They are exposing them, but remember the last two times they've played us we've left their athleticism take us out of our game and they won easily.
To me, it is major progress to be able to impose our will on a team that is not necessarily a great matchup.
I'd love to play Orlando again soon - they give us the same sorts of problems.
Amazing that they called a foul on the Grant shot.
They never give him that call. Same with Galloway.

Whoa now you better watch out talking good about Calderon on here cause not everyone understands what he does for the team. That's your first warning...lol
fans have been pretty fair about calderon actually. His shooting has been good but his passing and defense has not been. Tonight he is playing his best overall game. Nobody has ever questioned his leadership
Not every fan has been fair and that's a fact and he's had better games this year.
I have said all year long, when dude is scoring the ball he should play, but he hasn't been consistent at all
Haven't you been watching the whole game like when they went to a video of Fisher earlier talking about how they don't ask Calderon to do more and it's not about stats when it comes to what he brings on the floor?? You can't just go on a players stats to judge them for what they bring to a team.
once again everyone understands his leadership and i Agree its important. HOWEVER im talking strictly on the court which has been up and down
Few weeks ago, grant would slowed down so he can set up the triangle and run the offense, making him hesitant and confused. Now that FISHER woke up and told him, go, go, go, he looks so much better.

It's a truism in the NBA that seems to be true - if you're playing well and more aggressively than your opponent, you tend to get the benefit of the doubt calls.

We are a much more confident team at this point.
This is what we hoped for from this team. Playing as a team! Trusting the system and each other. Hustle on D! The whole being greater than the sum of its parts!!! This was Phil's plan.

He's just trying to pick his spots

What's better is that he set up that opening to the hoop with some misdirection and a hesitation dribble. He's learning. He will be very very good someday, I think.

He is improving; specifically when he is scoring
be careful thats not positive enough for newyork
If you'd like to start it up we can?? It's been alright so far but if you'd really like to get it going again............
start what up? It was a freindly joke
Can't be a friendly joke when we aren't friendly. Don't try me.
i dont have any issue with you

Agreed. I'm not sure where it came from, but I'm not complaining.
ROLO fouled out! Monroe made him look silly in the last couple of possessions.

I'm kinda glad we get more KP. (so is MSG!)
Bucks making the obligatory NBA run. Time for the starters to come back in and close it out.
Btw...how disappointing have the Bucks been this year? So many analysts pegged them as the up and coming team in the east who were playoff bound; they have majorly underachieved.

Don't change your tune now that he's playing well, it doesn't work like that but good try.
Could be my bias but it looks like Atentakumpo (I have no idea how to spell it) travels nearly every time.

I love Calderon as a personality on this team... but if we can sign Conley this off-season, I would jump up and down. I'd like to keep Calderon on the team as a bench guy/pseudo assistant coach. But an upgrade at PG would take this team to the next level.
