Her right boob.

"Hi I'm Olivia Wilde."

Her left boob.

"And welcome to the GQ Comedy Issue."

I didn't even realise she was saying anything...

26 left, 14 of them at home. Only 9 against winning teams, even though more than half the teams in the league have a winning record.

I knew the schedule was going to be soft the rest of the way, but I hadn't looked for a while and I didn't realize it was that soft. Yikes. This tank is NOT happening, guys.

Did people seriously think it was?

Anyone who's paid any attention whatsoever to the schedule knows that we've got an incredibly soft run home while the Knicks, Boston, Philly, Cleveland and Orlando all have horrendous runs home. New York at this point have had one of the easiest schedules ever seen since those stats were kept, a trick of the shortened schedule while Boston have had the leagues 5th easiest SOS AND have had played 6 less road games than us.

If Bogut gets back at all we catch New York and Boston pretty easily imo, and Philly are definitely not out of the question despite being 8 games in front of us or whatever they are. We likely catch New York and Boston regardless of whether he gets back or not.

Need to trade Ersan and Bogut asap.

Boston wins
New Jersey wins
Detroit wins
Cleveland wins
Sacremento up 16 in third quarter

Bucks win
Knicks lose.

This could have been a tankers wet dream of a day if the bucks didn't win.

This team is way to good to have a high lottery pick. You'd need to trade away Jennings, Illyasova, Dunleavy, and Gooden to have a legit shot at tanking. It's just not happening, in fact.. a 2009ish Fear the Dear type run is much more likely.

BUCKnation · Post #50 » by **BUCKnation** » Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:09 am

F Dunleavy! F Melo!

At 2:00 on thursday... F this Franchise!

Terrible, terrible win.

Thought I'd mention -

Larry Sanders

9/11/1/3 blocks / 5 fouls - 16 minutes.

That's a seriously busy statline - dude was on 25 boards per 36 pace.

This team could have been within 2 games of the fourth worst record today...

I want to see lots more Sanders. That guy is made of pure hustle. He just needs to stop shooting those cruddy jumpers, and start making the one easy layup he blows per game.

Lol Gooden played his ass off for the tank effort today as he has done his whole career.

If Bogut comes back, whose minutes get cut? Gooden's or Ersan's? I'm asking this as a serious question even though the proper answer is obvious to anybody who has watched either guy play. But will Hammond and Skiles see it the same way?

Bogut 30
Ersan 30
Gooden 36

It's all good.

I mean, how bad does the guy have to be before it's universally considered a bad game? He gave up a minimum of 8 uncontested dunks to Stoudemire, didn't help anyone else on D, shot 4-12 from the field and had 6 TO's. He also took two absolutely horrendous shot options late to give the Knicks a chance.

It's pretty much the worst game you can ever imagine anyone having while opposing Amar'e Stoudemire.

Except that it isn't even in his worst 5 games for the season.

Even ignoring the debacle on offense it's amazing how underrated defense is on this board. It's a 'boyz n the hood' moment, either people don't see it or just don't give a sh*t. Watching the dunk line Amar'e had going tonight was sickening, Bogut must have wanted to kill himself on the bench.

Eh, I'd say 90% of the board know what Gooden is. You never get anything more than that on any issue here.
