Wow, I’m not sure what to think, seeing how closely this game ended. As upsetting as it was being punched around all game, to have a shot to win it at the end shos major heart from these guys. Yes, but every time we cut the lead down the Bucks built it right back up. We lost by 5 but I don't think of this as a close loss. If I wanted to put on my green glasses and look at things in the most favorable way possible, I'd say we were missing JB, and JT was hobbled. You could see him limping to the bench in the closing seconds. I'm reluctantly coming around to the idea that we need to move on from Gordon. There's just no consistency from him. Not even consistent aggressiveness. Maybe Brad needs to have him run the offense when Kemba sits, instead of Smart or Wanamaker. Maybe that would make him less passive. I’ve been wondering about this too. Do we have too many B level players? Maybe we need Hayward or Tatum taking more shots, hogging the ball more, being the focal point of the offense, instead of having to pass the ball around so much? Like, we bumping up their usage be more beneficial to hem, and the team? To do this, we’d have to get rid of one of Tatum, Hayward or Jaylen. I don’t know, just being open minded here to what this team needs.

Last night's loss was frustrating. One could say it was over, another could say they clawed back and fell short. Yeah, the bench is pretty bad, sans Kanter who was a great pick-up.

It feels to me as though a lot of guys are playing not to make a mistake, so they pass up shots they should be taking. Theis is one. Gordon is passive if he misses his first couple. GWill, once he broke the ice with his first 3, is shooting 37% but passes up open 3s. Tatum is a good enough shooter so he should let it fly if he has room to get hit shot off, but often passes up that first look, tricky dribbles around the line and then winds up taking a harder shot. Just shoot it!
