Even without gooden we are not stoping good teams. See our last game. So if we are not going to stop them then at least lets try to score. :dontknow:

Massive game, really hope the Bucks can grab this one and get a nice streak going again.

Over the course of the season, our D will improve more than the offense regresses with Udoh over Gooden. This isn't rocket science by any stretch. You're being the vocal minority for the sake of it over actually believing it (shocking, I know).

If Gooden plays like he did against Boston, Indiana, and first half of the Charlotte game, you're right. Gooden needs to go back to efficiently hitting long jumpers and that will open up the passing lanes for us. Otherwise, he should be benched. Gooden at his best though >>> Udoh as far as usefulness in our starting lineup goes.

This. I don't know what to think about this team anymore. My guess is since Lin and Amare are gimpy we win, 107-103. I hope we win this one because my brother just got tix from a co-worker in section 101, row CC. I think those are right behind the basket - anybody sat here before and know if these seats are good? I prefer center court even if its further back but I have no idea what to expect from these seats. My bro said they are $105 face value so they must be decent. Oh well - I'm just hoping this team gets really hot again starting tonight. However, if we lose the next 2 I'm right back on the tank train.

Bruce Bowen on Brandon Jennings when he was on SportsNation.

One dimensional scorer. Doesn't get teammates involved and doesn't play good defense. Only worried about himself.

Hate Bruce Bowen and is pretty bad as an analyst on TV. Not a likeable guy, but still thought this was worth mentioning.

That's pretty strong words. Wish I could disagree with a lot of it right now but I can't.

The only accurate portion of that comment is that he doesn't play good defense. He is an inefficient scorer but not one dimensional. I think he has done a fine job lately at getting teammates involved.

They have 7 games left against teams that are below .500, two of which are us

Once the playoff teams get "locked" into their slots, they may be mailing it in at the end as well. Not sure that Atlanta game and LA game are going to be tough--they could easily end the season on a 5+ game winning streak.

I never been around so many fans that felt making the playoffs was the worst case scenario...

I disagree. I think he's a great poster and adds value to the board.

Just cause some posters around here don't have thick enough skin to allow someone to disagree with them, doesn't mean everyone else ought to leave.

Amar'e MRI buldging disc ..OUT indefinitely.

Fight the Tank · Post #75 » by **Fight the Tank** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 10:14 pm

Not to change the subject from the never ending debate of tank vs. playoff validity, but has anything been confirmed on Amare and Lin for tonight?

Woodson was quoted as saying that if Amare was out that he would go super small and start Melo at the four.....This has to provoke Skiles to start Moute since Melo would inevitably get Ers in foul trouble.

It wold also be a good opportunity to start bringing Gooden off the bench and pairing him together with Udoh.

have u been to a Bucks v Bulls game this year ?

then you know that if the Bucks play the Bulls in the 1st round
there will be 75% Bulls fans here in Milwaukee

and that will be an embarrassment for our Organization, Team, Players, Fans

playing the Bulls in the 1st round is the WORST CASE SCENARIO

if we end up playing the Heat or Magic, then im ok with that
but its not looking good right now

i also feel that drafting 15th or 11th has little difference in value of players
