Unbelievable. We just lost to the spurs and with the game on the line (not once but twice), who does obie call on for the shot. Yep thats right, the crowd favourite, Ford who misses both times. Way to go coach, another game another loss. We are trying to find ways to lose these days i swear

It's hard for me to blame TJ for the loss, I thought he played pretty well throughout.

It's always hard in games such as this, I'm pretty heartbroken right now. None the less, you have to put it down to not finishing games collectively as a unit. It's not the first time this season that it's happened, and I really doubt it will be the last.

We went into the 4th with a double-digit lead. Seriously?

I know its hard to put full blame on ford for the loss but why go to him of all players when games on the line (twice). I think dunleavy of murph coulda taken some responsability. We are paying them more than enough so why not make them take the shots? T.J hasnt played well enough all season long to warrant attempting game winners

Is that a "I can't believe we blew that lead" or a "I can't believe you don't think TJ is to blame" comment?

Everyone played a serious part in blowing this one.

Definitely the former. And as for your last comment, that's what she said.

TJ passed up a wide open elbow jumper, then threw it away for a turnover. He followed that by missing 2 game tying 3's.


I'd trade him straight up for a pack of Big League Chew and some ding dongs.

Haha.

The Autographed Jersey had me laughing out loud.

Not a fan of the cheetos or Mtn Dew, though.

Oh..and TJ also gave up 2 big shots by Brandon Jennings. =/.

I wish he would give up his roster spot too.

The last three minutes of the Bucks game with TJ on the floor were a joke. Turnovers, missed shots, ineffective defense. I was stunned when O'Brien put him back in the game. I would think that at some point O'Brien will have to acknowledge the team has a better chance of success with TJ on the bench. Trading him for anything other than a negative value contract seems out of the question.
