    Kawhi Leonard has left the arena during Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves and won't return due to back spasms.

    That's fine, they'll still lose to Denver. I don't see anyone beating Jokic and co.

    I wonder how much of it is the off court stuff going on. Between the divorce, being homesick and not digging the city of Milwaukee it doesn't seem he's in the best head space.

    I wonder if the Bucks are wishing they had a do over. If they knew they would be gifting Holiday to their biggest rival and that Dame wouldn't be Dame'ing the same. They're sitting in second and that's accounting for the coaching change and the rough start Doc had out the gate BUT they're nearly 10 games out of first.

    The trade was supposed to separate them from the pack but it didn't. Cleveland is only half a game back. What it did do was separate Boston from the pack.

    i wonder if they knew holiday could end up in boston. if so, i honestly wouldn't have made the move.

    that said, if they didn't step in, lillard was going to miami for nothing, which would have pushed them below miami for sure.

    tough spot to be in.

    The Bucks also clearly shouldn't have brought in Doc Rivers.

    Dame just doesn't look like the same player he did a few years ago. He was Steph like in his ability to get a shot off now he looks sort of slow?

    Good news for them Middleton is expected to be back at some back. They need Middleton back as they are completely different team with him at full strength but he's reaching Beal like levels of always being hurt

    lillard was always less consistent than fans/media implied, imo. laker fans in particular were probably scarred from his supernova performances, but for every one of those, there was a 2-10 night to balance it.

    it's not at all shocking that he's not the same at age 33. really, it's more shocking that steph is not only still upright but looks about as quick as he's ever been on most nights. he and lebron must go to the same juice bar.

    Yea, but I'm glad they hired Doc. Not because I like Doc. I don't. Not because I have any normal animosity toward MIL. I don't. I just wanted Doc off the broadcasts. His voice is like crawling on your knees over sandpaper. Not that I've done that. I just imagine it would be very unpleasant. Like listening to Doc "comment" on games. It might have been less annoying if he was interesting. He's not.

    Yeah, I couldn’t stand Bill Walton, but at least he went on silly asides that were kind of interesting- in a “we’re all laughing AT you” kind of way.
