And people don’t want to trade him for a young pg (that we should have drafted anyway)

What a difference a week makes.

Milwaukee was just too much tonight.

Bledsoe was scoring while Briscoe was out there, but at least it was on jumpshots. Against DJ he can eat him alive at the basket. Plus, Briscoe had it going a little bit offensively.

As DJ scores 6 points. I stand by my opinion.

Teams are making a lot of big shots against us lately. It's getting annoying, but ultimately we've still controlled our own fates and we're just losers that don't make big plays.

Vuc has tried to take over the last 3 games down the stretch and it hasn't worked out.

Another Buddy Ball line is in the books. Let's see how they did.

They used 38 shots and 4 free throws to get 38 points. Better than last night! Next game, maybe they can crack the 1 point per shot barrier.

I'm beyond ready to move on from this group. I really hope they get a deal done soon, I just can't take much more of this.

I can’t wait until 2030! They’ll finally be off the team and we’ll be ready to compete for a championship.

Vuc must be 0-15 the last 3 games in the final 5 minutes.

I'm hoping that since Hammond had a hand in building the Bucks he's taking the same approach of keeping the middle of the paint clear and looking to trade Vuc because he takes up the whole middle of the paint and getting slashers and shooters for drives and kicks instead of post-ups.

LOL

He gave the same type of player a max contract just 3 years ago:

Greg Monroe chooses maximum deal with Bucks

We’re doomed

Hate the way Josh Robbins questions all of Clifford's moves.

Did you really compare Vuc and Monroe?
"same type " to you means what ? They are both humans? Because that's only thing they have in common.
Monroe can't defend chair, has no mobility, never made 3 pointer in career, never was good rebounder or passer

Anyone who thought Isaac was bad needs to rewatch the first 4 minutes of the game very carefully

Prime Detroit Monroe and Orlando Vuc from a few years ago are comparable but I agree that they are not so much now. Free throw percentage, stretching the floor, passing, defense, etc, Vuc is easily better now. Think Monroe's passing was "okay" and he was a good rebounder, but nothing special. Vuc has easily turned into a better player than Monroe, but the point still stands that we need to try a different direction completely not because Vuc is garbage, far from it, he is turning in all-star level numbers this year, it's just that at some point we need to move in a different direction if it's not working out. Lots of players, even hall of fame type players have moved teams because they just can't get over the playoff hump.. in our case.. even get into the playoffs.

Didn't feel like watching this one but looks closer than I thought it'd be. I hope we get rid of some vets. Almost two weeks away

WeHam pull the plug in the season please, this is ridiculous. I commend Cliff for getting this team to look competent for stretches but the team is too fragmented, talentless, and awkward fitting to be worthwhile.
