Miles not exactly covering himself in glory. -21 +/- so far. -48 last time out. Yikes.

We've lost each game against the Bucks by at least 31pts.

This game isn't going much better.

Just a slight talent discrepancy in these Bucks games.

We came out in some sort of sleepwalky daze - offensive lack of movement combined with don't-care defense and didn't seem to have any energy until the bench guys started to cycle in (which tells me part Cliff strategy, part starter apathy and tentativeness from the recent ass-beat). At that point, tone had been set, damage done. This said, bad matchup for us - a team of grown-ass men. They take up a lot of court space, are super physical, and kill you for any mistakes.

BTW - with a team as big and old as the Bucks, why would we open with walk-it-up, slow-it-down halfcourt sets? Single action crap that let them switch at will. Oh, that's right.

I hope the front office doesn't just look at our pathetic offensive and think that it's only bad because lamelo is out. No doubt it would be better with him, but there's no excuse for our offense to be this bad at this point in the season. I don't watch a ton of other teams play anymore, I typically just watch our games, but when I do tune in to watch other teams I'm always amazed at how refreshing the offense looks.

We've basically plugged the new guys into the same roles the old guys had. And now we're back to sucking. And this is right after we looked fantastic when those new guys first got off the plane before any system got put in place.

Cliff is a nice guy and says the right things, but his coaching is awful.

And now he's ranting in the post-game about wreaking of losing.

Cliff's "statues with lead boots" offense is getting found out.
