On Larry Krystkowiak's debut with the team and a night where no one would likely watch any NBA games, the Bucks defeated the San Antonio Spurs. Quite thoroughly too at 101 - 90. I expected Bogut to do more, but winning against one of the league's best without Simmons, Villanueva and Boykins is a great start for the interim coach.
This is the conundrum that is the Bucks. They can beat the Spurs and play a great all-around game (even with Mo out of the game for 1 1/2 quarters). And they can get dumptrucked by the Celtics. It all depends on who wants to show up and play hard on a given night. Mo's ejection was particularly troubling - come on man, have some sense of time and score. I hope that this does mean that the Bucks are going to start playing better ball, but we've seen it before Good win, and congrats to the other Larry, way to start your coaching career.
The Celtics with Pierce are better than the Bucks without Redd. You need to get over that loss. BTW, Congrats to the Bucks. Whenever you see a team play so well the game after their coach is fired, then it's obvious they hated their coach.
^Especially after a championship contender. Great win for Milwaukee though. This caught me by surprise, but with the Bucks out of the playoff picture in the East, I'm happy with any win against the Spurs.
44, I mean no disrespect to the Celts, that was just a convenient example. Believe me, there's been other bizarre and embarassing losses I could've compared to And I agree that it's a nice feeling to be free of Stotts and to know that the team is responding.
