Ha, yeah. In reality, it's something like an eye injury, but that kind of fit better.

Also, the Bucks didn't even fill the bottom level of seats, wow.

The bench has done a nice job so foar. They move the ball well.

Ian is just a foul magnet.

The refs really don't seem to like him. Ian is trying his best to go straight up but he'll almost always get called for it.

PS: Although, the last one wasn't a foul on Ian. It was a foul on Luis.

Man, I love Cope. Just a fun guy to watch. I want to see him get more playing time, its a shame Vogel refuses to change up his rotation.

Yep, it's a shame. Copeland can be helpful. His defense has improved this season as well. The guy tries anytime he's on the floor.

Copelands a monster... He needs a spot in the rotation

Post #13 » by **Nuntius** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 2:38 am

Chris Copeland for the WIN :rock:

Post #14 » by **Nuntius** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 2:39 am

Seriously, Copeland just has to play after that.

Now they have a decision since Miami lost do they go for the first?

I don't think there's a decision to be made here. We now hold the 1 seed by percentage points. You can't just GIVE them home court advantage. I full expect all of our starters to play against them on Friday.

ok so I had to watch it via the Bucks feed. they threw out the stat that Scola has scored more than 11 points once in the past 53 games(now twice since the start). I've been beating the Copeland drum hard here the last couple months. C'mon Vogel. Can you see it? We need offense. It's right there for ya.....go ahead and take it.

GrandBasterd · Post #18 » by **GrandBasterd** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 4:03 am

I think Vogel's decision this game was comparative to Mike McDermot VS Teddy KGB. All in gut feeling, and he won.
Send a message to the starters and the team: check
Rest the starters: check
Realize that Copeland is a beast that needs to be unleashed on an offensive deficient team: ITS ABOUT DAMM TIME!

I sometimes think you are Cope under an alias GrandBasterd

But there is no arguing with his performance tonight, great play in second Q as well, getting the stop, hitting the three.

All our guys looked good tonight in my opinion, this is the first time they played together in this line-up and they got it done. This is definitely a win/win for the whole organisation.

I agree, let's go for it against Miami and get that first anyway. Wade is likely out until the end of the season (though it wouldn't surprise me if he played against us) so Miami might well lose another one or two.

I like the guts it took as well, this needed happening.

We'll go hard against Miami, but that'll be a tough game, along with OKC on Sunday. We'll probably be resting starters again in Orlando.
