Should have been but the refs brutalized it from the parts of the replay I saw. Not pretty.

It was pretty poor reffing, Wolves definitely got a good run but it was just sort of weird all round.

On one play Bogut and Love went for a rebound, they both ended up with it and the ref called a jump ball. Which was fine, except that Love was basically standing with both his fleet fat in the out of bounds area.

Bogut won the tip and the Warriors got the ball anyway so no harm, but was kind of funny.

Saw that one, I watched for about 15 minutes and saw about 8 really weird or really bad calls, they ruined what should have been a beautiful game.

Are they bad? Lol.

Leave me out of your bitter face saving campaign

I'm still a Reddick fan as I was before we got him, but the trade was beyond idiotic and he was complete ass for us, regardless of the circumstances.

Magic beating the Clippers was a surprise. Too bad they didn't have Michael Jordan I mean Tobes playing.

Yea...not sure what you're trying to get at there other than to be a dick.

I feel like you post **** like this just so you cry about people not respecting your opinion.

Just like when you cried after the Knicks game about people getting on your case for wanting to win when in fact nobody did that and you were the one calling people Nazi's and telling people they needed to visit a psychiatrist because they have no joy in their lives the entire game.

I know it's a division ah rival? But this is great from Paul George and sure to stir up some trouble when Indiana/Chicago next play.

People seem to be more miserable about what the Tobias trade represents than Tobias the individual; it screams "other clubs are smarter than yours, but that's a given because yours is clearly (Please Use More Appropriate Word)". That Tobias, who went there in that trade and was their leading scorer, was out and they were able to beat the Clippers essentially highlights the misery- clearly their immediate future is brighter than the Bucks'.

Yep, I'm the bad guy for wanting the team to win a few confidence building games and not being obsessed with a bad trade. We get it already. Move on. Hundreds of pages about an opposing player. That's called rubbing salt in the wounds of people who were already bothered by the trade. Herb's old ass isn't reading this website.

The rest of us are just making lemonade from lemons. Some of you are attempting alchemy. Kohl is a bad owner and isnt going to tank. Be happy that we still have guys like Henson, Giannis, Nate, Larry, and a few other interesting players.

Some projected playoff teams in the East looking suspect thus far (early I know), but NYK has really struggled and now Chandler is out. Plus the Melo FA thing is going to be a factor at some point. In addition, Washington/Detroit/Cleveland haven't set the world on fire. Miami and Indiana are head of the class, and I still would put Chicago in that group albeit they are 1-3. I would love to see them struggle though. I didn't buy into the Nets but they are built to jump in that tier if father time doesn't hit'em. Otherwise the East is pretty wide open right now.

It's funny, because the pacers have accomplished less than the bulls in the last few years.

I'm not happy being mediocre but I'm not going to spew nonsense and pessimism. I'm not going to wish for things that are impossible. Herb isn't tanking. Get a new team or be positive about what we do have. We have a young team. Caron and Luke wont be here next season. Zaza makes the young players better. Neal won't be here long. Delfino is the only player that was a huge mistake signing. We are developing everyone else, including Ersan and maybe Mayo still. Good trade pieces, good youth players, and a season where we more than likely are a lottery team.

I thought your Tobias comment was pretty funny and a good comeback.

My only comment on your line above about the "vets" not being back is that means that even if this current team wins 41 games and is fun to watch, the success won't be sustainable. That's partly what I hate about the way Kohl runs the team.

You can get maybe one great season out of a John Salmons, Brian Skinner, Damon Jones, ZaZa, Ridnour, etc. But in the end, their performance in helping the Bucks achieve a 40-win season is always unsustainable. Either the guy gets noticed and is overpaid by the Bucks or another team the next year or the guy wasn't that good to begin with. Or the guy's one year performance as an essential glue guy is a one-year event.

We need to get a core of 3-4 players that are really good like we had with Big Dog, Ray, Sam and TT. Guys you can work with for a 4-5 year stretch. Because Kohl refuses to employ competent front office people and strategies to get him that core, we are stuck with high water points being a 41-win season every fourth or fifth year.
