    Sweet scoop shot under the arm of the defender by Giles!

    I always think we can win any game under any circumstance but it's fair to say I didn't see this roster beating the Bucks tonight....good news is Nas is getting the rust off...down the road that'll contribute to wins

    This was my goal heading into the game.

    I think we're at a point we can run Elleby, Belvins, Giles, Ant, and Nas into the ground. Would be nice to have two more scrubs avaiable since we'll actually need Nas and Ant tomorrow.

    Not happening. Our starters about to sit for the rest of the game. Milwaukee will leave starters in to embarass us

    Don’t have to fix every game though. Can’t go 82-0. Every team has a game like this.

    I don’t think completely uncontested layups will have high return PPP, but layups where the offensive player has to drive hard and he beats his man... point is he’s far under the basket. I can’t separate contested vs uncontested but I can compare all made layups vs other shots.

    Right. Do we have to play the 4th? Is there a white flag we can wave?

    which is exactly the same as losing by 1 in triple overtime...only the chances of injury are decreased....it's a training camp game...

    That makes sense.

    My point is that we have so many horrible point-of-attack defenders who get blown by on one or two dribbles, that refusing to help would result in a strong majority of uncontested layups.

    Either way, would love to see the data even if it doesn't apply to this situation.

    The biggest bright spot of this game has been the revelation of Little.

    Looks like he has become a legitimate shooting threat.

    No, shitty defense, sub-par play, lazy passes and overall no sense of urgency. That's not the first time this has happened this year.
