Obviously anything can happen, the odds are certainly in our favor. It would obviously be an upsetting loss for anyone if Philly won.

Our talent is middle of the pack. Which is the worst position to be in in the NBA. I'd trade our entire team for most any other franchise. Toronto, Orlando, Phoenix and maybe Dallas and Charlotte are the only ones I'd consider keeping our team. That's precisely how it can be both.

If our talent is middle of the pack, as you claim it is, you can expect to lose games just like this. For people to say "easy win" is just pure ignorance. And coming from the same people who bash our roster and GM every day, it's simply hypocrisy.

Before the season I would've said it was pretty bottom of the barrel (especially for a win now team), Sanders coming on as probably a top 10 defender in the league has done a lot to change that though. Without him we probably drop 10+ ranking in terms of defensive efficiency and subsequently a good amount of games we won we likely lose. Also Henson coming along as a guy who can play minutes and Beno is playing at a great rate off the bench helped change my opinion on that.
Sucks may be a strong word that is used as an overreaction at times (besides Monta, he sucks) but for what we are, a win now team, I wouldn't necessarily say we are a good team. We still will never be an easy win against any playoff quality team, without Bynum Philly is far from a playoff quality team though. Am I saying we are going to win by 30 points? Obviously not, but a loss here would be a huge upset for Philly. Personally I'd only give them about a 20% or so chance of winning this game, in my opinion that's an easy win.

Agree in a vacuum. Considering circumstances of a rested Bucks team vs a team that played last night and the game is at home makes it a whole different matter. But you already know this and ignore it since it doesn't fit your pro Jennings agenda.

No, I really wouldn't. Philly isn't good, but they aren't Cleveland or Detroit who I would and have criticized them for losing to rather hard. Jrue Holiday is the best player on either roster, he could take over the game and will Philly to the win like he's done against other teams but with our defense I don't think the odds on that are very good. At the end of the day, win or loss, we are still a .500 team in my eyes. It's not a throw away game like a loss to Miami, it's not a surprising win like beating Chicago and it wouldn't be a surprising loss to a team like the Bobcats or Pistons. It's a game we should win, but unless its some demoralizing blowout or huge blown lead a loss here wouldn't say much about the team.
