Did Middleton really drop 40 on us ?

One positive thing after the game is Bledsoe is a horrible player and watching him makes you feel physical pain. Good riddance.

That end of game situation was tough being down 4 points. It had to be an immediate catch and shoot three pointer to save time on the clock. Gotta be willing to put the ball in other players hands besides Booker too.

Good second half of the game. Just didn't have enough at the end. I think Booker playing 40min didn't leave him with too much legs at the end

We're a very young team with very little clutch play experience. This is how young teams execute at end game situations; not very well.

Really dumb to keep feeding him like this.

Yeah, they need to spread the shots out. It would make things easier for both Book and Warren if others got more looks from 3 and stuff. It's almost as if they don't have to guard anyone else most of the time on the perimeter because they know it's probably Booker, and if not, TJ.

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."

Monroe had a super favorable matchup but we kept rolling w/ Warren&Booker.

We didn't deserve to win that game anyway. Not only did they rest their star, but two other bigs in Henson and Telly were out so all they had was Thon and he fouled out for OT and we still couldn't take advantage.

The last thing we need is gifted wins.

Every loss is a learning experience.

- Take care of the f'n ball
- spread the love (aka scoring effort)
- attack their weakness

I know I'm being harsh but with defense playing Booker so tight and them being fairly light up front, he should be doing a better job getting our bigs going, especially Moose.

Yeah, i read quite a few clowning on Booker. I didnt want to break it to them that he is actually shooting over 45% for the season, while their guards are shooting under that. :lol:

Blah blah blha.

Yeah, i also read someone point out that they had no Telly, no Henson, no Delly, and i just laugh, like really, all the Bucks bum players that their entire board was desperate to dump on us all of a sudden are difference makers as to why they should have lost. Greekgod, i understand, but the others, nah bruv, they trash.

That would be like me listing off that Knight/Williams/Dudley/Len were all out, and it would have been a whole 'nother story had they been able to play.

Need more talent in free agency and draft next summer.
Step 1:
Draft ayton
Draft duval

Step 2:
Sign ...?

Step 3:
Profit!

Well, the main point is the STAR, Giannis. The minute they said he wasn't playing tonight I hated it because, not only did I want to see him, but if we are going to win, I don't want to win because teams are resting their players.

Telly and Henson are fairly important because they just traded Monroe and have no Giannis so they don't have much for bigs or shot disrupters. I didn't even mention Parker and Delly.

What was the deal with Len getting 0 minutes though, that was weird. Trade incoming.

Maybe showcasing Monroe as much as possible.

Yeah I thought so too, possibly trading Monroe or Chandler, we might end up with DJ :lol:

Man what a tough game to watch. Never gonna win with 29 turnovers, especially 3 straight to open OT. Can't let Middleton drop 40 on us like that either, even if he hit a lot of contested shots.

Let's not worry too much about this game, as the Lakers will fall below us in the standings over the course of the next month.

December schedule:

@ LA clippers
vs GSW
@ Denver
vs Houston
@ Philly
@ Charlotte
@ NY
@ Cleaveland
vs GSW
@ Houston
@ GSW
vs Portland
vs Minnesota
vs Memphis
vs LA clippers
@ Houston
@ Minnesota
vs OKC

That schedule is brutal, GSW 3x, Rockets 3x, Wolves 2x, they could actually go 0-18 :lol:

and January isn't exactly an easy path for them either :lol:

Suns are inching closer in the tank rankings at #7. I think it is fairly obvious that the Clippers will catch us and Utah will probably distance themselves on the other side. If we can just squeeze past 2 of Brooklyn, Dallas, Atlanta (I think there is no way we can catch Sac and Chicago at this point, but Dallas and Atlanta have vets and great coaches so I think they improve as the season goes on), we would be nearly guaranteed a top 5 pick (at the 4 spot with 1 team likely jumping us but not 2)..
