    The Bucks biggest strength is our biggest weakness. Coupled with them shooting well and that's what happens.

    Mostly because we went from a middle of hte pack defensive team to a god awful one with only really adding one player who isn't bad on D, a team doesn't drop like that unless its serious injuries or a change of coaching. So i'm assuming it'll revert back to the mean by the end of the year.

    Seriously, what development do you see? That was every bit as bad as he other losses. No defense, careless with the ball, etc. beginning to lose hope that we are actually better than our mediocre record.

    Did the same thing against the Warriors in two of our playoff games against them I think.

    Oh bullshit. When the Bucks took the lead in the 1st, that was pretty much the game right there. Even I saw it.

    Well that's what trash defensive teams do. They relapse within a snap of a finger

    This is a personnel issue. So that doesn't change obviously till huge changes are made

    I think Milwaukee is kind of a kryptonite team for us. They're big, lanky, and they're one of, if not the best 3pt defensive team in the league. We live and die at the 3. Horrible matchup for us. We had a chance. We dominated the first half. There are positives here. For this game, specifically. We're fine.

    This team is like swimming with neutral buoyancy, and trying to get to the surface.

    We have no defined role players on this team. We have a bunch of "Hybrid" players, and Stotts who has no game plan for them.

    I almost get the feeling like he tells them "look, just go out there and run around a bunch! Fuck the plays!".

    That strategy is really paying off for Philadelphia.

    We will NEVER beat elite teams on a regular basis, of which there are about 6 in this league, with the current roster and coaching staff that we have. It will never happen.

    And if you think we would have done better tonight against GS, you're a fucking moron.

    And no, I'm not saying that anyone said that. Just saying.

    That's because we aren't elite yet. Rosters aren't set in stone, and on the flip side of the coin, you can't just snap your fingers and have everything your roster needs just because you want it. We have to work with what we've got.
