Magic get an impressive win against the Lakers and then a few days later lose to the Warriors. We should be able to call that a Hammond.

It’s impressive that Hammond has almost exactly been able to recreate the treadmill Bucks team of yesteryear.

We are complaining about our crowd but in Houston they are in a league of their own for a playoff team with a constant MVP candidate of 4-5 years.

Half empty most of the time and Lebron even came tonight and got louder MVP chants than Harden on National TV. Embarrassing.

I don't blame them though. Watching their basketball and Harden dribbling, flopping and chucking 3s for so many years must drain your soul out..

He took 22 threes... crazy

Marcus smart is going to end up being the Celtics all time leader in a bunch of random stat categories

He’s one of guys where every time he puts it up, I never think it’s going in.

Bucks crowd may be near the bottom of the league but no doubt better than Houston. Miami and Atlanta have to be at the bottom of that list though.

Wonder if Bazemore is on the chopping block with the Kings. Might make a return to Bud.

Yeah having another plus defender who can knock down a three would suck.

Not the same guy he was 3 years ago. He can't hit the three. He is 32.7% from three this year, and played 67 games last year and went 32.0% from three. Dude sucks now. Keep him away.

So does he Cleveland George Hill suck or Indy Wes Matthews suck?

Well seeing as George Hill shot 35.1% and 46.4% with Cleveland from 3. And Wes shot 36.9% from three with Indiana... I would say he sucks more than both of those situations.

Baddy Chuck · Post #1792 » by **Baddy Chuck** » Sun Jan 19, 2020 9:29 am

Absolutely wild to me that people think players just "lose" skills out of the blue. Like you seriously believe Bazemore couldn't return to a say 35%+ shooter on this team off of Giannis? A whopping 2% to match Wes Matthews or Sterling Brown. A total of 4 more made threes this season. That's what in your opinion makes a player worthless? Wild.

Baze makes too much $$. If he was a buyout candidate, sure. Otherwise it'd take too much to make salaries work. Not sure the Kings would buy him out either and doubt Baze is giving up all that overpaid $$ he's getting.

Don't really see why the Kings would keep him past the deadline. Try to win 20 games maybe?

Plossum · Post #1795 » by **Plossum** » Sun Jan 19, 2020 10:05 am

Yeah fair point. I guess it depends on how he’s playing and if they can still make the playoffs.

Jez2983 · Post #1796 » by **Jez2983** » Sun Jan 19, 2020 10:26 am

I'd take him over Sterling. He and DJ can be moved on now.

Depends how much he's willing to kick back in a buyout. Guys like Iggy expect to get bought out while they're keeping the full amount. But that is not how it works... Based on what he's shown recently I think he's a min guy next season so giving up some money now to showcase himself for a bigger contract in the summer could make sense.

I didn't realize the Celtics are 2-6 in their last 8 games.

A couple of these teams will likely make a trade, but right now the East standings would be ideal PO seeding for the Bucks.

I said it a week ago and it still stands; no one wants that second seed. Everyone who gets there keeps losing. We'll have first spot sewn up in no time at this rate.
