Yes, we are. We have a choking problem, not a talent problem. There are numerous games this season that we should have won. I can think of at least 10. The talent is there, the finishing games isn't. If they can rectify some of the late game, ice cold shooting/TO--our record is impressive.


So they choke overall, yet are over .500 in close games. So the close wins are games they should have won, and the close losses are chokes? It's funny how you get to differentiate that out. I suppose other teams get to do the same, correct?

"At least 10"? :lol:

If our players weren't the themselves we'd have more wins, I agree.

Hopefully they can save the leg.

Who's doing that?


Just guessing here, but I would say Baddy Chuck and LUKE23. They would cheer against us in the Finals if it meant we moved up one spot at the end of the first round of the next draft.

Missing the playoffs leads to moves. This team is a ways away from being relevant. We need moves. Playoffs are nice, not one to cheer for the right now. We need a team that can make noise in the playoffs.

Because the situation of being an 8th seed or 7th seed and getting beat in the first round is comparable.

This is a lost season. Plain and simple.

I honestly can't think of any poster that is rooting for the lottery. Don't confuse indifference with whether the team wins 38 or 43 games and rooting for the team to lose.

You guys must be happy to have clinched a playoff spot with 26 games remaining on the Bucks schedule.

That was not a good example, albeit one I'm sure made in jest.

It's not even the pick for me, it's the mindset of the franchise. It's clearly different after a win then it is a loss. Completely reactionary franchise that needs to be sat in the corner to think about their actions for a little bit.

Cynical? Yes. Negative? No. I'm a **** realist. How you aren't is beyond me. After years and years of this dreck, you toot the horn, being so very, very close to tongue-in-cheek, but not quite. They ring hollow. They're nearly ripped off a page of Paschke's game prep. It's surface fodder, a post for the Bucks' Facebook page to plaster on your timeline in hopes of another ticket purchase.

But why? What has this team given you to believe that they're in the right? That they know what they're doing? That they're better than what they've shown over the last decade? Is it faith? Belief that if you hope long enough, they'll turn the corner? I'm at a loss as to why anyone in their right mind truly, honestly thinks that good things are happening with the Bucks.

So the Bucks are in a better position for the 7th seed...OR HIGHER!!! But does this team have the talent to climb the ladder? Do they have the competency to get higher? Or are they the same, mediocre roster of garbage that's permeated this franchise since 2004?

It's almost believable. But other posts of yours are coherent, specific, detailed and thorough. Certainly better than what I churn out more often than not.

So yes, I don't know if you believe what you say. Half of you makes sense. The other half comes from the team's payroll.

I might be a "cynical, negative ****" in your mind, but at least I don't blind myself from the mess this franchise is.

We're above .500 in close games. Do you think we're special and should be entitled to win more than that?


Yes! There is no excuse for losing many of the games that we have lost. We were in position to win and we just got ice cold down the stretch.


Brooklyn x 2
Atlanta
Miami
Cleveland
Detroit x2
Houston
Denver
Charlotte

These were all games were we flat out choked/gave away. Our record should be better.
