It's pretty entertaining watching Pierce hit jumpers right after a foul on the floor and seeing his reaction to not getting the And1.

Harris' Twitter We've heard T-Will say he wants ROY, and now Harris say he wants 6th Man of the Year. Of course it's a joke, but he's been trying to come back as early as possible after all his injuries, and the determination in the team despite the record is something you have to applaud.

Link This is the second time CDR was frustrated with Overton, the first being in a practice last year. It's also the second time we've seen CDR showing his winning attitude. He called out his teammates after a game a couple weeks ago in an interview.

It's a mix of injuries and lack of experience. You can see a significant difference in any team when they don't have two of their starters. We don't have four of our starters, along with a key backup PG. And when you're a young team, you can lose confidence easily and have trouble succeeding under pressure. I've come across two articles involving the possible firing of Frank. Here's one of them. NBA.com How many times have we seen a coach getting fired in the middle of the season, and the new coach sends the team uphill for the rest of the season? If wins mean something, we should probably keep Frank rather than risk having to wait for the new coach to adjust. I'm pretty sure I already read Thorn saying he's sticking with Frank for some time. And it makes sense. What good is looking at videos of previous games when a good amount of the players from those games are gone? It's a matter of luck with his decisions. He's trying a lot of things for the first time with limited guys, and he can't tell whether it's a success or not until after a couple of games. And hey, we've had some great defensive games, and Lopez has been able to put up better numbers now that he's stayed out of foul trouble. There's not much blame you can put on Frank.

Harris said he's playing this Saturday when we're home against the Knicks. We go west after that for four 9:00-10:00 games. We usually stumble on the Thanksgiving road trip regardless of how good the team is. If we don't win before the end of the road trip, we'll be 0-17.

Really quite a shame how we have yet to hold on to a lead this season. On the bright side, CDR kept getting to the stripe and had another 30-point game. The time he spent in the gym this offseason has made a huge difference. The rookie comparison was interesting tonight. T-Will had 20 points on 8-15 shooting with 10 boards. Jennings had 19 points on 6-13 shooting and 8 assists.

And the third quarter ends up a disaster once again. We're held to 12 points. We're still in comeback distance, though. Lopez has been sitting a lot today since he's been on the floor almost the whole game these past couple of weeks. The officiating is making this game harder for us.

And once again, we have a rough start to the second half. 10-0 run by Milwaukee. And what a surprise. Replace Carmelo Anthony two weeks ago with Brandon Jennings tonight, and it's the same story. We shut him down the first half, and he's on fire to start the third quarter.

Well Bucks fans are watching the wrong rookie tear it up. T-Will has a new career-high 16 points in the second quarter on 8-9 shooting. We're off to a great start. I don't think we've dominated this much since the first game of the season.

Watch our backcourt constantly put defensive pressure on Jennings and keep him cold for most of the game, forcing the rest of the Bucks to do the scoring. We have the Bucks tonight and the Knicks next before we have our annual Thanksgiving west coast road trip, where we have stumbled in the past. So hopefully we come away with a win or two before we visit the Nuggets, Blazers, Kings, and Lakers.

We made two comebacks, but the game was never really in our hands. Once again, we had a low FG% and only hit one 3. Lopez, Alston, and CDR powered us offensively, but Lopez wasn't able to stop Hibbert, which hurt us. We also turned the ball over in key possessions. On the bright side, Mike Fratello was wearing a nice headband, and our attendance was about 1000 more than last game.

If your topic post had serious points, we would be fine with you starting the discussion. Thread closed for now.

Welcome back, Zayn! Stick around, you'll like the new OTR.

I'll be looking for the attendance count tonight. I really hope it's not our usual count and the place doesn't look empty on TV after the $10 lower level seat offers. 9 players available tonight.

I read an article yesterday that said the Yankees are paying $150 million for luxury tax and the revenue-sharing plan, and the second highest payer is giving $90 million.

Read More I wonder how many new techniques Yormark will have tried by the end of the season. But hey, they almost always work.

You recruit 20 people. You get 8 points a day, get to choose your prizes before regular members, and I believe prizes ship faster as well.

Make that four heartbreakers in ten games, this probably being the biggest one. Two 3-pointers, one off the glass, and we're 0-10. We allowed way too many offensive boards, and it ended up hurting us in the end. Another great fight, though, and another great defensive performance for us. CDR couldn't have covered Richardson any better than he did in the end.

3/4 court shot by Williams to end the first. The key points in the game are probably the end of the first half or the start of the second half. It's important we don't go cold and let Miami take charge then.

We're back to eight players with Simmons in Chicago for "personal matter." CDR should look in better shape today, and Williams is getting more minutes. Hopefully, he'll have better shooting numbers today.

I have to agree. Obviously it's hard to be short on players and have limited guys to call off the bench. But along with that, it's just frustrating that you can't look at tape and reflect as much as usual because so many team members aren't playing. It's natural that a young team can only keep games close and competitive for so long, and it's a tough time mentally as well having to stop better teams from blowing a game open. That's something the coach can't always change. Frank's emphasized our work on defense, and we've certainly had ugly performances defensively. We've also shown great effort in games like tonight. This team was picked by many to finish at the bottom of the conference healthy, and yet they still have fight in them short-handed. Many will say not to blame Frank because of injuries, but you also gave to give credit to Frank considering the problems.

You can't just look at what's on paper. The Nets had no chance in the paint, and eventually, pretty much the whole team had to rely on high-percentage shots. Alston helped in ball movement, and naturally when he's one of better shooters for the Nets in the game, he's going to take more shots and hope that they go down. I wouldn't say a triple-double with your best player out is horrible.

Well I don't blame him for staying on the outside on offense if he's been having trouble getting around centers like Howard and Nene in the paint. He could have taken less jumpers, but he wasn't the only one having shooting troubles. You can't really go far with making an appearance against someone that can easily muscle you out. Simply a rough day for him.
