So what's the over/under on Doc Rivers being shown the door? Thanksgiving?
Their individual +/- floor ratings from last night are astounding.
I remember being so f'ing thrilled when they acquired Lilliard. Yeah, I was sad to see Holiday go but it was necessary.
Now? Holy smokes.
I don't know what happened to Lilliard but he is no longer that guy. He was never consistently good on defense but his offense more than made up for it. That is no longer the case. Now he's a liability at both ends of the court but nobody wants to admit it.
Last year he got a pass from me, coming to a new team and all. He's not getting a pass this year. He needs to play better. That, or he needs to sit.
And I didn't even touch on the stellar play of the "big" free agents the Bucks brought in THIS year. Nor the coaching decisions being made over the past two years. At some point, eyes will need to turn toward Jon Horst. He is not doing a good job of late.
Bucks caught a break last night against Houston in their 1 pt victory.
Rockets schemed up a great inbounds pass play with 3 seconds left that freed up their center under the hoop for an uncontested layup. Inbounds pass was off just enough, though, and the ball was mishandled. Lucky.
Their defense seems to be improving, which is good. Hopefully they can get some momentum going and get back to playing upper tier competitive basketball.
