Go on over to the Frozen Tundra to see my thoughts on the Packers and Bates leaving.
This post will focus on the defensively challenged, Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks have lost 6 of their last 8 games due in large part to their complete unwillingness and inability to defend anyone. Here are some fun stats to show their ineptitude over the last 8 games:
The Bucks have shot 43.9% and averaged 92.1 pts/game (8th worst in the NBA on both counts)Their opponents shot 48.1% (3rd worst) and averaged 101.5/game (5th worst)
The Bucks have been outshot, percentage-wise in 7 of the last 8 games, only the win against a severely depleted Charlotte team was the lone exception. They were outshot in the win over the T-Wolves.
The Bucks have given up over 100 points in 6 of their last 8 games.
The combined record of the teams they have played over this stretch, 123-126.
Terry Stotts, it's long past time to start emphasizing defense with this team. I certainly realize that this is a young team but this is bordering on the ridiculous. The Bucks are not built to score over 100/game and that is what they are having to do in order to win games with how they play defense.

I have no comment about sports, just didn't want to lurk your blog. I'm near a panic about my bonus situation. I hope you are feeling better, or at least got some energy from your workout.
