Milwaukee's in Sacramento (Game Thread)

Wonder if Sessions if the first player to go -20 in a 1 point loss?

Good game. Really like the potential of the Cousins - Gay - McLemore core..... Wish they would have found more shots for Ben, he was on fire. Cuz at 80% is a double-double. Kings will be fine. I'd lighten up on this loss if I were you. I see a lot of wins in the future.

Explain to me how this was a good game? The Bucks were coming off a game last night, lost 2 of their starters and easily 4 of their top 8 players and we lost at home. Because we only lost by 1? We should have beat them by 10+ without Cousins

lazy typing. It was a good/fun game to watch at the end.

You sound like PDA fun to watch not about wins.

No my expectations for this team are realistic.

Towards the end of the quarter there were two plays that seriously troubled me. On the first Demarcus set a screen for Rudy and was wide open on a pop on the right side of the floor in his sweet spot for a jumper, only Rudy had his head down in ISO mode, granted he did hit a three point shot. Demarcus threw his hands up in disgust and he and Rudy were jawing on way down the floor and into the next defensive possession and it seemed like Rudy was telling Demarcus he should have cut. The next offensive possession Demarcus returned the favor and ball hogged it into a wild shot.

I could see things really coming off the rails here soon if we don't bring in a real coach.

Ostensibly PDA/Vivek wants us to run a small ball lineup (and I suppose Malone wanted a more pound it in team) only we don't have the personnel for it. I feel like I'm watching the 49ers season all over again. The team was always meant to be a time of possession power run team only management/coaching thought it would be a good idea to run five wide half the time. Look how that turned out. I really felt we were building a Grizzlies-like personality under Malone on this team with a power post up team - looks like were going to see a lot of 2 PG; 3 guard; no PF lineups.

It will take a minute for Rudy to get back out of the mentality that he is the teams only hope. The team has played much differently the last 10 games so hopefully they'll adjust back to some of the play they were used to before that sooner than later.

I'm still not totally sold that Vivek specifically wants a small ball team. He's never even mentioned that IIRC. At least not as the foundation of anything specifically and there isn't a team in the NBA that doesn't throw out small ball units from time to time. He's said he wants the team to play a more open style that gets the most out of the talent this team has. I can't blame him. I thought it was Malone behind the Cuz can average 5 assists a game talk, but I think it was Vivek and Pete, and if it was, they are right. First game back Cousins went full on Webber. Need to see more of that.
