It 4:18 **** AM in Europe and I have to work in 3 hours and I'm staying for this **** ****. Never again, catch me on the weekends maybe

I'm the dumbest person in the world tonight and STILL NOT AS DUMB AS THIS **** TEAM!!!!

Edwards went for FOUR 2-for-1s and did not make a single one. HOW DO YOU GO FOR A 2-FOR-1 ON A GAME WINNING POSSESSION????!!!!! HOW???!!!

You're 10-43 from 3, you have 56pts in the paint, you're 10-32 from the floor, you have 2 timeouts remaining and THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS TWO **** CONTESTED STEP-BACK SHOTS YOU HAVEN'T MADE ALL NIGHT?

How do you AS A COACH stand there and watch this and not call a timeout the second he starts dancing on the perimeter?

How do you 2 possessions before make a perfect play driving to the basket, collapsing the defense and finding NAZ wide open in the corner, get the lead and the final two possessions are this bull? Did I mention this is the EXACT SAME COPY-PASTE way they lost to MEM TWICE and then Washington and Sacramento? COPY-PASTE!!!

We can talk about effort and defense and shooting and the refs and every thing under the sun, but the fundamental PROBLEM of this team is their IQ. They have NONE OF IT. None. Zero.

Did I mention Bucks were playing without their two best players? Two players who together average 60pts?

Two months of hard work and climbing to get out of a hole, to get a little bit of respectability, to get a little bit of excitement back to this fanbase and you ruin it in one **** night.

I'm done. **** me I'm done.


Great post!

I’m also completely mystified how you do not drive to the rim and ice that game by drawing fouls.

I must have seen Jordan draw fouls in that situation a thousand times.

Ant and the refs have a hate-hate relationship....you want to put the game in a ref's whistle over your star player's hands?

Also Ant's 46.7% from the top-of-the-key 3s are tied for the highest percentage on any non-rim shot.

That’s under normal pressure.

Clutch pressure is far from normal.

What’s he in the clutch?

Apples to oranges, my friend.

Did we all not watch Michael Jordan repeatedly and handily take control of ugly games like this in the 4th quarter by going to rim, drawing fouls, making high percentage free throws, and slowing the game down?

In my recollection, this was THE PRIMARY WAY he put games away.

Edwards has all the potential to do this, but he REFUSES and takes bad jump shots instead.

It’s not great.

Just saw the result of this game…how?? How do you continue to lose to undermanned, less talented teams??
