You have got to be f***ing kidding me. The Bucks are officially the most maddening team in the league. I can not even say anything else at this point, I am so pissed off about this game. We just lost, at home, to the worst team in the league, and one of the worst in recent memory. We beat the Spurs, we beat the Mavs. We lost to the Knicks. What. The. F***.
Some had to lose to the new look Knicks, I never thought it would be the Bucks, especially on their homecourt. I think this team has hit a wall and need something to spark them again. Earlier in the season they caught a lot of teams off guard, but they haven't made the adjustments. TJ Ford has been struggling lately, especially with his perimeter defense. He's also turning the ball over with more frequency than he was doing at the beginning of the season. I still don't understand the way Stotts uses Dan Gadzuric. When he gets 17-20 MPG he's producing for the Bucks, and the Bucks win total is a lot higher. Record when Gadz gets 17+ Minutes the Bucks are 10-4: <font size=""1"">@NJ - W - 20:33 ORL - W - 17:30 @LAL - L - 18:55 @PHX - W - 20:51 @NYK - W - 19:14 @IND - L - 19:03 @ATL - W - 21:37 HOU - L - 17:27 @DET - L - 17:58 BOS - W - 18:31 ORL - W - 25:39 CHA - W - 17:45 SEA - W - 17:55 @ATL - W - 25:32</font>
Of couse you were going to expecting a post from me sooner or later. The Knicks aren't that bad of a team... just look at their talent. They just haven't had a chance to mesh together for various reasons. The last three games the Knicks played at a very high level and although they lost against Memphis and Chicago, the game went down to the wire with the Knicks fighting hard. Losing to the Knicks isn't exactly a bad thing despite their record indicating it. I mean the Knicks are capable of playing at a high level as their six game win streak showed. They, too, beat Dallas, and also Phoenix and Cleveland. Just some words from a Knicks homer. Take it for what it's worth.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Schaddy:</div><div class="quote_post">Yeah, anyways, I think Terry Stotts should be fired.</div> Just wondering, why did they fire the other guy?
Because he wasn't a very good coach either....Kohl always goes for the cheap guy, and there is a reason they are cheap... Knicks are horrible, and there is no excuse to lose to them at home...I was embaressed sitting there in the arena watching it...I wish I could get refunded
