Good job finding a way to win despite having dead legs.

Indiana coming up on Friday.. if we get out of there without any major injuries it's a win.

I'm 5-1 on Game Threads this year.

This is bad.

I want Ernie fired. Damnit.

Nice win, despite poor bench play (except for Temple). Good win guys!

I like to think that Ted has already decided to fire Ernie regardless of the outcome of the season.

really beter than that. Toronto is just in front because of there division but we have one more win than them.

Either way, I expect this team to ball out on Friday. Not saying we will win but I think Wall is going to go for it. He had a huge game last year against them when he was hot. They are the #1 team in the league and Wall wants to show he's better than George. He had his off/tired game and now he comes back energized for that one. I think we will make them sweat

Ves wasnt great but solid enough. Everyone is killing our bench now but we could look ok if we get Beal, Al, & Porter healthy one day or down the stretch of the season. By then though, our starters may be so worn down that it wont matter

I thought this was the best the bench has played in a long time. Sure, Wit probably stayed with them too long in the 4th, but you can't continue to ride the starters and kill their legs in back-to-backs. I guess he has absolutely no faith in Rice because he's really overextending Webster and it shows in his jump shot.

Nene's clutch rebounds won the game. We are only a half a game away from the 3rd seed! That should be our goal this season.

Hard to believe this Bucks team is on a 10 game losing streak, they're not good but there is some talent on this roster. Now its on to Indiana, if Wall isn't a superstar in that game we don't stand a chance. Hibbert is going to swat all that weak stuff Gortat and Nene put up at the basket. Hopefully we have it going from three, not having Beal will hurt in that game.

we are owed a road win vs an elite team after that OKC heartbreak, I say no better time than Friday...lets go get it fellas!

John Wall actually had a "bad game" and still had a decent stat line...I think that is pretty telling of his progress. Webster and Ariza made some clutch as **** plays down the stretch, and my fantasy roster thanks Gortat for going HAM tonight. It is imperative we get performances like tonight out of players, Wall can't do everything yet.

Happy with the win. Hopefully execution is much crisper against the pacers :I

He was sloppy in some parts of the game, some really bad turnovers on his part. He had a decent game.

Thought for sure they would lose this game based on past history and it sure looked like it there for awhile. Although Gortat had a great game, I'd give the POG to Webster. He hit some big shots when we were having trouble scoring and also rebounded and had some assists. The shot to tie the game in regulation was huge. I know a lot of people criticized EG for giving Martell the mid-level, but he is earning his money thus far. Hope it continues.

Obviously, Ariza had some key plays and Nene's two rebounds at the end were huge (he was not so good the rest of the game). If we can get Beal back soon, and Porter and Harrington can get healthy and give us some semblance of a bench, this team could be pretty good, especially in the god awful East.

Maybe this team is starting to finally grow up. This is the type of game they would have lost last year.

Who plays on the bench anyway. Maynor, Temple and Ves. You guys are hilarious. Of course the bench sucks. What bench? :lol:

bjack18 · Post #257 » by **bjack18** » Thu Nov 28, 2013 4:04 am

btw and not to get too far ahead of myself BUT if somehow we beat Indy the winning streak will/could go to 8...12-8 would look real good after the poor start

Agree on the sloppy plays. However, he had some key assists and if he can continue to hit 3 pointers and that elbow jumper, he is going to be awful scary.

He was BAD in the first half, and above average the second half. It still was not as good as he CAN do IMO. Part of it is tired legs, and the entire team really not giving many facks. Its just pleasant to me, that a mediocre outing by Wall is still enough for us to overcome teams we should beat (although we struggle against for w/e odd reason). I do think Wall has tendency to play up to, or down to his competitions level.

Wall didn't get to the free throw line until bucks intentionally fouled him towards the end.

Gortat was 11-12 from the field, dude should have gotten the ball more often.

Bench still not that great, probably never will be until beal comes back which will put either webster or ariza on the bench.

All in all good win despite nene and wall having bad games.
