When will people realize that Blake Griffin isn't an all star and Jordan Crawford is inconsistent?

Griffin's an all star as long as the fans say he is.

There's 82 games in a season. They played without Wade. They flew from MIAMI to Philly. It happens.

It does go to show in part, how penalizing it is to play a back-to-back when your opponent is coming off a day of rest. I've never understood why the NBA doesn't schedule back-to-back games against opponents who are both playing two straight games.

I agree 100%. The NBA should be cut down to 62 games similar to how it was during the 2011-2012 season. Their schedules are insane.

Someone might want to explain the concept of tanking to Philly.

Pacers look good

Monta went off yesterday, me gusta.

[Messiah]

Not worthy of a thread I would say but did you guys see CARMELO ANTHONY?



62 points, 10 rebounds. When 'Melo is on point with his chucking, he cannot be contained.

Also Parsons with 10 3s in 2nd half.

I guess it should be noted in here since they almost qualify as an NBA team, the Cleveland Cavaliers fired general manager Chris Grant today, after losing to the LA Lakers, who finished the game with four legally eligible players by 11 last night.

Do you guys think the Bucks hit 50 losses before they do 10 wins?

They are just dreadful.

It would take an 11-game losing streak to get there and even as bad as they are it's hard to lose more than 10 games in a row. I say it comes close, but they'll find a 10th win before their 50th loss.

Yeah, I think I agree with this.

The thing is, this just solidifies why I can never truly be a Bucks fan. I wish them well and everything, but I just could never get invested in them. It's a different case with the Bucks than it is with some long-suffering franchises... with the Bucks, there is actually zero desire in management to produce a winner. They just don't care. There's no commitment to the team or to the fans with the people who are running the franchise. TBH I don't even know how they're profitable, they practically have to give tickets away these days because everyone in Milwaukee knows that the Kohls don't give a shit.

People in Milwaukee will dedicate themselves to losers. The Brewers have one of the most loyal fanbases in the four major sports, for goodness' sake. But it's because they actually give a shit, haha.

There's been movements in the recent past for Milwaukee to ship the Bucks off elsewhere so we can either demolish the Bradley Center (which isn't the greatest facility) and bring in a pro soccer team, or attempt to lure in an NHL team instead. As long as the Bucks are in town, I don't see Milwaukee getting an NHL or MLS team, but this is WAY more of a soccer and hockey city than it is a basketball city.

^^^ I think your opinion is about to change about management. NBA is a rare bird. There's so few players in the league compared to other sports leagues which means it's even harder to get one of the truly great players in the league. So you have to tank at the right time and truly suck to get a great player through the draft. And one great player can turn a team into a playoff team and a potential title contender. Now, the Bucks will likely always have trouble with drawing NBA free agents since NBA stars have this ridiculous idea that they can only move to about 6 markets in the country for it to be a good idea because nightlife and partying in warm places is more important than basketball, but that's another discussion for another time.
