Quote:
Atlanta - The way this season has gone for the Milwaukee Bucks, there is more than enough blame for everyone to share.
But when it comes to the Bucks' maddening inability to play hard and as a team for any extended period of time, coach Larry Krystkowiak is willing to fall on the sword for that.
"I haven't done a good job," Krystkowiak said. "The bottom line is it's my responsibility to get our guys to play together and harder and for a lot of this season we haven't done that. So I've failed to do that. But that's what I want to try and capture in the last games of the season. I take responsibility for that."
The Bucks' horrid offensive showing in their 78-73 loss to the Miami Heat's group of eager and hungry D-Leaguers was only another indication of the depths to which this Milwaukee team can tumble.
The defeat - the second in four games in which Milwaukee failed to score 80 points - was somewhat puzzling. The Bucks were coming off a satisfying home victory over the Cleveland two nights earlier. And motivation certainly shouldn't have been lacking since Miami had defeated the Bucks only a few days earlier at the Bradley Center.
Maybe it was too much South Beach the night before. Maybe they just don't care anymore. But as they have shown so many times this season, when they abandon any or all team concepts and shift into their too-familiar solo routine on offense, they make it hard for themselves to win.

I think they need a goal of playing people like Sessions more than six minutes a game.
