Exactly. Who the hell could have been mad about that? Bogut couldn't make a damn bunny or FT's and he is hurt. It couldn't have been him. It could have been Redd, but how could he be mad after how the game ended? Everyone else besides Mason was useless.

That doesn't make any sense to me.

I completely agree. Mo was awesome last night. What did the other players want? "Mo, please stop being awesome so I could've got a few more shots and lead the team to a loss"?

It's one thing if a guy is chucking while shooting poorly, but as hot as Mo was last night, you don't complain about that. You go up to him and say "you played a hell of a game tonight."

I certainly would prefer the PG not taking 20 plus shots, but looking at this roster, who is there to score enough points to cover for our sieve like defense and subpar rebounding on most nights?

Yi?
Dez?
Bogut?
Bell?
Ivey?
Simmons?
Gadz?

When Bogut is tricking one bunny after another like he has this month, there isn't exactly a bevy of offensive firepower outside of Mo and Redd. People can call them the chucksters, but if i was coaching this team and knew at least 100 points would be needed to win most nights, i'd be hoping that Mo and Redd score 20 a piece or more to have a shot at winning.

so this is it then?

mo shoot's a great % so we stick with the hot hand and win and people aren't happy, so they'd rather get their shots and lose.

it's all on the table now

if only we knew who said it

I'm sure a couple people know, but will choose to leave those details off of this forum.

Mo was very much awesome and on that night carried our team to victory and should have shot 20 plus times. He was feeling it. But I am fairly certain that if this was the exception rather than the rule, it wouldn't bother anyone.

The point is that I think our players not named Mo or Redd would like to see a commitment to team. If everyone commits and fills their role we stand a much greater chance at sustained success. We still had to rely on a desperation 3 with a defender in our face to win. Granted only risking a tie, so in this one case not earth shattering, but we've seen this countless times this season.

So you should have no problems with the way we played. Mo isn't in there for defense.

With the deadline gone, I think we should just enjoy the ride with this team the rest of the season.

I'm really hoping mo/redd can keep this going, and continue to give us fun games to watch. With as bad as the East is I'm actually pumped for the bucks to hopefully keep winning games and try to snag a playoff spot.

We all know this roster is flawed, but we might as well enjoy the rest of the season. Over the summer hopefully management will be in place and can evaluate what went wrong with this season and re-tool it for next year.

But in the meantime this is the roster we have, so hopefully they can gel better down the stretch and play some good basketball.

Go bucks.

PS: I like LK giving Mo/Redd/Bogut bigger minutes, and going less with the all scrub lineups for long stretches.

Wait, who are they supposed to commit to?

Yi can't even hit the rim anymore, and if he gets bumped at all the ball goes flying out of his hands. Only God knows what you're going to get out of CV each game. Bobby Simmons just stands around and just prays his jumpers fall, because that's about all he can do. Gadzuric is, well...Gadzuric.

This team just isn't any good, we have a few solid players in Mo, Redd, and Bogut. But each one of them have too many significant holes in their games to make up for the rest of the holes that this team has.

So right now, this year, Chuckapalooza FTW!

Individually many of these players cannot be counted on and understand that, but who's to say that if we played better team ball that wouldn't change. Not sure.

But with that said, the coach wanted team ball and it appears that Bogut wanted team ball and I am sure Simmons and Bell wanted team ball.

I do agree that it may not work with this squad, but full on chucking almost certainly wont work. We shall see, I hope it does for now and I hope after the season that we make some changes because this isn't what I will pay to see. I didn't renew my season tickets and wont until I see something that resembles a solid team.
