The Bucks free fall continues... they simply are no longer willing to play defense. And Giannis is so hell bent to try to make up for it he's fouled out of 2 consecutive games. Parker completely in a funk, even though he score some tonight. 

Every team buries them in 3s, they have no willingness to stop it. And now the 40% shooting nights are rearing their ugly head again... 

They are too predictable to expect a different outcome. No one can hit a fuc*king jump shot to save their lives. And their struggles on O are leading to complete breakdowns on D. They're getting pounded by one of the worst offenses in basketball... 

Wheels are totaling coming off the bus and they are in jeopardy of the season slipping away from them if not careful.   

This is why I can't stand Jason Kidd. Other than his first season this team has underachieved and he seems to make a lot of excuses.  They continue to regress and that's unacceptable. 

Nice game to watch when the whole team is passing the ball. 16 assists for Delly and Malcolm- Steal of the draft. Bench played well last night too. Terry with a nice 4th quarter, 3 big steals and several key shots. The jet still has some fuel !!

Plumley sighting !! 

Sixers next, just heard Embiid is out. He was a beast when they played last week. 

The Bucks are one of the best passing teams in the NBA. But they are also one of the worst teams giving up assists and 3s.

They have improved as rebounders, but still give up too many offensive rebounds for a team that gives up so many 3s. That differential has killed them in clutch moments all season. 

Parker got benched by his teammates the other night. Kidd's team rule is not to air dirty laundry in the press, and Parker did. Nothing major, but you could tell he played pretty pissed off last night- best we've seen in weeks. 

Giannis is emotionally mature- Parker a longer way to go. 

Without Embiid. Frustrating.

They fought back, but haven't learned how to close out games yet. Could've gone up five late and didn't.

Middleton will help when he returns.

Patience. Their record is worse than their numbers.

Giannis is a 4th year player and Parker is a 3rd year player. Brogdon will be on the all rookie team. Greg Monroe is as good an offensive big man off the bench as anyone in the league. Right now, this team would not make the playoffs. At some point, something has to change. 

The embarrassing moments were 2 key inbounds plays, both resulting in turnovers, both coming out of timeouts. If Monroe hits Giannis on the lob, I think they win. But he chucks out of Bounds. The other one was another example of coaching incompetence. 

They're a talented but poorly coached team. 

Delly is such a scrappy dude... after the 3 threes, he jacks a screener, boxes a dude out of bounds on a rebound... you hate him if he's on their team, but he plays like that for your team and you smile. Such an irritant! Lol! 

The Bucks did a really nice job fighting to get back in it. Good effort defense, and this is the Greg Monroe we were hoping to see-he has been the go to guy when they need a score - and has been producing and even playing solid defense. 

Fight to take it to OT with defense and some clutch 3"s from Snell. Then careless play from Delly, and Parker. Gets to clutch time and the Bucks key players come up small.  

Parker has been slumping for a while now. Really taking his lumps. Friday instead of a breakaway dunk he smacks a guy in the face and they get 2FTs. Last night he has a chance to help the Bucks get the last shot on Monroe's steal and throws the ball away. 

His confidence is suffering and that's a big part of why they're on the skid they're on. 

Middleton getting close

Might be back around All-Star break. Man if they can get anything out of him...

Hope they are being smart. 

 

....and Thon is starting. Henson and Plumley sucking or is the tanking beginning ??

Henson, talk about a disappointment !!

I hope the Bucks don't do something stupid and make a panic trade before the break. The Ray Allen trade was the worst such decision, but the JJ Redick trade wasn't exactly a great moment either. Trading Brevin Knight was also questionable. I'm worried they'll trade Parker since he seems to be in Kidd's doghouse right now.

Jason Kidd needs to go, but he might try to buy himself some time by scapegoating a guy like Jabari.
