Won't go to a game again this year

I went tonight and the last game I went to was the Detroit debacle. I have zero interest in wasting my time on a team that is so poorly coached and so clearly doesn't give a flying ****.

Edited to add: I sat a few rows behind Yi's parents who sat and watched the game like statues. Not even one time did they clap or cheer, including when Yi had the break away dunk in the first half or his bucket late in the game. Mark Belling was a no show as well.

At least you can take comfort in knowing that Bobby Simmons made over 100k tonight while you probably spent over 100 dollars to watch.

Ya this team is a joke, I think the same way I went to a few Bucks games in the begining of the season and after they made me sick to my stomach I stoped going.

Kohl, LH, the rest of the staff and organization is a joke. I hate most the players with a passion on the team and I come to realgm everyday hoping these bums get traded.

Only way I would ever go to a game this season would be if I was allowed to throw things at the team not to injure them but I would love to just whip water balloons or bean bags or something at them.

I can't blame anyone for not wasting their time and money. Save it for the Brewers. I also have no interest in giving Kohl another penny this year.

I'm sick of this team as well, but the progress that Bogut is showing is helping me to not completely lose hope for the future.

Even though this season is looking like a waste, if LH can pull off a decent trade of moving either redd or mo along with some of our crap contracts (simmons. gadz), I would definitely be rejuvenated for watching Bucks bball the rest of the year.

Packers >>>> Brewers >>>> Badgers >>>> Bucks.

I'm going to one game for a bachelor party in early February, otherwise this will be the second year in a row I haven't gone to a game just at my leisure. And that is saying something.

There will be plenty of bargain tickets available, like the $6 deal they've already had for a couple of games. If you want to go to a game get the cheapest ticket you can, there will be plenty of room in the lower bowl.

Yep, home for winter break and all my college buddies wanted to go to several games, told 'em I'd go when I saw a change (or got a free ticket, as previously purchased tickets are counted in attendance records, right?)

This team isn't worth my money. As for time? Well between watching every game on TV and this board, I still waste a lot of time :banghead:

Good call on saving it for the Brewers, also.

I agree. The only reason I went last night was to honor Moncrief.

Totally a waste of time. I can stay home and focus on college ball of high school basketball or what not.

Just horrible. And the Warriors played on a back to back! And they could have beat them by 40 if they wanted to expend some energy.

They claim they want to win and then start Yi. They need a legitimate PF and put Mo on the bench or get rid of him and Bell.

He (Mo) is totally useless if you are gonna keep Redd and Bogut and Yi.
You have to have a point guard who knows how to move the ball or who has some outstanding quality like Monta Ellis who can explode to the hoop .

All Mo has is a streaky jump shot. CJ Miles lit him up at will much less Ellis!

Simply horrible. :noway:

Mo must be the worst defensive player in the history of the NBA since he is now getting lit up by players who weren't even in the state of Wisconsin during the game.

Haven't gone to a game all year, won't go to another game until Kohl either sells or stops letting that group of morons run the show.

I have half season tickets or I would probably be saying the same thing. There are 2 things that would inspire me to buy tickets for a game that I dont have tickets for yet... 1. Get on a big winning streak or 2. Making a trade. I love the NBA and I love the Bucks but Kohl and his inner circle that makes every decision are an absolute joke.

I go cause GAD and I get cheap seats and I just enjoy hanging out with the guys. Its always a good time.

We went to our season ticket holder (we have a 21-pack, must be getting desparate) free food/drink thing at 6:00 before the game last night. There was Bucks trivia and prizes. Well, my wife and I got all of the trivia questions right and I had to do a tiebreaker with a few other guys for the prize. I got closest (Mecca's seating capacity) and we got 2 tickets for the game 4 rows behind the Bucks bench! Its going to be really hard to move back up to the upper deck.

Also, Larry Harris gave a pretty cool talk. He said that even if this is his last year, this is the team he wanted to put together, and he's frustrated it isn't working so well, but the schedule for the second half is in our favor etc. He took some crowd questions and I asked him if even though he is a personnel guy, if he has any information to share on the future of the team. He tried not to dodge the question, but said the future is here, and right now the plan is to improve the areas around the BC, nothing really said about attempts for a new arena

.

Anyhow, what a difference the view makes! Even when they were getting pounded, it was an awesome experience. But man, the team seemed so lethargic by the middle of the third quarter. Just seemed like they were done already.

I still like going though...

I was using season tix, but with the two seats last night, I can almost buy my UWM season tix. The college game is more exciting and the players give effort because the game is what they have. The NBA players simply don't give a ****.

Please. After last season, I don't know how anyone can say that with a straight face.

Make that the past 20+ seasons.

What is with everyone's obsession with a new arena? **** christ, there's nothing wrong with the Bradley Center, old arenas are better than new. All it does is waste millions of dollars. There are simpler and inexpensive ideas to get people out to games and cheer for a losing team.
But I blame the fans and most of the Bucks organization, not the players.

The energy from the fans at the games are pathetic, we don't deserve a winning team. The crowd at the games are soulless rich ****, gold digging housewives, and whiny teenage girls who walk around in their furry boots with a bored look on their face, chatting about pointless bull on their cell phones. If Kohl or anyone who has some pull in the Bucks organization were serious about winning, they would at least have a cheering section in the lower level. The Houston Rockets giveaway free tickets to fans as long as they cheer the whole game. Why can't it be like going to a college basketball game, the difference is night and day. The only time the fans get excited is when **** throw t-shirts in the crowd, it's pandemonium. They need a serious business savvy owner and an actual NBA fan to pump life in the arena with real fans, and not have businesses give away lower level seats to their employees who could care less about the team and care about avoiding the rush to get back home to their depressing lives. Kohl is **** and he doesn't belong in the same state as any NBA team. Limp dicked ****.

Why does it take a winning team to get people in the stands, **** bandwagons. The Brewers have fell victim. Knick fans are the most passionate fans I've ever seen, and they have a **** team, but it will turn around for them, and they'll be back to a serious playoff contender soon enough cause of those fans. People in Wisconsin only give a **** about the Packers, and they're probably better off relocating the Bucks.

I expect people to criticize everything I just said, so go on.

I agree with most of it. The fans are pathetic. Your idea about a fan section is right on. Seriously I have thought the same thing. I rarely get too animated when I sit in the lower bowl but people will seriously give you dirty looks if you get into it. I know they pay the big prices but we need a fan section. Hell I even wrote LH about this and brought it up that he should try something like that for all the RealGm fans since you know we are passionate and dedicated. He never responded. Like imagine us yesterday when that #9 ref took over the game and screwed us over on like 5 straight plays with bad calls. If we were close enough for him to hear us, he might not make 5 bad calls in a row. Also a fan section is usually able to pump up the whole crowd.

The crowd was actually good last night. Before the game the whole crowd was on their feet cheering. Problem is the Bucks came out sluggish and were taken out of the game. Even when we were down 20 with just mins to go in the game the crowd was cheering when we made a good play.

The crowd will be fine when the team isn't so terrible.
