Well, I’m glad we didn’t just lay down. Learn from this one and get back at it.

The Bucks were way more desperate than us.

Ant reminds me of Jimmy Butler in the sense that for every big game he has on both ends of the floor you have to worry about his shooting performance the next game dragging the whole team down. Jimmy has this reputation of being a big game performer but in reality come playoff time he’s good for two games in a series where he shoots 4-16 and disappears offensively because he relies heavily on dribble drive shot making around the rim. When left to rely on contested midrange and 3 point shots that’s exactly what the defense wants.

Very discouraging loss in a game I was eagerly waiting to watch. I pin this one on Ant...his non-serious behavior on all star weekend (left handed shots, banking, etc) carried over into a meaningful game. He simply has to be more consistent if we are going to realize our potential.

Now we have to worry about whether Rudy will be available tonight after spraining an ankle last night stepping on Lopez's feet.

I missed this one. Sucks that we lost after ESPN put the spotlight on us, but a full strength Bucks team is really good.

I'd like to see what the records are for ANY Minnesota nationally televised games. The friggin' Vikings are the same way (at least it seems so to me) - always let me down when on big stage. Gawwwwh!!!! We do our best flying under the radar and that's where we are headed after that shit.

His still biggest leap will be passing to open guys for wide open 3P's. I think it's a much better shot then some of the tough mids he takes. Yes he can make them, but it's not the highest percentage play. He's not anywhere close to prime LeBron for instance. What always made him unstoppable was his passing and still is to some extent.

I like the 8-10 assist nights more then the 27 shot night guy. Just way more effective overall.
