad loss. Miami and Atl I expected... not Milwaukee.

This is very disappointing.

The **** Bucks?

Easily the worst lost since the Nets blowout.

Carrie > the Nuggets.

Disappointing loss, but Jennings seems like a stud from the box score.

It's the last game of our road trip, and back to back on the road is always tough.

Didnt catch the game, but from the box score we seems to be trailing since the 2nd quater and whenever we try to start a run, the bucks will answer back.

What a disappointing end to the road trip after such a promising start.

We are a good team, but we need to act like one on nightly basis. Good to see J,R getting tuned.

LAL coming in hot! Gotta bounce back. AA Ty should do better at home!

It was disappointing loss! to the BUCKS at that!

Well, the FGAs balanced back out with us getting 88 and I think Bucks gettings 82....at least we had shots......and then the question would be were they good shots and did we find the open man?

The rebounding is still anemic. It's ok to lose the rebounding battle if your FG% is high and you're winning, but if it's a close one to a lesser team and your shooting is atrocious you have to match rebound for rebound.

How many games have we only seen rebounds in the 30s.....Melo did more than his part with 10 rebounds, but it then gets anemic with Kenyon, Nene and Birdman all getting 7 apiece.

At least Camby got 15 rebounds on nights like this....and we still had our token big men to grab 6 or 7 each to round it out.

Look......we need one of those guys, preferrably Nene to step up and grab those rebounds big every night.....at least 12 a night. If it's going to be a split we really should aim for like 9 a piece between the four big men....that's still only 36. There's got to be more.
