Big Game. Huge. We have to bounce back and show that the loss to Toronto on Friday was just a fluke.

MCW is out which should help our chances to win. Either way that shouldn't even matter and we should still get the W no matter what. But after that Toronto loss...idk man. Hoping for a good bounce back game.

Am I the only one that is more scared of the bucks in the playoffs than everyone besides the cavs?
Edit: In the east of course.

Your fear is justified. They're one of the longest teams in the NBA and that doesn't bode well for our perimeter game. Although, I'm still more worried about the Bulls and Raptors.

I just don't think the Bulls will be able to stay healthy, but if they do I still think Al and millsap's range will minimize their interior thuggery. We don't have to worry about Toronto either, they're losing in the first round.

So sloppy

Pero is so bad, I cringe watching him shoot.

3rd quarters have been rough lately.

Watching Pero is painful to watch.....it's time to glue him to the bench....wretched on offense.

I do miss him a little bit. He got some solid swag.

Even though we won this game I'm still extremely worried about this team.

20 turnovers today
22 turnovers against the raptors

Oh and Pero is like 2/30 from the 3 point line in his last 9-10 games btw. I don't care what his +/- is he needs to go.

Eh, we were super rusty vs tor and the bucks are really long and quick so I wouldn't be too worried about it unless it continues.
I agree that pero sucks, but we can't just cut him without a replacement so we'll have to just deal with him through June.

it just feels good finally getting back to winning ways. Toronto's loss last night also means that we stretch the East lead back to 6.5 games.

It boggles the mind that we seem so intent on keeping Pero as the primary backup big off the bench. He's shooting 25% from the field this month. And 11% from 3-pt range.

He does bring some intangibles, but at some point you need a player to actually bring tangibles to the game. Some actual rebounding and scoring.

It's even more telling that Muscala and Brand get little to no burn, either.

But...as belichick says. We're on to Dallas. Nothing else matters. You fight with what you got.

Let's focus on slowing down Chandler, then Vucevic, then Whiteside.

I can't lie, I now have one foot on the wagon. I'm just going to hope that he miraculously gains confidence in his shot come playoff time.
