I think they have a chance in this game, but I think the Mavs will win. Mavs 102 Bucks 91
Absolutely embarassing, which is a theme I'm getting damn sick of lately when I think about how the Bucks just played. We were down by 20 for almost the whole second half, and the only time we were in the game was during a 7-0 run to start the game, which was followed promptly by like 6 consecutive turnovers. I don't know what the hell is wrong with these guys, but they'd better get their sh*t together. And now we face the Spurs. After being 6 games over .500 just a short time ago, we're about to be 19-18
