3rd kill us. After Finch sit ANT half of the fourth, he came with better attitude and we make a run. Too late. till don't understand why Finch did not put back Mike or Morrisduring the bleeding 3rd. Cost us the game.

Great game by the way from Rudy and KAT. They are the main reason why we stay in the game.

trying to remember the last time McDaniels showed up against a playoff caliber team

he gets frozen out sometimes on offense, but he doesn't contribute much on rebounding and doesn't really run the floor to get transition buckets

That was annoying, but it's interesting that our bad/frustrating losses almost always seem to be against the East. Much better than Phoenix losing to Houston for example.

My final comment regarding tonight's game. Losing sucks and we lost, but the Sky is NOT falling.

It’s only a problem if you want to win a championship. That’s all

GG guys. Wish you guys were in the East like you should be, would be an insane rivalry. Bucks were being **** on the entire allstar break so you caught us at a bad time, definitely a statement game for us.

No the sky is not falling. But, seeding matters, and giving away winnable games is how you lose home court. In the regular season all that matters is getting to the dance. In the playoffs you have to fight to stay there, and all these little advantages, (or lack there of,) come into play in a big way.

P.S it’s not that we lost, it’s how we lost. The sky might not be falling, but we aren’t rising into the stratosphere like we should be either.

We still not mature enough. Probably have to wait 1 or 2 years more before we can really expect to win a title. For me at this stage i will consider semi final conf as the minimum target, will be delighted if we make WCF.

Did the Bucks go big, was this another case of a team going big and beating us at our own game?

Eh, noticed bunch of Giannis at C lineups. Just think Brook is kind of a nightmare for you guys, noticed lots of trying to force it inside against Brook and it just doesn't work.

First goal … stop telling ant how good he is

Second goal … enforce the first goal

Horrid way to start post all-star break - at home - vs terrible coach … 1 more and sound the alarms!!!! This attitude needs to be corrected.

I thought Finch let the Milwaukee run go way too long without calling a timeout.

Watching it, it felt like the game would be won in the 3rd quarter and it was.

Use your damn timeouts!

EDIT:

Yes, I just checked and we were up 6 at half and Finch didn’t call a timeout until we were down 10 with 2:45 left in the 3rd.

UNACCEPTABLE by Finch. You just cannot let them gain 15 points on us before you call a timeout. It’s waaaay to much opportunity for the opponent to build momentum and it’s way too late in the game.

How can he risk us getting down by 10 after being up 6? I really don’t get it. Some assistant coach or Connelly really needs to talk to Finch about that. Just too passive.

Gotta protect that potential win when it MATTERS. NBA teams are too good to let them build momentum like that.

I was worried when I saw we have national tv espn game that it may effect our decision making. Sad to see some of our players are that predictable.

Are you worried you might win said poll?
