If this game is any indication, the tank is in more than good hands!

This game looks like bad porn, and I'm not talking about Corey Maggette.

The studio team reports these are simply growing pains for a young team missing Reggie Jackson. I wish I was kidding.

It’s been a bad decade. But I think this is the worst team we have fielded. We needed this but it’s painful. Here’s to hoping we get a star in the draft and spend wisely.

Well, for sure it’s the worst. 4 of our 5 best players were either traded for nothing, waived, or have been injured for a couple months straight. This is like taking one of our (already bad) teams from the last few seasons and only playing the bench players.

I only hope we don’t try to “make a splash” in the summer just to pull ourselves from the gutter. We need a few seasons in this zone at minimum.

Solid tank loss. The bucks are averaging a +12.1 ..... and that includes losses. When they are on, they are just blowing teams out.

On the plus side, sekou looked pretty solid. He picked Giannis up full court and mostly kept him out of the transition game. In the half court, he mostly forced him into contested jumper. Obviously, Giannis still scored a bunch of points, but he actually had to work for them. He's just that good.

And wood continues to impress. He still does some dumb stuff, but 18/11 off the bench is just amazing production.

lol at knight though. I have no idea why he's on the court. I think he might have touched the ball 10 times and managed to turn it over 3 of them.

Crazy thing is, with that Kyrie injury the Nets and Orlando are both going to finish like 10 games below .500 and neither will have a lottery pick to show for it. Pistons could have very much went the other route and pushed for the 7th seed this year and pushed to get Blake back for the playoffs, but thank god that isn't the route they went. We've been waiting for a proper rebuild for a decade lets just hope they don't go out and spend big this summer and they realize its a process and we need to hit at least one really solid draft pick before we blow a bunch of money in FA.

Blake, Drummond(henson and knight), Reggie, Josh Smiths contract. That is a lot of money tied into nothing at the moment.

Too bad we're doing this in an awful draft but oh well. I don't have stomach to watch this but good to see Rose limited to low minutes and Bruce Brown almost getting a triple double, the kid is going to be good, we need to sign him long term.

Coach Casey needs to chill... I have no problem with Bruce Brown and Luke Kennard being the point guards of the Future.

This team needs some real, talented, 2 way wings in the draft. If we dont get at least 1 of Isaac Okoro, Patrick Williams, or Devin Vassel this draft imma be disappointed

The last team to win a championship without and all-star pg was Miami with their big 3 . You really need multiple all-star level perimeter players to even be competitive.

It's a wings league now. Of course you need good players at every spot, but if you look at finals MVP's and overall winning, it boils down to best 2 way wings win. That's what you see all over the league the past 10 years.

bruce “not a point guard” brown with 17-10-7, not bad.

I really liked the dynamic he and luke had together. okoro could fit right into the same mold.

Yep. Luckily we’ll be relieved of all but Blake at season’s end.

It's lacking the surefire franchise player prospects that last years' draft had in the top 2 but I think 4-10 roughly are pretty standard good prospects, probably a bit better than last year in that range.

This draft is also more of an unknown with so many injuries, the Wiseman situation and with Ball playing in an obscure league so it's difficult to project a lot of these guys.

If the smallest position on the floor can threaten a triple double... I can't fathom why you wouldn't want to build around that.

Ed, draft some stars to play with Bruce, Christian, and Sekou.

Agree! 8-) 8-) 8-)

PG - Brown
SG - Kennard/SVI
SF - DRAFT WINGS Okoro? Snell or trade Snell to draft another SF/PF
PF - Sekou
C - Wood, Donte Hall?

King is a long wing but needs 20 lbs of muscle.

Trade Rose for a first rounder this off season season.

not sure why we just dont waive knight give bone his minutes dude has the same issues he had when we drafted him a undersized shooting guard trying to play point guard with no court vision/passing ability.
