I hated that deal the second it was announced. He should be making a quarter of that contract.

I wanted the Bucks to let him walk, get and get an offer. But no, Bucks give him a contract within the first minutes of free agency.
:banghead:

There was a caller on the Big Show tonight who was mocking the #fireKidd avatar guys as living in their parent's basement. He then went on to say the Bucks should try to get Doc Rivers as coach since the Clippers are imploding.

I've always preferred Edens over Lasry. Think he's much brighter. Hope what he says is true cuz Giannis is the top priority, make it be known this decision was for him and that were dedicating everything to win during his prime/career here.

(Still worried he didn't sign that 5th year tho)

Possibly the biggest difference between Kidd and Prunty?

Prunty knows this team isn't about him. He doesn't feel he should get more attention than the players.

Brogdon asked about the Kidd firing. He starts out answering with a straight face, being all serious. Then slowly busts out into a big 'ol cheeeese smile. :lol:

At least the morning show should be fun to listen to seeing Bart seems like he wanted kidd gone.

was at game and noticed how often Prunty and his assistants spent time talking to players on the bench when action was going on. dont remember that happening when kidd was in charge.

He's an A1 idiot who feels he's and expert because he's got his own show. Can't see real basketball IQ if it hit him in the face

Is there somewhere where I can listen to a stream of sparky on the internet? I could go for a few laughs.

Sparky sounds morose. Not about Kidd's departure, but about the apparent lack of an overall plan. I can see his perspective on the lack of a plan. There is not even clarity on who made this decision, much less why.

Middleton had a good game on the offensive end. He seemed super confident shooting the ball, likely in great part because he repeatedly was guarded by substandard defenders. An All-Star performance. But he was pretty bad on the defensive end.

Brown is not the savior that some here are ready to anoint, but I think he deserves limited playing time. He could become a glue guy. A thick body who is quick to loose balls and rebounds. I think he could be protected by playing him against the other team's back ups. Limited minutes would keep him physically fresh until he gains more experience.

Maker is a conundrum. He seems to be lacking confidence. Shooting 68% from the FT line is a sign of that. It's not JUST about adding weight. I found it interesting that Sun's TV analyst Eddie Johnson commented that Maker was going to be a good NBA player. He wasn't making a big deal of it, but he sees something that the rest of us do not. At this point.

Brogdon has grown more than I expected this year. Obviously a great game when he hardly misses from the field.

Bledsoe was hot and cold. He is a great playmaker, but he can throw the ball away and take horrible shots. My greatest fear with him is that he will not listen to Prunty or the next head coach. Too many NBA players only listen half-heartedly to the coaches. Bledsoe seems to play with that attitude. I hope I am wrong.

It seems to me that lately the Bucks seem to be more of an iso one-on-one team. Lots of iso ball, with Middleton, Bledsoe and Brogdon taking turns shooting. Checking the stat sheet, only 20 of 38 field goals were assisted. Henson seemed like the only player consistently benefiting from crisp passing, and that was mostly early in the game.

Not much to take away from the first game in the post-Kidd era.

Am I the only one who noticed during the tv broadcast at 1:09 left in the first half, that they showed DAVID GRUBRER FROM THE LAW OFFICE OF DAVID GRUBER in the front row, with a lady friend? I see that guy on so many brewer and bucks commercials, I always wanted to know his back story. Im thinking of writing some David Gruber fan fiction. Good luck on your date, ambulance chaser!

Google "WSSP-AM".

You can "Listen Live"

You can also use the Tune-In App on a mobile device.

He literally admitted on the Big Show Kidd wasn't a good Xs and Os coach and had flaws and then went on to say he didn't want him fired because he worries about how Giannis will take it and who will replace him.

WTF?

You admit a guy can't coach and then worry that they'll hire a guy who also can't coach? At least try to get better. Is he Kidd's lapdog?

GBBucks · Post #140 » by **GBBucks** » Tue Jan 23, 2018 4:49 am

I'm not sure if my math is correct, but extrapolating the data, and assuming we outscore our opponents every game post-Kidd, we are on pace to finish 60-22, which should be enough to not have our 1st round pick conveyed.

And I'm not even counting getting Jabari back. He may shave off a couple losses magically. We may have a shot at 72-10. The sky is the limit without jason Kidd.

Bucks are 2/2 on getting rid of wife beaters this year too.

Everything's coming up Milhouse!
