  1. The Bucks are a box of chocolates and the feeling is a meltdown takes place. A lot of fun is in store and the echoes in the BMO will be haunting....ooooooowhhhhhhh, ooooohhhhh
  2. Every year the bucks are always battling for that 8th playoff spot. Maybe one day we will go for the 7th seed...

  3. By picking Washington for the 8th spot, Sporting News is basically saying that any1 could slide in there; Atlanta, Toronto and even our Bucks. Let's play the game, shall we?

  4. The NBA, as a professional sport, has lost it's way. Going into the season, it's very evident that only 4-5 teams have a legitimate shot at winning the championship. Why I ask you, should I continue to spend my hard earned money to support a franchise that has absolutely no chance of competing for, let alone winning, a championship.

    With the other major professional sports, hope springs eternal at the beginning of each season....and EVERY team has a legit chance of winning it all. Stern and his cronies broke the mold that was the NBA and turned it into something I, and I'm sure countless others, have said goodbye to. For those of you that still support the Bucks, good luck. I hope the team stays competitive until at least January...but I doubt it.

  5. The Bucks have no chance, it's perfectly silly. The team will implode, it literally hangs over the abyss. Just a disaster waiting to happen. But, tix are a buck a piece.

  6. When are the Bucks going to end this quest for mediocrity? Even the 8th playoff spot is meaningless in a sport where over half the teams make the playoffs.

    They need to tank it for a few years, build through the draft, and then be actually competitive for a few years. That's small market ball. But no. Instead they are more worried with not being garbage to con people into buying them a new facility. But no one cares about a team that at best can hope to be average.

    Ironically if they had done this a few years ago they might now be good as they start again looking for backing on a new facility. Forget that, and forget the Bucks.
  7. The Sporting News doesn't like the Bucks? That's it...I'm ending my subscription! Peter Gammons has probably left the paper, anyway. (Ok, I ended it around 1986...but you get the point).

    Any other irrelevant Bucks haters out there? The Bucks will be in contention (for what, I cannot say)...I can feel it.
  8. The Bucks could be better than many people think, but one could say that every year. 2 palyers to watch are Marquise Daniels and Tobias Harris. I bet they make the playoffs but won't go past the 1st round, unless they get the 6th seed, then maybe get into the 2nd. Cross your fingers. No playoffs may mean Skiles is gone.
  9. We went through this with the Brewers. Had we gotten rid of the franchise in 1997, we wouldn't have enjoyed the diversion of the last several years. I agree that Saturday night basketball is a good cure for the winter blues. In 4-years we'll have a new owner. God willing, we have a new, national-class stadium in a few years after that.
  10. I have to agree. I realized it when the Lakers went out and acquired Dwight Howard and the Bucks countered with the final piece of their puzzle --- Joel Prysbilla. The hand writings pretty evident when players will play for millions less not to play in Milwaukee.
