Finish strong?

The Bucks aren't gonna catch the Clippers, who play in a much tougher conference and are already in tank mode. The only team they are in danger of losing lottery position to is the Bobcats, and that would drop them only one spot to 8th. Big deal. It's not like they would have much chance at lucking out in the lottery at the 7th pick anyway. Normally I would advocate tanking at this point, but this year it's too late. I don't see why the Bucks didn't make some midseason moves to tank, but the playoffs weren't out of the question at that point and I guess they're all about pursuing mediocrity at all costs.

Anyway, if they start playing well with Sessions and start to find a groove, I would be all for it because they can't gain on anyone by tanking anyway, and they can't fall that far in the draft. Also, finding a group that plays well together would make offseason moves a whole lot easier because they'd know what they have and what they need.

The last 15 games I would like to see Bogut going back to being #1 option on offense. He said in JS he should be ready to play and would like to "try a few things he hasn't done before"....not sure what he means by that, but we should do everything to get Bogut in a groove and let him finish off strong.

I'd also like to have Yi getting some good touches on offense although he's still injured and his shot has been broke since Jan so not sure if thats going to happen.

And it's also time to have Sessions get plenty of time and opportunities to see if he can run this team and can he defend at an NBA level.

I'd rather finish strong than shut everyone down and hope for a slightly better lotto pick

Agree completely re: Bogut. Hopefully Sessions will see to it that he gets a lot of touches.

Could care less about Yi at this point, honestly. He's just a rookie and he won't be ready to contribute much next year either, IMO.

Sessions
Redd
Villanueva
Yi
Bogut

That's what I want to see. Redd would be out of the lineup if we had a young guy with possible upside that played SG. But that's the lineup I want to see starting and playing most of the game.

This post is confusing. You want Bogut to be the #1 option on offense, and you want Yi to get a good amount of shots, but you want the Bucks to not tank?

The Bucks couldn't finish strong if they wanted to.

They love to start strong and give us false hope though.

well they tried it the other way the whole season and we saw how that worked. they made Redd the #1 option and gave mo alot of shots and tanked the whole season.

With Harris (and eventually Larry K) on their way out, it would be a really good idea to give the ball to players we know will be on the team for at least next year.

I'd like to see us finish strong, but I would like more to see us trying something that can be useful for the road to take during the offseason: Let's see how Sessions can play, how CV is at the 3 position, how Bogut is as a prime option on offense, etc.

Well they sure played strong last night. In normal Bucks fashion though I expect them to lose to Miami tomorrow.
