hahaha.. All of that comeback and great shots by Caron go for naught. I am going to exclude CB from any criticism of the team. He was brilliant the rest of the team was ****ing pathetic and I mean PATHETIC. Brendan and AJ should be docked 1 game's pay for their performances.

Even that made no sense with Butler inbounding.

CB should have had the last shot.

I thought Haywood was our second-best player tonight. Bogut went 6-15 when Haywood was in the game.

WE better learn from this is we want to move beyond pretender status. i would really like to hear EJs post game speech. He needs to lay into them


WTF WAS THAT SHOT BY AJ AT THE END!!! (not that the chances of tying were that good but for f's sake a 3/4 court heave after the inbounds when there was over 2 seconds left is itotally f'ing stupid)

Jamison rushed that shot, he should have passed it back to Butler who was at least square to the basket and unguarded.

Poor clock management by Jamison. 2.3 seconds means he could have taken one, maybe two dribbles in and gotten off a higher percentage shot.

Also, why was Caron the one inbounding the ball? The only player on our team that was hitting anything today was the one who was excluded from even having the possibility of attempting the last shot? That's not right.

The Bucks played good D, the ball swung to Haywood with 4 seconds left. There wasn't time to kick it out to Butler, even if he was open.


This is why you don't have Brendan in to close-out close games, he's not a clutch, go-to person in that situation.....he's a poor to average finisher around the basket, despite hitting the occasional 10 footer.

i could have sworn there was a 3 pointer by the Bucks in the first half that looked like a long 2. someone help me out here. the Bucks were going right to left and it was a shot from right. if it was really a 2 they should protest. they would have a 1 point win at end of regulation. i could be wrong though. i'm pissed.

I agree that it's better to have Butler or Jamison taking the shots when possible. Sometimes, it's just not possible. It was good D. All I'm saying is that Haywood didn't do anything wrong that play, nor did the team. You don't always get a good shot on every possession. There are plenty of things to complain about tonight. But that possession wasn't the problem.

this whole wierd feature (currently on my csn+ at least) on getting punched in the balls is quite apt though. omg at least im laughing at the timing of this show but they are actually showing CSI style the biological impact of getting punched in the nads.

That possession was HUGE as was the one before it. Caron air-balled a 3 when we had a chance to go up by 6-7 but it's hard to criticize him because he was our only player who showed up tonight. Brendan should never be taking a shot in crunch time like that, completely unacceptable. AD deserves a big FU for this game as well. I forgot about him. He killed us with bad turnovers and missed FTs.

A bad EJ loss with help from some poor performances.

Very predictable. It started the last couple of games. The offense has been pathetic, EJ called them out after the Memphis game and they played like crap again tonight. You can't just live off the Boston wins.

Especially now that Boston is proving that they are quite beatable. Anything less than a sweep of Toronto would be disappointing considering how poorly we have played in the last 3 games.

So, who's going to start the "Are the Bucks Better w/o Redd?" thread on the Bucks' board?
