    The Bucks are 2-8 in their last ten games. The Raps are 7-3.
    The Bucks are 26-28. The Raps are 23-33.
    We're 4.0 games back and climbing.
    For a team that started 4-19 this is pretty surprising!
    Outside chance?

    the bucks are a better team, definitely deeper but they are dysfunctional with jennings and ellis. they have two stud forwards in john henson and larry sanders who could develop into the best shot blocking tandem in the nba in the coming years.

    The first half of tonight's game was about the flattest I've seen the Raps since the 4-19 start. No energy at all.

    Terrible game tonight.

    Answer: yes, well out of reach.

    The Bucks beat us and win their third straight, we lose our fourth straight, pushing the gap to 7.5 games.

    Hard fought game but its time to start playing Val and Ross. Sit Anderson and please stop playing Bargnani. I have no idea why he started today.

    What don't you like about Anderson? More than ten years ago (shit... time flies), I remember him being the rock of a Final Four team, where he started over Z-Bo, and most recently, I remember him being the only saving grace the Raps had against the Grizzlies in the second half, where he again outplayed Z-Bo. What about his game do ya'll not like? I was really hoping he was included in the Gay deal.

    Also, does it look like ya'll are going to make a bid at him in free agency?

    He's a chucker. He has about 500 shots in 1000 minutes this season (LeBron has 1000 shots in 2000 minutes). Problem is he shoots 37%.

    He gets hot sometimes but most Raps fans are unhappy that he's playing ahead of Ross & Fields. Some would like to see him cut immediately.

    These games are the biggest problems. When he gets hot, he thinks he's Michael Jordan. And just because a shot goes in, doesn't mean its a good shot. This was the case last night when Anderson went into hero mode instead of staying in the flow of the offense
