Mike Redd should never, ever, ever again dunk the ball.

Ever.

Toronto is a great team to watch,

Waukee needed Des Mason.

I can't figure out Larry K. When the Bucks couldn't score in the third quarter, he didn't put in someone who had been scoring - Charlie V. By the time he did put him back in the game in the third quarter, the game was effectively over with.

It's hard to believe our offense could be worse this year without the Stotts strategy of little Mo and Mike take as many shots as they want and ignore the big men, but it is. And the defense hasn't improved. The only thing that seems better is the rebounding. There doesn't seem to be much of a strategy in any way they play.

I have taken a few days off from posting on here, because quite frankly i am so pissed about this team that i was worried i would say something and get kicked off the site. With that being said, this team is pathetic in every facet of the game, this little war between bogut and redd is starting to kill the team. Trade one of them, more specifically trade redd. This team needs to be built around andrew and he needs to start getting 20 shots a game, i dont of anyone else agrees with me but i feel he is the best player on the team.
