Keep Bogut.

Trade everyone else.

Discuss.

Agreed.

I probably missed the reason, but why wasn't CV in there for Yi when our offense stagnated? Every time Yi got the ball I thought he was gonna turn it over.

Hopefully when we trade everyone else we'll at least finally get a starting caliber 3 or 4 on the roster.

Putrid last quarter, didn't score until 7 mins left whereas the Jazz scored 8. Lineup at the start of the 4th was Gadz, Ruffin, Redd, Bell, Mo ????

How many shots did Bogut get in the 4th? horrible

Horrible coaching tonight. How many times do I have to say not to start the 4th quarter with the scrub lineup when it's a close game?

Horrible.

Went away from the post in the fourth. Predictable.

Team caved in the fourth. Predictable.

Refs were f'ing horrible.

I hate this team so much it's amazing.

I'll give em the next two home games, if they lose em, I'm on the tank bandwagon.

Bogut is stepping up, only positive I can see right now.

The Jazz made adjustments. They did a great job of denying Bogut the ball in the 4th. They are simply better then us across the board. I thought we played well but I figured it wouldn't keep up. We've played some decent basketball the past few games. Unfortunately it's been against 3 very good teams on the road.

I just heard it would be Michael Redd bobble head night...would anyone like to join me in a bobble head burning after that game?

Why are people giving up on Yi so easily?

We need to get rid of our backcourt starters.

LK has officially lost my confidence as a coach...he's terrible. Atleast when we lost and scored 110 the games were exciting.

What's **** scary is that the biggest reason I don't LH to be fired is that I'm petrified Kohl will replace him with someone even worse.

Oh yeah, anyone that thinks Mo is a starting PG on a good team is a homeristic bum.

Other than Bogut and maybe Bell, I'd make the rest of the team fly coach back to Milwaukee and pay for their own tickets.

Europa always makes the post game thread late. :-?

Bogut another great game. I was SHOCKED to see us not go to him at all in the 4th. Must have been the first time I have ever seen that.

Bobby starting is beyond comical. Start Ivey and have him take the other teams biggest threat. Its not that hard.

Sometimes I kid myself that a good vet run-the-offense-with-vision-and-control point guard could make a big difference with this team. Give the straw man a brain. Mo gives them a heart. Maybe time or a player-to-be-named-later can give them courage.

Right now, their highs are encouraging, but their lows are futility.

I don't think many people are giving up on him. But I'm about ready to see him come off the bench and give CV a shot at starting.

Superfito · Post #16 » by **Superfito** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 4:32 am

Bell sucks too.

I agree. The kid is a rookie in his first season in American basketball. Yeah, he played in international competition but he deserves a bit of a break for some rookie ups and downs.

Honestly I really would rather Michael Redd just not be on the court in the 4th quarter.

Same. It was great watching a game Saturday that actually meant something and I sure as hell am not talking about the Bucks/Suns. We die-hards fans struggle through this **** with the Bucks year after year...

There is obviously some incongruity on this team. When one part is working, another one always becomes broken. I don't think that is coincidence.

These guys don't function well together regardless of what the talent level may or may not be.

I'm not giving up on him but the problem is he's a major project and this team didn't need a major project. It needed an immediate impact player with the sixth pick in the draft. In time, Yi may be a good player and possibly a very good player but that isn't helping the Bucks now. And when you consider how worthless Villanueva is most of the time it just puts the Bucks at such a major disadvantage at the PF position. And that's on top of the fact this team doesn't have a SF.

Those two things are just killers. And when Mo has another poor game like he did tonight and Redd can't hit the broad side of the barn in the fourth quarter you have no chance.

I posted this in the game thread but I'll post it again here - it's not fair to compare Mo to Nash and Williams because they are light years better than he is. But when you watch them it drives home the point of how valuable a standout PG can be. Both of those guys make things so much easier for their teams and both teams are so much better because of them. It's a real luxury and something the Bucks simply do not have.
