Quotes: Bucks.com Gameday (not updated as of publishing time)
- The Bucks really lost the game in the first half, when they dug themselves into an efficiency hole 33.5 points deep, but there was no question the second half was uglier to watch. The only thing that kept the margin mildly respectable was the extended playing time given to Dallas' scrubs. Still, the Bucks had a 68.0 offensive rating in the second half, as rookies and backups stumbled around the court in what could most accurately be described as basketball stupor.
- Larry Sanders became the 6th player this season to foul out in 18 minutes or less.
- If you'll bear with the math of an on-the-record Jennings sympathizer, consider that Bucks not named Brandon Jennings or Shaun Livingston shot a combined 16-58. Ignoring all the compounding factors (admittedly contrived), the Bucks' current AST% means there were only about 10 assists to go around. In other words, last night was a point guard wasteland.

I think it is pretty clear...
This team needs a backup center. They are completely inept defensively without Bogut in the lineup. You can see the same thing happening almost every possession without him.
When Mbah a Moute comes back it will help alot, but they need someone else at 5 besides Bogut. Period.

Season might be told in the next 10 games
I look at the ten games and see one game where I think the Bucks should win this game, the rest, not so much. at 4-7 now a 2-8 or 3-7 could dig a hole that’s hard to get out of. Why do we only play the Raptors once, is that odd?
"He always plays like he's a pit bull that hasn't been fed in about a year and that you've got pork chops in your pockets and that's the basketball." Of course, he's Canadian
Mavericks beat the Kings 99-60 tonight… which could be interpreted as a good thing (Mavericks are defending NBA champions and coincidentally very good) or a bad thing (Bucks gave away 21-point halftime lead in Sactown).
