Thon and Terry don't have any back problems at 40 though.

I know you're the king of "who cares" "doesn't matter" s but yeah, when it's consistently a problem whether our guys play well or not, yeah, it's a problem.

We seem to lay down and just get wrecked in our losses lately. Outside of the mavs, our last losses were by 31, 15, 25, and 20, and in those we were basically never in the game and like tonight it wasn't even as close as the 20 points.

That said we're 14-5 in our last 19, and while the defense has taken a nosedive again in the last 4 games, the jury is still out on which team this really is.

This team has no center and has no PG. That's been the problem for two years now.

For the past month we've gotten passable to sometimes good PG play from Brogdon who also turns Monroe into a passable 25mpg big man.

No Brogdon, no dice.

Never really listened to Sparky for any length of time because he's stupid and he's confirming that thought with his hard-on for Beasley.

A couple nights ago they beat Boston in Boston on the 2nd night of a back to back and they had the league's best record last months.

**** happens.

Like Sparky, respect Sparky, all the usual disclaimers.

But yeah, going on and on about how Kidd has to give Beasley big minutes and tell him to "take over" is not a good take.

**** happens.

And weeks before that you were calling us one of the 5 worst teams in the league.

**** sure does happen. A lot of the same, repeated ****. A lot of that **** dealing with Kidd's coaching.

Well Giannis was -24, Middleton was -17, Thon was -12, Snell was -19, Delly was -15 and Beasley was -9. We know what that has to mean.

Actually, like it or not, Beasley was the only guy that didn't look overwhelmed.

Middleton has always been streaky.

Yeah. It's such an awful, awful idea to give the ball to a player who can actually create his own shot and shoots over 54 percent... CRAZY!

There was not a single bright spot in tonight's game. Not a single Buck's player did anything right. Couldn't shoot, couldn't pass, couldn't defend, couldn't rebound, couldn't even f*cking dribble. Once again, Kidd didn't help, but he could've coached the game of his life and it wouldn't have mattered. Even Popovich couldn't have gotten the Bucks to within 25 tonight. Of course, the only guy who looked like he could've provided the spark offensively (Beasley) wasn't afforded sufficient playing time to do so. And then he ended up re-injuring his knee, fittingly. Lol.

These are still the Bucks, after all. Besides that slip up in 2001, they've done a pretty bang up job of never allowing their fan base to get too excited. :)

Really felt like they might punch through that magic "42-win" barrier for only the second time in 26 years. But now would take a split just to hit 42 wins.
