Seriously. did the Heat's victory over us really inspire that much fear that they'd lose their ping pong balls. They had to sit Jason Williams now too?

Hopefully Stern will bone them the way he boned Memphis, Boston, and us last year.

The guy who played the fewest minutes for the Heat in that game still clocked 27 minutes!

I liked the comment in the recap on espn.com. It was something like, The Raptors could have gone without scoring in the 2nd half and still won by 4 points :rofl:

If I had my own show like Mo Williams does and Mo was my guest i'd ask him.

6th man on a winning team.

or

Starter on a lottery team.

I don't think it would have to be just either one. Mo could easily start on a very good team, it just depends on how the team is built. Two years ago the NBA Finals featured starting point guards named Jason Williams and Jason Terry. Mo is better than J.Williams and at least as good as Terry. Mo would fit in great for Cleveland. Rafer Alston starts for the Rockets.

Far and away the biggest weakness Mo Williams has is he's a very poor defender. If he's going to be a starter on a good team, it has to be on a team with a very good defense that can help cover for his biggest flaw. On the Bucks and their cornering the market in bad defense/soft play, having Mo play 40 minutes per game is just throwing more gas on the already flaming fire of bad defense.

Given the Bucks get no defense at all from their PF position, get poor defense from the SG position, and Bogut has become a pretty good but not great defender, adding Mo and his bad defense all together equals the Bucks god awful recipe for how to allow bad offensive teams to drop 105-120 points on us.

I really want this thread stickied for all the Bucks officials and Milwaukee media members that read this board, so that they can realize how truly, truly terrible this franchise is.

People seemed to think so with Simmons.

Actually, I think one of the biggest problems this team has is they have a player in Simmons making starter's money coming off the bench. Simmons was signed to be a starter and the fact he isn't is contributing to this team's completely f'd up salary structure. I don't think a small-market team can afford a player making nearly $9M a year like Mo is coming off the bench. And that's not even taking into account the fact I'm about as convinced as I can be that Mo would never accept a sixth man's role on this team.
