oh heck yeah i forgot the wolves have the late game tonight

 

lol the Cavs are atrocious.

 

we traaaash

 

performing quite the escape

 

that's the worst win i've ever seen

 

hahahaha Refs really needed the Cavs to win that game the way it all went down that last minute. Very comical.

Good to see D. Rose back. He did well with the minutes he was given.

 

Jesus Christ fast forward me to mid-April please

 

The Cavs tried to win that game. They played LeBron huge minutes, again. The excuses about them not trying and they’ll be fine in April needa be put to rest.

 

He’s gonna leave for Golden State too isn’t he

 

I hate our coaches our GM and our owners

I’ve never felt less hopeful about this team as I do right now

Nothing will change until Kidd is gone but it seems like the GM and ownership don’t understand that

Jason Kidd will probably be the Bucks coach next season and it will be another lost season.

 

And I then I’ll take my fandom to golden state as well

 

as of right now that team is too old.

 

Being old with zero defense seems like a bad combo but that’s just me.

 

I’d be ecstatic if the Bucks did this trade NBA Trade Ideas: Could Cavs' Brooklyn Pick Get Them Kemba Walker?

 

watching towns lock down guards is awesome.

 

Actually, LeBron played well under what he normally plays. It was one of only 12 games this year he played just 34 minutes or less.

And you cannot tell me with a straight face that he was engaged in the second half. He took one shot in the final 3 or 4 Minutes, which was a completely ill-advised 27 footer. He had the ball down low on 3 different occasions in final 2 minutes and instead of going up strong he passed it out.

The team completely shut down in the 2nd half - 3 assists to 19 in the 1st half. They just completely shut down at times, mostly due to lack of focus.

This is again the 4th straight season they have these mid-season meltdowns. It infuriates me, but I have no reason to believe they will not turn it on in the playoffs.

 

Towns really needs to stop shooting threes though. Woof.

 

He had to play 35 against the magic to win by 1. lol. Yes that’s bad.

You think it’s focus. I think they play horrible defense. The numbers back me. See you in May.

 

i guess it’d be fine considering we aren’t really giving anything up but that trade is a net zero. genuinely shocked belinelli is still in the league. what does he offer that teletovic or snell don’t? honestly forgot who babbitt is. dedmon is somewhat exciting but he’s in his first year as a starter and it’s for the worst team in the league.

 

I know it’s bad. It’s fucking awful and I’m as frustrated as anyone. I have a melt down on Twitter every single game, haha.

And the D is literally nonexistent. They were 21st in D last year too (they’re worse this year, obviously). I don’t know, it doesn’t make sense, I just expect them to turn it on come playoff time. Irrational, I know, But it seemed irrational the last 3 years too, but they came around.

 

Teletovic isn’t playing at all this season so Belinelli will fill that void plus you can never have enough shooters / Dedmon becomes our best rebounder and we can send Thon to developmental and Babbitt is a decent backups PF option something the Bucks don’t have

It improves our bench our defense and our shooting

It would suck to lose Brown obviously but they need more inside help - Henson does decent against starting big men but it’s the backup big men that kill us because Thon fucking sucks. Having Henson come off the bench to match up against backup C’s would help the team tremendously

 

Eric Gordon has been so good this year.
