No longer fighting for the eighth seed, Bucks now fighting themselves
Category: Sad and Unpopular
After another bad loss, this time at the hands of the Phoenix Suns to close out a three game road trip that started off so positively with a win over the Los Angeles Lakers, things got worse for the Milwaukee Bucks. First, there was a tweet that Larry Drew was giving his team a well deserved chewing out after they turned the ball over 25 times in a 16 point loss.
I'm outside Bucks locker room and Larry Drew sounded like he was laying into them. Couldn't make out what was said but it was loud & angry
— Amin Elhassan (@AminESPN) January 5, 2014
From there, apparently Larry Sanders and Gary Neal got into a confrontation. I'm sure this happens all the time in locker rooms, especially in losing locker rooms, but rarely does it continue on while reporters are filing in.
Gary Neal and Larry Sanders in big argument in Bucks locker room after game. Was going on as reporters entered.
— cfgardner (@cf_gardner) January 5, 2014
It seems worth mentioning that, unless he went and visited a friend in an opposing team's locker room, Sanders has probably never been in a healthy, positive, functioning NBA locker room. He's the opposite of Neal, who was born into the NBA under the San Antonio Spurs paradise. In Sanders' first season, the Bucks spiraled out of contention as Andrew Bogut struggled with injuries, Brandon Jennings struggled with a jump shot and acquisitions Drew Gooden, Corey Maggette and John Salmons struggled to be NBA players.
We never heard the stories of positive chemistry or how that group came together as we did with the Kurt Thomas, Jerry Stackhouse mentored Fear the Deer group. Some of those narratives come in after the fact to piece together why a team that wasn't supposed to be good was good, but the Bucks did move on pretty quickly from the likes of Maggette, Salmons and Chris Douglas-Roberts.
That is where Sanders got his NBA start.
After that, there was another missed playoff appearance and the trade of Bogut, who was scuffling with coach Scott Skiles. Surely this locker room was no party either. Losing teams rarely get praised for having much cohesion.
Sanders notably clashed with Monta Ellis last season in the playoffs and Bucks locker room was apparently so toxic, the team overhauled the entire roster and scoured the Earth searching for positive veteran presences, possibly to help show guys like Sanders what it's like to be one of those good guy veterans. But now Sanders has allowed his temper to boil over enough that the public has gotten word once again, this time with one of those veterans brought in to help improve team chemistry.
Is Larry Sanders A Problem?
Amin Elhassan tweeted again later on Saturday night about the dust up.
Imma say this about the Bucks and leave t at that: the dude who yall like to write his name in caps is the one yall should be mad at
— Amin Elhassan (@AminESPN) January 5, 2014
My initial reaction was that this is the sort of thing that happens constantly and doesn't really matter. But that may have been letting Sanders off the hook too easily.
Given the frequency of Sanders issues of late, it's fair to wonder how serious his issues with controlling his temper are. Between the many, many technical fouls and these spats with teammates that keep going public, he's letting his emotions get the best of him more often than most players that have passed through Milwaukee. When channeled properly, guys with crazy tempers are fine. Left unchecked and uncontrolled? It seems like it could turn into an even bigger problem.
In a revealing profile written last season by Lee Jenkins, Sanders lengthy past with anger is documented. Every now and then, it sounds like Sanders is taking steps towards conquering some of his demons, but then something happens like the fight with Ellis or the nightclub incident or this latest dustup with Neal.
He's young and it's again worth mentioning that he hasn't played with many vets who could have helped guide him along … but that kind of seemed like what this season was supposed to be about. And he's still having problems. Not a great sign. He isn't one of Milwaukee's biggest problems right now, but this can't keep happening forever.
Would Winning Make This All Go Away?
For the Bucks, Almost certainly. You know why that Fear the Deer team had such great chemistry? They won a bunch. Winning feeds positivity. You rarely hear about successful teams battling internal strife, just the teams that are so severely underperforming based on expectations.
Sanders has a separate set of issues. We don't know what kind of work he's doing to address them, but it's safe to say he would be less of a locker room problem if there was less to be upset about. So while he needs to work on pulling it together quicker when he starts to lose it, that isn't the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team's real problem.
The real problem, is the losses that keep piling up, due to bad fits, bad injury luck and bad basketball. Lazy passes leading to breakaway dunks and layups are a problem that can be solved much quicker than whatever is causing Sanders to explode. He didn't play well on Saturday night, but he's hardly the first guy to look at when attempting to figure out who is contributing to losses the most for Milwaukee. Even his sparring partner Neal hasn't been as big of a minus as guys like OJ Mayo and Ersan Ilyasova.
So while this was supposed to be a season about fighting for a playoff appearance, it seems like it's now going to be a season about how to avoid fighting each other as the franchise switches gears from "eighth seed or bust" to "a top five pick is a must." It's now a season about development, for Giannis Antetokounmpo, for Brandon Knight and, possibly most importantly, for Sanders, on and off the court.

Good article… interesting thoughts.
I don't know if Larry Sanders is necessarily a problem, but I know the continued infighting is definitely a problem. All we (the fans) get to see is what we see on TV and what we read in the paper, and to me, it seems like Larry is an emotional, throwback type of player… The bar fight aside, he seems to be a guy who feels extreme loyalty to this organization, and takes an immense amount of personal pride in the performance of the team…every loss seems to affect him like it's a personal loss. That isn't a bad thing, and honestly I wish the Bucks had 10 guys who felt that way. But where it gets troublesome is that Larry expects the same level of commitment, loyalty and pride from his team mates, and that's just an unrealistic expectation on a journeyman dominated team in a free agency driven NBA. I think he needs to understand that for guys like Neal, Mayo, etc, this is just a stop on the journey, and they consider their employer to be the NBA, not the Milwaukee Bucks… and that this mentality isn't "wrong", and it doesn't mean they won't give their best while here…it's just NBA reality. He may not fully understand this reality until someday HE gets traded, something I think he's going to have a very hard time with emotionally, when the time comes.
Are u serious, we're gonna use this instance and try to make larry look bad. did you watch that game. if there wasn't an argument or fight after that game i'd be upset. If someone instigated it and it was larry, than good. Somebody should step up and speak the truth. Gary has been terrible and the worst of the "high character vets". Bogut use to lay into people if they werent performing on defense. I could only imagine what bogut would sat to him after that game. Good riddance Jeremy, everybody should just shut up about larry and just let him fucking play. I hope you dont start being as negative as Gery Woefel. At least hes showing some emotion about the team. And BTW, if were not playing neal, or ridnour to shop them asap, then i quit. Please drew, give back wolters his backup job.
Remember the bar brawl? This goes way beyond issues with teammates after a bad loss. This guy needs anger management
Fran McCaffery probably too. And about a dozen other college coaches… anyone who doesn't pop those happy pills to keep a smile on their face at all times should seek help until we're all as level-headed as our friend Danny here.
Personally,…I'm feeling some deep concern for both BUCKS as a team,and Larry as a competitive player.
The lackluster EFFORT given against SUNS was worthy of an issue within the locker room!! As a fan I have mixed emotions about Larry,LOVE THE PASSION he brings to the game-not keen on lost temper though. I'm not sure if a trade of Larry is a smart move,but allowing the team to tear each other apart is poisonous to the young players we are trying to develop!!!!
One thing seems crystal clear,this team will NOT execute the game plan Coach Drew designs. They just won't play hard for him. Time for VanExel to be promoted??
yawn yawn did we draft Parker yet??
It's quite possible that Larry Sanders might need some good counseling (maybe just mentoring him with a quality former player like Sidney Moncrief); but most of all, I feel sorry for Larry, as well as the other young guys on the Bucks. It seems like such a dysfunctional team, beginning in the front office, and thus a discouraging and exasperating place to be day in and day out.
I feel sad for Khris Middleton getting pushed into the backround after such a promising start, reminding me of another guy we had last year who never got half a chance. I'm concerned that Brandon Knight is being squeezed into a roll that doesn't fit his game or at least being thrown into that role too far and too fast. I feel frustrated on behalf of all our young guys trying to develop their games, and trying to grow as a team, without even the semblance of a point guard to direct and distribute.
Bottom line: Even if we get a top-five pick for the next three drafts, it's probable that this team will always struggle.
Here's the plan: Focus on Larry, John, Giannis, Khris, Brandon, Miroslav. Get another point guard or two! Trade or release or bench most or all of our veterans, only using character guys who care about more than just themselves. (I don't see why we need to play the veterans to shop them — the other teams know enough about who they are and what they can do.)
P.S. As the cuckoo guy who is sometimes slighted or more often just ignored, I'll point out a few credentials: (1)Kendall Marshall, who wasn't worth even discusssing, is averaging 16 assists for his last two games with the Lakers; (2)Ish Smith — and no, he never did get a fair chance with the Bucks — had as many assists for the Suns as Brandon did for us, in many less minutes; Ish has to work on his shot, but not more than Nate; (3)Scott Suggs is looking great in the D-League; (4)Tobias Harris, my guys from last year, continues to impress with three double-doubles of late.
Time will tell with all of these guys, but it's amazing to me how well they are doing right now. I'm willing to allow for a lot of luck with my success stories, scary even to myself, but what bothers me has been the incredible reluctance to even discuss these ideas.
Have you looked at Harris' stats this year? He has been horrible.
I've been following Tobias this year fairly closely, and I think he's been doing rather well, especially coming off an ankle injury. I'd take him back with the Bucks in a heartbeat, but he might be glad to be rid of such a dysfunctional and dismal organization.
In other news, I noticed that Scott Suggs was awful statistically last night, although even Kyrie Irving had a scoreless game this season with similar shooting numbers.
Scott did make the list of most intriguing players on the website for the D-League. While his stock is down for at least a game, I'd sign him in a heartbeat, too.
Here's the thing about guys like Tobias, and Scott, and Khris Middleton, as I see it: They are willing shooters, but not the kind of guys who are going to force up shot after shot. They are team guys. Now, if the Bucks want hyper-shooters who are mostly about themselves, then keep on keeping on. If we want team guys, who are talented but not strutting, then let's go with the likes of Tobias, Scott, and Khris.
What disturbs me the most is Larry Drew.
We don't see the flailing Lakers going postal on each other. We don't see the injury ravaged Bulls fighting with the volatile J.Noah on the squad. we don't hear the Brad Stevens bunch in Boston doing this stuff. Losing teams with injuries, pressure and turned over rosters. Jeff Hornacek is a rookie coach with a cobbled together roster….all he's done is win 60% of his games in a brutal West. Look at what's happening in the usually pathetic Charlotte franchise, with a Rookie coach.
I could go on and on.
Its on the Head Coach to establish a playing style, set roles, build togetherness, foster team work, manage egos and develop players into the an espoused philosophy.
I don't see any of it.
MANAGE your team, Larry. Earn YOUR paycheck.
I'm actually okay with all of this. I was slightly, albeit just slightly, worried that the return of Larry and others getting healthy would possibly mean a few more W's. That looks like it clearly won't be the case as team chemistry issues have derailed any chance of the Bucks not getting a top 5 pick in this upcoming draft. For me, Larry can either figure it out or go away via trade if anyone would take him. And someone would. There are plenty of teams willing to take on a interior defender, thinking that a change of scenery would make a world of difference. Or else the Bucks just keep him. My guess is that a developing Giannis, Knight, Henson and a top 5 pick will get the ball rolling and lead to an improved team. That will help to solve some of these problems for Larry. But you will always have to deal with some of the warts with him. Side note…Its too bad that Ersan is playing so poorly. His trade value at his price tag looks not so good at this point. I'd be happy just seeing his contract come off the books.
I have been a bucks fans since being a kid at the old arena watching the likes of marques, junior, lanier, and harvey catchings. I am passionate about this team being a successful franchise but after 25 years of watching a clueless herb kohl I think this team is beyond saving. Everything this franchise does is almost comical in its ineptitude. There really is no fan base left with the exception of us hard core fans that have had to resort to putting a billboard up on I43 because the local media, for some unknown reason, gives this dying franchise a free pass. Why is that? Is it because Kohl bought the team and supposedly "kept the team in milwaukee"? I don't want to be hopeless but after all the coaches, GMs, bad signings, bad trades and with the likes of Ron Walter and Jon Steinmiller and the rest of the cronies still calling the shots, who are the fools here? Its us, the last bastion of fans that think this will somehow change.
This is a topic that�s near to my heart� Take care! Where are your contact details though?|

Power Point presentation given by Dr. Canfield
The Sandwich superintendent of schools made his case Tuesday for a school budget that may require the town's first operating budget override since 2006.
Appearing before the Sandwich Finance Committee, which will advise voters at the May Annual Town Meeting on spending decisions, superintendent C. Richard Canfield argued for a one-year "bump-up" in the budget to help Sandwich schools launch an academy for its 7th and 8th graders.
The school committee effectively is seeking $440,750 in additional funding for the coming fiscal year for the new STEM Academy (an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, academic areas that will be emphasized at the academy.)
The increase is part of an operating school budget approved by the school committee. Under that budget, the town's spending on its schools would rise 4.36 percent to $24.8 million.
In contrast, non-school spending in the overall town budget is proposed to increase 2.5 percent.
Dr. Canfield and the school committee see the STEM curriculum as a way to improve the education of Sandwich public school students, and to help persuade those students to remain in the system rather than leave for charter or other public schools.

Green Bay Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy announced Thursday that second year running back Johnathan Franklin won't return to the team and his career is in jeopardy after suffering a neck injury durinig his rookie season. The 4th round pick from UCLA was injured returning a kickoff against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11. He was unable to participate in any of the team's off-season workouts and the latest diagnosis by the medical staff led the team to inform Franklin of the risk of permanent damage if he continued playing. He rushed for 107 yards as a rookie, including a 101 yard effort against the Cincinnati Bengals. Via Twitter, Franklin thanked the team and fans for support.

We take a very scientific and considered approach to developing a solution that ticks every box; every element that has been added to our websites is well thought through and anything superfluous is left off.
DotPerformance took the time and effort to understand our brief, they did considerable research before they met us and were very tuned in to what we wanted to achieve – right from the start they went the extra mile
New clients come to us with varying levels of understanding about what they are expecting from a website development project. We find that taking a holistic approach, breaking things down to their lowest common denominator, enables us to fully understand what the best approach is going to be.
We begin by listening to your requirements and understanding your business. This puts us in the best position to deliver a solution that will be on the money and even surpass your expectations.
We then follow on with a research stage and use various techniques to paint a full picture of where you are and where we need to take you. We carry out competitor benchmarking, brand positioning, create user personas and identify usage scenarios to ensure we fully understand who your customers are and what they need to achieve.
Dot Performance were recommended to us very positively by several of their clients. They responded superbly to our detailed brief, impressing us with the presentation not just in terms of the layout and feel of the new website but also in terms of the logic and flows of the databases we needed as well.

We accept these days that your customers won't always use a computer to access your website. In fact, if your website is not mobile-optimised, you are neglecting around 15% of your visitors. Imagine closing your business one day a week - not catering for mobile users is akin to this.
There is a growing multitude of devices that people use to interact with your brand. This is why we have adopted a responsive design technique that ensures your website adapts to whatever screen size it is displayed on.
To streamline our website development process, we have developed our own bespoke Content Management System (CMS), which is flexible enough to build any kind of website and puts the control over the website content in your hands.
We factor search engine optimisation (SEO) into every website as standard, to ensure your content is fully indexed by search engines. This is such a key part to any website project and we regularly see 70-80% of all traffic to a website coming from search engines.
Once a website is launched, it's vital that you have access to statistical data so you know how your website is performing. We integrate Google Analytics into every website and go beyond the basics to ensure you have the full picture of how your website is performing. When it comes to generating leads, you need to ensure every touchpoint is tracked so you can effectively calculate your return on investment.
At DotPerformance this all comes as standard.
Our clients frequently become long-term customers, as post project, we service our clients' needs to become a trust-worthy service provider.
Your website project will be managed by experienced Project Managers, employing a blended approach between proven project management methodologies such as PRINCE2 and AGILE.
Your solution will be developed by User Experience (UX) Specialists and Strategists who each have a minimum of 10 years industry experience.
Our development team are specialists in programming and regularly produce efficient and robust web and software applications that are used by 100,000's of people each day. Combined, our development team has over 100 years of experience.
When we launch a new website, it may be the end of the project, but it's not the end of the road. For many types of websites, this is when the work starts and we are there to support you all the way.
We believe in a process of continuous improvement so that you make small and regular changes to your website to improve performance and better serve your customers as opposed to launching a website and leaving it for 2-3 years before realising the website is no longer competitive and needs to be over-hauled.
Using our Continuous Improvement Engagement, we analyse and monitor your website on an on-going basis and propose a quarterly release cycle to introduce improvements. This may be to either functionality or aesthetics, but it ensures your website is moving with the times and does not stand still.
The launch went smoothly and we are delighted with the results. We have continued to be impressed with DotPerformance's excellent after sales service.
We understand that the launch of your new website is the end of the project for us but the start of the journey for you. We offer responsive support and due to our international team, we're online 20 hours a day to support you.
To keep a website running optimally, we highly recommend taking up our Webmaster Service. Similar to owning a car, if you don't service it regularly it is not going to run as best as it can and will eventually lose performance.
Our webmaster service ensures your website is running optimally and any issues that may arise are captured before they become a threat to your business. In addition, it is essential to increasing your site's performance and is essential in any SEO strategy.
