Milwaukee Bucks
« on: February 08, 2017, 10:09:13 PM »
I love the Bucks but is it just me or are we expected to make the playoffs every year at the beginning of the year? Watching them has been disappointing lately but we got Khris back that should help us out. Bad thing Jabari went down with a knee injury. They remind me of MU, no defense

I think the only year the Bucks were expected to make the Playoffs at the start of the year in recent memory was last year, with Jabari coming back and coming off of a 6 seed and scaring the Bulls in the first round the previous season.

Coming into this season it might've been expected until Middleton got hurt in the preseason.  Then hope might've been there when they started decently, but we're seeing a Kidd coached team to the tee now.

So to answer the question, no.  Since shortly after the Allen/Big Dog group was broken up the Bucks have not been expected to do much.

If you don't think they play defense in the NBA, you don't watch much NBA.

Hoping for good news on Jabari. He's really improved and come back strong from the first injury.

Agreed.  He's saying a hyperextended knee, but from what I've seen that's almost always a straight forward/back just awkward extension.  Non-contact knee injuries where the knee buckles inwards?  Looks like an ACL tear to my untrained eye.

Kidd skipped the post game press conference to have a "basketball discussion" with Hammond.  Wish it would be Kidd's exit interview, but unfortunately it's more likely to be, "What do we do with our 4 without Jabari?"

Lasry was in on it as well.

People around the league saying (not surprisingly, but very unfortunately) torn ACL.

Do yourself a favor.   Look up on youtube ANY star from the 50's/60's/70's.    Watch how they played defense on Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Wilt.     Notice the complete lack of help defense.    Compare to today.   Yes, the physicality of the 90's has been eliminated.    But the switching, helping, doubling, hedging is infinitely more sophisticated than it was 40-50 years ago. 
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Doubtful.  They're not gonna make a run this year without Parker.  If they make a trade it'll be with next year in mind.  Next year at this time Parker should be coming back for the stretch run and hopefully give them a boost.  This year is pretty much down the toilet now.  Get a lottery pick and trade it--they've gotta stop getting younger.

Feel terrible for Parker.  Great kid. Second time for the same knee.

Isn't it the third?  I remember him at Madness on crutches when he was in high school...was that a knee?

They should tank, and either trade up(draft is loaded with names like Jajuan Johnson and Luke Fishcer)  and if they can't trade up trade it for someone who is talented. Since JP is out Thon is going to thrive

The Bucks just gave up 48 points to the Lakers in the first...quarter. That is a complete joke. You could put MU's defense out there and just based on effort they wouldn't even give up 48 points in a quarter. Show some pride. I don't care how bad of defensive players are on the roster, 48 points in a quarter is 100% a lack of effort.

How long does Kidd get? He has to be the worst coach in the NBA. There's a reason a horrible Nets franchise was looking to kick him to the curb. Leave it to the Bucks to not only take him, but to give up a pick to do it!

This and college basketball has better shooters are the dumbest myths in sports. There's a reason why these high-scoring college players flame out in the NBA. The length and athleticism on the defensive end in the NBA just doesn't allow for easy 3's (With the exception of Kidd's insane defensive strategy of forcing the ball around for a wide-open corner 3.)

Down 63-37 to the nuggets at halftime. At least they came out and showed some fight in the second half.
