Toughts on game vs Bucks

No topic yet on the game versus Milwaukee so I guess I'll start a Fanpost again.

In the first half it seemed like Brewer realized that every time he misses a layup, somewhere in the world a little basketball fairy dies. He got back to either passing or finishing (including a nice ally-oop dunk). In the second he didn't get any opportunities. It seems the offense completely stagnated when Love was out of the game (he only played 20 mins, don't know why).

The Rhino was also not on the scene. I forgot to ask about the Portland game if anyone else lol'd when Bayless smacked into him? He's like a concrete wall...

Also thought Jeter solidified his position as the only guard having a chance to make summer camp and maybe even get some minutes if we can only sign one other free agent PG.

The box-score doesn't really agree with me. Brewer had 4-13, I'm having a hard time believing that number is right. He did miss a lot of jumpers and had to fling one from way behind the arc because of the shot clock but 4 on 13, it didn't seem THAT bad.

Jeter also had quite a lot of turnovers I see. Though most of them were in the flow of the game in my opinion. He mostly looked good on scoring this game though, no assisting...

That's it, anyone got anything more out of this game?

here's the report from the ESPN guy covering the league (TrueHoop)

Love Gets Hurt

Early in the third quarter, Minnesota’s Kevin Love appeared to roll his ankle and was helped to the locker room. I’ll try to get an official word. Before the injury, Love had 10 points and nine rebounds.

The Bucks’ Joe Alexander is still searching for his jumper. He has missed five of his first six shots and has just four points, two boards and an assist midway through the third.

It turns out that Love has a sore right Achilles and will not return to the game.

Alexander’s cold shooting continued after halftime—he went 1-for-5 and finished with eight points.

That's what you get

When you draft a guy based off of combine reports and not actual skill. He has plenty of potential and athleticism but no way he should have been the 8th pick in the draft. He’s a project, he does have solid work ethic, but I’m not sure he’ll really be much better than a Desmond Mason-type player in the long run.

A Time For Heroes,
It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood
And it's all
It's all in my hands
And its all up the walls
Well the stale chips were up and the hopes stakes were down
Until Kp came into Town!
