No idea...I had the Heat broadcast on LP so I missed all of that. Supposedly Redd was getting over something last week too. I was tempted to say something about how it'd be interesting to see the Bucks play without Redd for a game in case he has a slight injury, but nah, that's just foolish. We don't have nearly the depth to mess around. If Simmons, Bell, Mason and Villanueva were all healthy and playing well I might be more curious.
I don't know. For me it seemed like LK was giving a disclaimer for Redd's absence in the 4th quarter and then played it like "Redd wasn't feeling 100% and we were getting contributions from other guys"
For all the complaining regarding Redd's 4th quarter play it should be noted that Miami went on a 15-6 run in the last three minutes and plenty of that was Wade. Now I know he got more agressive in the 2nd half but Redd was doing a decent job defensively on Wade and we couldn't score at the end of the game.
It will be interesting to see how Redd responds to the benching and how he feels about us winning with little contributions from him offensively. Hopefully he will see we have other guys on this team who need to be involved for us to be successful.
I think it should be noted the result (granted far different opponent but) of Mo missing the game against Detroit vs the absence of Redd for most of the night.
Without Mo we were an absolute mess, without Redd we banded together.
