The Bucks are a pretty good team. Played against the Lakers today, and gave them some competition. They have a good roster, with Jennings and Boguts. Should give the rest of the Eastern conference some battles.
Wow punk, your avy has me shocked. It's barely his fault, the Knicks are just bad, point blank. At least their mentality is.
They made the mistake everyone always makes. They couldn't miss in the first half. Especially 3 pointers. (Gooden hitting 3's??? You 'effin kidding me?? :O_O
It's extremely rare a team will continue that kind of shooting the whole game. Then again, that seems to happen to the Lakers if it does happen:disappoin Suns cough Suns. Kept hoisting up 3's. Ballgame. Lakers :buttrock:

The coach gave them that mentality as far as I'm concerned. D'Antoni wants them to shoot 3s at any "possible" moment. He even got Amare Stoudemire shoting 3s now :redface2: :sweat: D'Antoni's post-game interviews say it all
Oh trust me it is his fault. Bad rotations, no sort of good clutch time plays, etc.
Last night in Denver, he let the Knicks shoot 1-9 from three point range in the first quarter. Gallo went 0-6 from 3 point range, then drives gets fouled and gets 2 points. Instead of D'antoni telling everyone to attack the basket and play better defense he allows more terrible 3 point shooting. Then our best 3 point shooter Bill Walker gets less than 10 minutes over Roger Mason who missed nearly every shot in the regular season.
2nd half, the Knicks began driving the ball into the paint and tied the game up with Nuggets. Still lost but if drove the basketball and ran the fastbreak they would have won that game.
D'antoni's reaction after the game was..."We've got to keep shooting"
The Knicks are in a 3 point shooting slump as a team and on a 6 game losing streak. But shooting bricks is the way to go. Also, allowing Amare to create his own shot instead of a Pick n Roll. He needs to be fired.
Amare has already called out the team saying we play with no urgency and he's not used to losing.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge Lakers fan, right here in Torrance. What was with that Suns-Lakers game? The Suns could not miss. The Lakers' half court offense, when done right, is unstoppable. And I gotta say that Shannon Brown's shooting is spectacular.
