Discrim Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I know one thing...07-08 was a hellish season. I will tell anyone wihtout hesitation that that season, the Bucks finally hit rock bottom. That season drove me to sheer hatred of even the thought of watching that garbage. The Bucks have posted fewer wins, true, but that season largely consisted of the most boring, stagnant, passionless basketball I have ever seen. Ever seen that clip of Bogut high fiving air? That pretty much summed up that season. Calling them a team demeans that word's meaning, they were more accurately a bunch of guys who happened to be wearing the same uniform. (I didn't see Sessions going off at the end of that debacle of a year cus I'd stopped watching by that point. How he broke the team assists record with a mishmash of garbage timers and quitters he barely knew, I will never know.)What the Bucks are doing this year? Now THIS is basketball. Except what Chitwood Ridnour's doing lately, he's been uncharacteristically out of control (in the bad way).

The_Admiral Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Enjoy it while you can before everyone realizes they're grown men and don't need Scott Skiles yelling at them. Generally the way it goes. As for this year, Skiles and Jennings should definitely win their respective 'OTYs. Also, props to Andrew Bogut for using his ticket allotment to create some sort of college-style rooting section. What's it called? Block 6? Something like that? At any rate, it's cool, something the Bucks sorely needed if they're competing with three basketball teams successfully selling sizzle over steak. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 wouldn't be the first time it's happened to us (I'm a bit surprised George Karl hasn't gone on his franchise-destroying ego trip with Denver yet, frankly.)

The_Admiral Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I don't know, maybe he mellowed out, unthinkable as it may be that an NBA coach could ever mellow out.

LightningRide75 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 And the Warriors are Officially For SaleFor Warrior fans hopefully it's Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle. Hell the name of his company is on the arena. If this guy is so competitive for a stinking boat race imagine what he could do for an NBA team.

NJTank Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 File this under pricelessCEO, fan of 7-win Nets square offEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New Jersey Nets' sad-sack season appeared to hit another low Monday night when CEO Brett Yormark reportedly shouted at a fan wearing a paper bag over his head.Yormark left his courtside seat at the IZOD Center late in the second half of New Jersey's 99-89 loss to the Miami Heat. Yormark then doubled back toward the fan, identified by the New York Daily News as Chris Lisi of Middletown, N.J.It was at that point that Yormark, Lisi and a friend of Lisi's got into a shouting match, with reporters and photographers nearby.Lisi told the Daily News that the CEO initiated the exchange by asking him why he had a bag on his head. Lisi's response -- "because the Nets are so good," according to the paper. Yormark then snapped at him and walked off, Lisi told the Daily News.A spokesperson for Yormark said Yormark had no comment.The Nets are 7-63 and extended a franchise record with their 14th straight loss at home Monday. It also was New Jersey's eighth straight defeat on their way toward possibly finishing with the worst record in NBA history.New Jersey has to win two of its final 12 games to avoid breaking the Philadelphia 76ers' mark for futility (9-73), set in the 1972-73 season. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
