Redd looks back at the season
Quote:
Chicago - Michael Redd admits he never saw it coming.
All the changes in the off-season surely meant the Milwaukee Bucks would have no trouble eclipsing their dismal 28-54 record of last season, right?
Wrong.
As the Bucks enter April and the final 10 games of a miserable season, they sit with a 24-48 record and only six victories on the road. General manager Larry Harris has already been fired and coach Larry Krystkowiak is in a tenuous position, as are many of the players on the roster.
"Last year wasn't as bad as this year, though," Redd said. "Last year we had severe injury problems, and we would have been much better. This year, you can't really put it on injuries.
Two underachieving teams met Saturday night on the United Center court, and the Chicago Bulls held off a late charge by the Bucks to take a 114-111 victory. Redd finished with a game-high 33 points, the 10th time he has scored 30 or more points this season, in 46 minutes.
Redd, who is nearly halfway through the six-year, $91 million contract he signed in the summer of 2005, said it was hard to find anything truly positive in this season.
"Nothing, nothing," the Bucks shooting guard said. "The fact is that one day, when we're winning and contending for a championship, we'll appreciate these days. Other than that, character has been built, perseverance has been built up. I've grown in those areas, having patience with everything.
"I've said it often, I'm committed to this organization, to this city, to this team. I signed a six-year deal. I'm looking forward to things changing around next year."
Redd said he would be glad to sit down with the new general manager, when one is hired, to express some opinions on the future of the franchise.
