Magic(7-8) vs. Bucks(6-9)

Late 2012 makes form some nice symmetry emerging from our rebuild.

Pretty easy to see why the Bucks have underachieved this year after watching last night's game. Monroe and Parker offer no resistance at the rim and puts a lot of extra pressure on their wings to keep their match ups in front of them. On the other end, that team just flat out can't shoot. Their starting lineup features one plus shooter in Middleton. And they bring only one real threat to shoot off the bench in Bayless. It's hard to score when the defense is backing 3 feet off MCW, Giannis, and Monroe. Cannot see that team making the playoffs this year.

Just got home from the game and watching the it again on the DVR. So fun to be at a blow out game for a change! There weren't many Bucks fans there and the ones that were there were very quiet! (Not like Wed.)

Boston fans will be extra annoying on Sunday.

Honestly, the OKC fans around us were the most annoying so far.

I think that the Bucks should still be better defensively than what they are, but the offensive end is hurting them. Its the mental game. When you struggle to score you just give in a little on defense.

In any case obviously our most convincing win. Both ends of the floor were just great basketball.

And in case anyone is still in denial about it...Jason Smith is A LOT better than Kyle O'Quinn.

EDIT: And MCW is seriously an awful basketball player. They really need to bring him off the bench until he understands how to play the game.

Interesting how we are making it work with Vooch, Frye, and Harris.

Aww mannn, finally a game that is easy on the blood pressure...and I freakin miss it. Considering my job is watching over a dozen+ high risk violent teen psychopaths, I really cherish relaxing games like this one.

Thank you, for doing what you do!

Jason Smith is way better than KOQ for sure!

Caught the rest of this on DVR. Dang, what a fun game (after I turned it off down 38-36).

Should I go ahead and delete that awful Knicks game to preserve the warm glow of this one?
