    I'm not crying. I even said well before the game if we defend the paint well we win the game. As you seen, we didn't defend the paint well.... so we lost. It's quite obvious why we lost it.

    Definitely think they both could of gave us some good minutes, Nene especially. Silver lining is Clint went 10/12 from the free throw line but he definitely didn’t look like his normal self.

    Dantoni has been tight with the rotations since he got here so that really didn’t surprise me much. Some timeouts during that run would of been nice to give guys a breather and stop the momentum if he wasn’t going to go to the bench more. Keep things in perspective though, we are down 2 of our top 4 so it is what it is.

    Why MDA played clark like 3 minutes in the first half and then not a single second in the 2nd, sometimes the **** that he does doesn't make any sense

    We need a big 3&D forward real bad. More than we need Gordon.

    this is very true. but what's also true is the bucks are not beating TOR, GS, HOU, or probably even BOS in a playoff series

    Morey waiting for that elusive 3rd star to fall into his lap instead of getting us some real depth.

    You keep posting that the Bucks are boring beatable and not that much. Exactly how Harden haters cry and whine about when their team loses.
    Its just a loss relax. If u dont like them dont watch them.

    The media will already spin that Giannis beat Harden tonight.... and he is clear MVP over him. They won't mention the fact Harden had 15 more points and less FT attempts than Giannis.

    Remains to be seen how the Rockets take care of lesser opponents after how they handled the first month of the season. Hopefully so.

    43 mins for 33yo Tucker...

    if only we had another option...
    like Clark playing 5 mins 1-1 for 3, an asst, a rebound and +12 in those 5 mins...

    small sample size... but cmon runnin a 33 yo for 43 mins is asinine...

    I still contend that Ennis did more good than bad. He played good on Giannis. he was a +1. Gary also played fantastic. Their length was a problem along with PJ, they were good.

    @Nook has been saying this for more than a month now. i don't know if it's tilman keeping everything on ice to see if there's still a chance to be a contender this year (and if not then to just start salary dumping across the board) -- or if morey is really just this dense.

    I gotta stand firm that this one is totally on MDA .

    Can't blame Morey for not getting pieces when MDA doesn't even try to play the pieces he has .

    Clark played great in the first half ... benched
    Knight played decently .... gets minutes cut
    Clint having off night ... Nene sitting out was predetermined.

    3 possible adjustments .... 2 proven to be at least neutral in the first half ... and he goes away from them . Playing the undisciplined Ennis more and relying more on the core guys to play heavy minutes and try to pull it out .

    It's some of the worst tactics I've ever seen .
