WE better learn from this is we want to move beyond pretender status. i would really like to hear EJs post game speech. He needs to lay into them
WTF WAS THAT SHOT BY AJ AT THE END!!! (not that the chances of tying were that good but for f's sake a 3/4 court heave after the inbounds when there was over 2 seconds left is itotally f'ing stupid)

Until Grunfeld goes there is no rebuild.

Poor clock management by Jamison. 2.3 seconds means he could have taken one, maybe two dribbles in and gotten off a higher percentage shot.
Also, why was Caron the one inbounding the ball? The only player on our team that was hitting anything today was the one who was excluded from even having the possibility of attempting the last shot? That's not right.

The Bucks played good D, the ball swung to Haywood with 4 seconds left. There wasn't time to kick it out to Butler, even if he was open.
This is why you don't have Brendan in to close-out close games, he's not a clutch, go-to person in that situation.....he's a poor to average finisher around the basket, despite hitting the occasional 10 footer.

i could have sworn there was a 3 pointer by the Bucks in the first half that looked like a long 2. someone help me out here. the Bucks were going right to left and it was a shot from right. if it was really a 2 they should protest. they would have a 1 point win at end of regulation. i could be wrong though. i'm pissed.

I agree that it's better to have Butler or Jamison taking the shots when possible. Sometimes, it's just not possible. It was good D. All I'm saying is that Haywood didn't do anything wrong that play, nor did the team. You don't always get a good shot on every possession. There are plenty of things to complain about tonight. But that possession wasn't the problem.

That possession was HUGE as was the one before it. Caron air-balled a 3 when we had a chance to go up by 6-7 but it's hard to criticize him because he was our only player who showed up tonight. Brendan should never be taking a shot in crunch time like that, completely unacceptable. AD deserves a big FU for this game as well. I forgot about him. He killed us with bad turnovers and missed FTs.

Especially now that Boston is proving that they are quite beatable. Anything less than a sweep of Toronto would be disappointing considering how poorly we have played in the last 3 games.
