In-Game Chart: Bucks MUST pass the ball

Shot Chart: Bucks simply can't make unassisted shots

The Bucks had, I believe, a 14 point lead at halftime against the Bulls.  Its the fourth quarter and they've fully pissed it away, as I suspected they might.
...
To get any offense at all, the Bucks have to pass the ball.  I charted the third quarter of tonight's game, and found that the Bucks were 6 for 8 on field goals preceded by a pass, and 2 for 10 on field goals the shooter created for himself off the dribble.  And of those 2 "self-created" makes, one was an uncontested breakaway layup by Carlos Delfino off of his own steal.  And of the 2 "assisted" misses, one was a blocked Delfino layup.  So the statistics could easily have been 1 for 10 and 7 for 8.
...
The point is, if the Bucks don't pass the ball they can't score.  If they do, they can.

Why does Skiles give it to the shittest possible guys in the clutch? Seriously, I wanna know.

Jennings and Bogut were a 2 man team out there.

Yeah, I know what you’re saying. Did you notice the lead evaporated when Jennings went to the bench and Ridnour ran the point? Ridnour played with his head up his ass a little bit. But so did a lot of the Bucks. I’m kicking around the idea in my head that Skiles should play Warrick at the 3 and Thomas, Ilyasova, and Gadzuric at the 4 and backup 5. Moute’s not contributing anything. Deng treated him like a juvenile tonight.
