The guys played ok….we’ll take the W

ETA: my feed is a couple seconds behind. Posted this assuming it was over. As usual nothing easy with this team.

Ballsy move, PP. We are doing our damnedest to lose this game.

Who knew we’d be Duke.

My apologies board. We’ll still get this one.

Thankful that we can rely on old man Brook to settle things down for us on both ends. Pretty bleh game otherwise.

I like our 2 PGs a lot. Hope Green's shoulder is OK, he tweaked it again. Happy we lived thrive Bobby’s suspension, but we've missed him.

That Rollins play was as brain dead as Chris Webber in the title game. Not a good sign. All he had to do was dribble out the clock.

Also, the fact that Livingston isn't close to being able to get in to this B level game makes it rather obvious that we should move on from him and pick up a better prospect.

Portis and Sims back will help this teams rebounding immensely come playoff time.

I wanted to say nice things about how they came thru w/out Giannis, but they just have to leave a bad taste in your mouth w/ their unprofessionalism. Up 11 w/ a minute and a had a half to go, then they start taking early shots, & leaving open 3 shooters. Good thing Gary got that call after he was trapped otherwise the Pelicans would have had a chance to tie a the end. Team is just dumb and a rough watch.

The unequivocal positive is Brook being a warrior for this team & in certain match-ups his d + o is a problem for the opponent. He can settle us late, playing thru him, when we're w/out our stars. All-time leading scorer for the Brooklyn Nets, w/ a whole other career w/ the Bucks. Salute.

Exactly, there was no one to bail him out after he got trapped. He was going to lose the ball--that's why he shot it so it wasn't a straight up TO.

With numerous players out, and the remaining players needing to step up, Taurean Prince gave us 3 points and 4 rebounds in 29 minutes while routinely giving up dribble penetration.

Trent, Kuzma and Lopez were all wide open. He just needed to pass out to one of them or let the Pels foul him.
