Ball should have been never been in Bender’s hands in OT, WTF.

Booker NEVER gets calls.

Bledsoe tried so hard to give us the game but damn suns played bad tonight.

This game pissed me off man.

I read a Bucks fan comment saying something like "Brandon Knight 2.0. He gets points if he takes 20 shots but he can't do anything else well."

Yeah, you're not going to see Bledsoe elevate the Bucks to be a contender anytime soon. They have Giannis, but that won't be good enough, the west is absolutely stacked.

That as amazing...truly amazing...and yeah, how he walked off like 'yeah, that's how I do!' was priceless...too bad is was all for not. I don't have TV up yet, thus no ESPN, but surely, that had to make #1 on any "Top 10 Plays of the Day" list...if they still do those...

So, after doing my 'Box Score scouting', that I do so well... :lol:

... I see Bledsoe had another nice 7 TO game, to go along with a nice 42% Shooting %. Sure, he posted 30 pts; took him 45 min to do it...that's a per36 of 24/5.6 Assts with 5.6 TOs...yep, that's about right. Enjoy, Milwaukee! :wink:

While OUR trade return, Monroe, played 32 minutes, and posted a nice 22/15 and a BLK, which would be a per36 of 25/17 1Blk/1Asst

If we actually keep Monroe and trade off Chandler for a 2025, 35-60 protected 2nd Rd pick and a box a donuts, I'll be a happy man.

As I mentioned last night in the Transaction thread; we should keep Monroe; 'woo' him into resign for $15-17M, take the best available Center in the Draft that will probably take the length of Monroe's new contract to develop, and use Monroe as our starter in the meantime; we could do a lot worse. Just look at the Mahinmi's, Mozgov's, and Plumlee's of the NBA gettin' paid $13-17M per year.

Man I really wanted that win. I thought Book was going to go off in OT but was obviously gassed. Unfortunate but oh well. Let the tank live on.

Booker with that shot though. I had a Friendsgiving thing at my place and I was watching on my laptop and when Book hit that shot I yelled really loudly and scared everyone. Have to agree that Bender shouldn't be handling the ball in OT and should only be getting it in a catch and shoot situation. Though maybe he'll learn from this experience and grow. I did appreciate him being in the game though, so much better than Chriss and normally he makes the right decision on passes.

This one in overtime hurts.

despite the loss, it’s refreshing to see the suns is actually competing

at least no more 20+ pts blow outs

Those superstar moments are just as if not more important than wins at the moment.

Booker already has 4 buzzer beaters to win or force OT.

Except the Bucks are in the east. But it's way tougher than usual too. Or at least 8-9 teams deep competitive.

The bigger problem is going to be what happens this offseason when they begin discussions on re-signing Bled and his agent demands $35 mil a year. Their cap situation is not all that great thanks to the awful deals handed out to Henson and Tele and Delly. That's a lot for 3 role players. Giannis will hit RFA at the same time.

What happened to Len? On the trading block or in the doghouse?

Who knows.

Was told it was due to the Match-up, as Triano felt that Chandler/Monroe would be better to use against the Bucks. Hard for Len to get much burn when he has been knocked down to 3rd string C. There really isnt the minutes to be given out to 3 Centers. At least when we had this issue with PG's, one could also play minutes at SG, where none of these C's can play like a PF at all.

Lens absence could also be in part due to us wanting to showcase Monroe to the League. Let teams know that he isnt just a huge expiring, but the guy can still play.

Chandler getting the majority of the minutes and starting is a head scratcher to me. Yeah yeah, veteran voice in the locker room, i get all that, but when his play on the court doesnt match up to the 2 guys playing behind him, at some point you have to make the switch, and for some reason we just havent yet.
