Timberwolves 95, Bucks 85

Sanders' record night not enough vs. Timberwolves


Associated Press


Bucks forward Larry Sanders had a triple-double, including a franchise-record tying 10 blocks. But the Timberwolves received a gutty performance from forward Kevin Love, who played despite stomach illness, and pulled away in the fourth quarter for a victory. »Read Full Article

  1. Any chance js will start referring to Sanders as a center now?
  2. Looks like another year of being just bad enough to pick 8 to 12 in the draft... Please get rid of Skiles!! Lets try Jeff Vangundy.. Maybe he can put the pieces together...

  3. The Iverson twins aren't working, and Skiles just lets them continue to kill us. Brandon & Monta went 14-41, as usual, and got smoked over and over and over on d, as usual. The Ivo twins are killing us, and Skiles just lets it happen. How can anyone else get going offensively? Playing with not 1, but 2 guys who are jacking up terrible shots and then getting burned on defense will not make your teammate pumped to play, and play hard. Funny how Ersan and others played so well in that game in Chicago when they actually started moving the ball in something that looked like an offense as opposed to the scramble garbage offense when Brandon and/or Monta are on the court. Skiles, and forsure Monta gota go, and I'd be just fine with Brandon gone as well, seeing as he's leaving in the off season anyway.

  4. I do not know what to think now. We had finally got to the point that I was saying looks to be different this year. What all the sudden happened. This is very dissappointing.
    Cannot beat teams you are suppose to beat. Why? Where is the defense? Why can't ewe hit shots with the good shooters we suppose to have. Look like all of our sports teams do not have the heart or stamina to keep up with the other teams. You my asd well just say send your money in for tickets but nothing will change. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired watching this mess. Please get these guys playing good ball. I beg you.
  5. Yes, Scott Skiles should have been fired a long time ago. I know, Both Van Gundy's,Sloan,Shaw,and Woodson are all better coaches! But even Phil Jackson wouldn't help the Bucks! Not when David Stern wears his soul on his face. Does anyone know David Sterns dream NBA final would be? I do, because he told the public. It's the Lakers vs. the Lakers! That's why the NBA will never be better than the NFL,MLB,NCAA, or even NHL! This is why the Bucks can't get a call to save their life! This is why every, and I mean every, great Center ends up with the Lakers! L.A. got Howard, even though Brooklyn had a much better offer with ten times the talent the Lakers offered but L.A. got him even with no room under they're cap!The NBA is a joke and it's a place where only large markets or teams with so called Super Stars win. I quit watching games this year when it became painfully obvious that the Bucks opponents were gonna shoot 20 more FT's a game than the Bucks, assuring them a losing record even with a good team! This league needs to be fixed and not the way David Stern makes sure it's fixed either! It sucks because I love basketball, when it's PURE!!! And the NBA is NOT PURE!!!! It's CORRUPT!!!!

  6. Skiles is a good coach, but I just do not understand for the life of me why he cannot set a rotation and keep it in place. Jennings, Ellis, Ilyasova, Henson, and Sanders should be the starting 5 and be playing at least 30 minutes a night. How can you expect these players to ever get in a rhythm if one game they play 10 minutes, then the next they are playing 35? Seems like BS if you ask me.

  7. Hammond needs to make a good trade (possibly 2 or 3), or he and Skiles will both be looking for work at the end of the season. This team, with its current roster, will NOT make the playoffs. First and foremost, it has no inside presence. In games where Ellis and Jennings are penetrating and being aggressive, they make up for the lack of a post presence by scoring in the lane on drives, or Sanders, etc. score on follow up rebounds or off passes. But far too often this team relies on jump shots. It's been said many times before, but there is too much duplication on this team. The starting guards are essentially the same player, and we have 73 power forwards. At some point, as a GM, you have to stop acquiring "assets" and start putting together a balanced team. That's what Hammond has to do now, or he and Skiles are gone (which may not be the worst thing).

  8. Monte Ellis just isn't the player we hoped he'd be for the Bucks. Jennings and Ellis are actually worse than Michael Redd on defense. I happen to like the power forwards - they'll get even better. Ersan is killing the Bucks - another large contract and they are awarded with effortless play.

  9. Jennings should be traded, a poor man's version of AI. shoot first mentality. Need a point guard that can defend the ball and quit allowing penetration and dish.

  10. There's individual talent, but too many of the talents overlap. The roster is very uneven. Their smalls can defend. Their bigs can't score. Their starting PG and SG are basically the same player, with the same skill set. Their PF's and C's are all basically identical. They have too many PF's and no starting SF and no back-up SG. They need more scorers and one's who score at a higher percentage. They need to create a more balanced roster and trades are necessary.
