Man, I swear Booker was triple teamed at times tonight. So not only was he mauled but he could barely get an open look. We've got to get some scorers in the off-season. Bender-Jackson-Chriss can't put the ball in the hoop reliably.

partly because GS has other offensive threats, and we don't

if it's possible to get 30 points and 7 assists and have a bad game, Bledsoe just did.
he had 7 turnovers, but it looked like more as he forced plays and made bad decisions
i'm definitely glad he's gone

Why did the Bucks have 3 players inside the 3 point line at the end of the 4th when we needed a three? Props to Booker for making that shot, but they totally screwed up this play. I guess Chandler was a real threat for a 3pt layup.

Kidd was also screaming FOUL! FOUL! FOUL! the whole time.
I don't know what the hell the Bucks players were thinking at the time.

They were thinking about who has the longest wingspan

Pretty sure Bledsoe said don't foul to his teammates while he was shooting those free throws

I'm posting first before I read the Thread just to share my initial reaction fore seeing everyone else's
I had this as a "big" game and then at last minute had to leave home, I don't know the last time I chose to avoid Twitter and Espn to not see a score smh. Game finally got uploaded on the website I use so just finished watching. What an UGLY game, I don't even really hate Bledsoe but at the end of the day you HAVE to beat the guy that left you. The fact they were so depleted we should have ran them off the court. The only enjoyable thing was how clutch a shot Booker's 3pter was but then the OT was sloppy like the rest of the game and I didn't really like his last shot
Oh well, Monroe still did his thing but I would have stuck with the same starting lineup and let Len come off the bench and punish their small lineups. We are so much easier to guard with Tyson on the court smh and it is interesting that Len got a DNP-CD.

I'm convinced we would have won if we had stuck with our Monroe/Len center rotation. The Bucks wouldn't have gotten so many second chance opportunities.

yes, i heard that
Bled was worked up about the boos (which i don't think he deserved)
it must have scrambled his brain because his thinking was off the whole game
but actually, that was my criticism of him with the suns
lots of skill and he could turn up the offense and D towards the end of a game
but not a leader
and a low bball iq

I missed this game hanging out with family. Looking at the thread and box score and highlights, it's nice to see Monroe playing so well. By far our best and most consistent big man. Maybe we should actually sign the guy to stay after this year. And our main two offensive threats, Booker and Warren, both had big scoring games.
I like that Ulis got the lion's share of the PG minutes (31). He ends up with 12 points and 5 assists. Monroe, Chandler, and Warren (!) all with double-digit rebounds. Bender with 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, but 5 brutal turnovers. Monroe also had 4 TOs. That's bad for two of our main big men.

Left field I know but, during the game they were talking about Len not getting any minutes and Eddy's comment was that the only thing he could think of would be if a trade was in the works. Probably just him talking. I can’t think of any reason they would be sitting Len when he is healthy and playing his some of his best Bball ever.

Showing that Monroe is healthy & can produce. Len can't be traded without his consent because it voids his Bird rights.

Dragic and the heat came here after his trade and he had his way with us, pretty sure Thomas and at least one of the M**** bros did too (although my memory is not so clear on the latter) but we show a real lack of character in that sense, and that sucks.
