As The Bucks Turn Postgame Thread.

And the second part - I can't remember my exact quote but I said something like 'Yi had his best offensive game for a while but it was mostly just open J's and FT's'. This was not me ripping Yi, this was me saying he hit open J's and FT's that any perimeter guy should hit. I was not under any circumstance saying this was a bad thing, but I do have a desire for our PF to get to the rack. It might be just me. I do however always want him to take those open shots because he has great form on his J.

yi getting FT's is good news, at least he have been drawing fouls instead of the ball being strip away from him or being blocked. the few days of rest had been good for him, too bad he have to go to the all-star weekend, good for us yi fans we will be able to see more of him.

I'm too late I know. But I just had to weigh on the 'average' debate.

When someone says something is average over here, quite often it will mean that it was sub-par. It does depend on what context it is used in though and the tone used. It's hard to explain, there is no definite use for the word. As someone else said before, throw 'pretty' or some other word of the same meaning in there, and it does become a negative.

The way KingCammo used it in the first place, for me at least, wasn't saying that Bogut sucked. If someone just said 'that was average' by itself, then yeah, that would mean bad more often than not over here.

I should point out that as I type this, I am confusing myself a bit, but yeah. 'Bogut was average' can be misconstrued as 'Bogut was crap' pretty easily over here.

so basically you're saying that your average australian is pretty crappy?

[showtimesam]

WE shouldn't "tank", however we should trade away our backcourt and give Bogut and Yi every opportunity the rest of the season to further develop their games.

However, I still want the effort there, which im sure it would be by trading away that backcourt and some of the negative personalities (simmons).

Every player that has started a game well suddenly disapperas... Larry Kristkowiak in "The monster of Milwaukee".

I haven't read the last six or seven pages of the thread but is Yi sitting out the entire second quarter being discussed? How in the hell could that happen given how well he played in the first quarter? Simmons was playing PF and he was doing well, but there was no excuse not to bring Yi back for 5-6 minutes in the second quarter and move Simmons to SF if necessary. Instead, Yi spends the entire quarter on the bench.

If the players on this team do have issues with Krystkowiak in terms of his rotations and how he is dealing out playing time (and I have every reason to believe many of them do), this is yet another example of why they're so frustrated.

[showtimesam]

Yeah I don't know what it is, but with stotts and now LK, the rotations on a game to game basis have been completely inconsistent and idiotic.

It's amazing how often they'll leave the hot hand on the bench for quarters at a time, or go for long stretches with the "bomb squad" while we get bombed by the opposition.

Only those in the NBA....






















That was an average joke.....

Average!! Get it?!?! No?

[Matt Foley]

It was pretty funny watching the "seat Nazi" by us kicking little kids out of seats that were trying to move down. This team sucks arse right now and they won't even let anyone get a better view of craptasticball.

[GrandAdmiralDan]

I didn't see the game, so I don't have much to comment on, but...

This reminds me of Daniel "Bless his heart" Santiago.

I'm glad someone else remembers that.

One of the funniest Larry Harris quotes ever

Whats up guys, I have not read this entire thread, but I was at the game and it was very depressing. I had a sign that said "Herb Kohl...Where Complete Control Freak Happens!" and I got great reaction from other fans. I actually ran into GAD after the game b/c he saw the sign. I went up and down a few isles with it and received a lot of positive comments(more so than I was expecting). Even though this was a close game score wise the Hornets dominated throughout. The Bucks looked like a bunch of guys that have just met each other for the first time. The Hornets should have won by at least 20 IMO. The crowd was into it for the most part, but I would say that there were only about 10,000 people there tops.

P.S. Where were you Foley!? I was looking around for the Sucks jersey

Yeah, I saw him holding that sign as I was walking out into the lower bowl concourse after the game and walked right over and asked "RealGM inspired?"

I would have stuck around and chatted more, but I was on my way to go out for a drink or two with some fellow RealGMers and friends. Somehow "a drink or two" ended up turning into getting drunk. Oops.
I think I just wanted to forget about how frustrated the Bucks were making me.

IIRC, here is what that frustration led to:

- Jack Daniel's and club soda, tall
- pint of Miller Lite
- Thunder Snow shot
- some other shot that was presented to me on fire. it had brandy, tequila, and two other things in it. I don't even know who got those
- pint of Miller Lite
- bottle of Miller Lite
- bottle of Corona
- Jager-bomb. I've sworn off all caffeine and sugary soda, but still drank this. Definitely was drunk at that point
- bottle of Corona


LLLLLLLet's goooooo BBBBBucks!


Herb Kohl is not only killing this team, he's killing my liver.

It was pretty funny watching the "seat Nazi" by us kicking little kids out of seats that were trying to move down. This team sucks arse right now and they won't even let anyone get a better view of craptasticball.

It was such a ghost town in the BC that we moved down from my $29 price tier seats after the first quarter.

Section 213 row I. Closest row of normal chairs before the folding chairs start. I never have problems moving down, but that is because I am the master of the in game seat upgrade

[schweig]

Are there any tricks to recommend for moving down? It sounds real easy these days, but my luck they'd end up bringing the arm down on me.

GAD gave tips before, I don't remember all of them but the one that stood out to me the most and is the most important is scout out which seats you're going to take from your seats. Then when you move down you know where you're going and you won't have to look (which the ushers will recognize.)

[schweig]

good point, I'm guessing a big chunk of the rest are probably just stuff like "don't be a group of eight 12-year-olds giggling and looking around suspiciously"

Bogut didn't do much tonight. Pretty vanilla performance. Had some trouble finishing, tossed out a few nice assists. Also had some difficulty on the glass due to Chandler and West.

Those guys are both absolute beasts though.

I'm not sure some of you know how close Bogut is to having season ending surgery.

[schweig]

Why would anybody know? Thank you for that information.

Is that a fact? On the hip I assume? Any chance he won't come back from the allstar break?

[Matt Foley]

P.S. Where were you Foley!? I was looking around for the Sucks jersey

I only gave out one S... the rest went all over the parking structure! we can meet up if you need one next time

Whats crazy is these kids were just trying to get lower in sec. 408...

Seat Nazi: "No seat for you"

[Matt Foley]

Are there any tricks to recommend for moving down? It sounds real easy these days, but my luck they'd end up bringing the arm down on me.

1. scope out the seats ahead of time and count rows down

2. I go at halftime right when all the fancy people get up to buy food and drop science in the restrooms.

3. Carry a soda or some food with you

4. better not to have a huge jacket or jacket at all.. then it looks like your coat is on your seat and your not a thug moving lower.

5. pick a section that doesn't have an old lady working the entrance.. those bags are tough to get past (headfakes don't work)
