It was actually a great interview, Mo is a very funny guy.

He talked about how much easier Redd makes the game for him and the rest of the team because he draws so much attention and allows them to only draw single coverage.

He gave Yi a lot of props and they had some funny clips of him and Mo interacting as well.

I call BS. It's been clearly established in this forum that everybody on the team hates Redd and that there's no way he makes this team better in any possible way. Somebody really needs to get Mo up to speed on the current propaganda.

Im sure if Mo had a problem with Redd hogging the ball and taking bad shots Mo would come out talk about that to the media and let his feelings about Redd become public when he still has to play in the same backcourt with Redd for the next 3 months.

Maybe Mo is being honest or maybe he isnt but you can never realy trust an NBA player's word when he talks about a teammate.

For example Steve Blake & Tj Ford didnt mention a word about ''egos on the court & in the Bucks locker room'' untill after they where no longer on the Bucks.

I have a feeling Mo wouldnt say the same things about Redd if they werent teammates.Trade Redd or trade Mo then ask Mo what he thinks about Redd. :lol:

I knew you'd come in here and downplay this or turn it around.

Mo wasn't lying talking to these guys. Not saying bad things about a teammate to the media is one thing, but saying good things is another. He spoke of Redd on two separate occasions, once when not even asked to.

He said people take Redd for granted and it'd be a lie for him to say that Redd doesn't get him open a lot. He said he notices it when Redd is out.

Yes, TJ happened to be one of the ego's. Realize everyone has an ego in the NBA, that's why it's a players league. It's a matter of getting the ego's to trust one another and play together.

Why do you either bother reading Rilamann's posts?

I can summarize them...

Post 1 (Which applies to this thread) - "Redd and Mo suck. If you don't think they suck you are an idiot."

Post 2 - "Bogut is amazing. If you don't think so you are an idiot."

First, I don't give a damn what he says, Mo and Redd are not a good backcourt pair....was there any questions about defense in that interview??

The one thing you should all know by now about the Buck players is they ALL pretty much say the right things ....they are owned by a politician who is the master at telling people what they want to hear.

Good interview. Thanks for posting. I would respond to some of the people that have nothing but negative things to say about Mo but I think if you just watch that interview with an open mind...Mo is being pretty honest about everything including the Miami situation etc. I really think he is one of the few guys on the team that really wants to win and is doing what he can to help the team...not help himself.

Then it was probably best just not to read that/watch the interview.
