We have too many players on the roster who just arent good defenders and have low iq on that side of the court. Bucks shooting 60% from the floor is just inexcusable.


I wholeheartedly agree that we need a mass exodus of the low-IQ players that don't play defense and replace them with high caliber defenders. I still can't quite understand why we don't surround our scorers with defensive stalwarts, and I hope we do eventually.

and that's with whoever starts. Our roster is not ready for prime time. That's why you start STAT and move on.

I think they're trying to make the games not last so long for the fans, not that I think it makes a difference but I believe that's the rationale


I've never felt like games last too long, though. You ever been to a baseball game? Seems like they never end. Basketball games seem to go by pretty quickly.

My guess is to reduce fatigue and therefore injuries.


If that is the reason, then I think it is pointless

Yeah. I had hope that the triangle would be the perfect opportunity for JR to discipline his game and take it to the next level. But it looks like the opposite.

I think it's for more commercial ad time personally.

Hell I hope not. First thing is to reduce the game time, 2 years from now the jerseys will be filled with ads. After that they will install iPad tablets in each seat in the Garden that will run ads non-stop for 4 quarters :D
