But we had 4 top 50 dudes in Big Dog, Reef, JT and liff Coming into that season, this is true but Big Dog wasn't a top 50, more like top 100 that season. SAR wasn't as good and Ratliff was top 50. We gotta remember, top 50 back then is like top 150 today. It wasn't that high since teams had three scrubs starting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in an apartment with my x gf and we got satellite tv so I got all the stations. Remember I thought we were gonna be really good with Big Dog, Reef and JT. The big 3, I thought they resembled the three in Milwaukee with Vin Baker, Dog and Ray Allen. NOPE! Individual talent was there but we couldn’t play defense and our offense was inconsistent and heart was lacking… reminded me of this year. Sadly, that very season, Lon was fired after going 11-16 before Stotts took over and went 24-31… lost season. Nate needs the now. We are through 39 games. 2 more games and it’s half the season.

And I was so happy and scared at the same time, when we got Big Dog. That team was 14 - 25 after 39 games. That team bottomed out at 21 - 37, before playing "inspired" ball to close the season. It was pre analytics. Man I had thought Glenn was a star type player and boy oh boy oh boy how wroooooong I was about that. Taught me scoring 20 points doesn't necessarily mean shit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Robinson was an inefficient black hole of a player and a turnover machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was definitely better than he was in Atlanta but looking at the numbers overall in his time in Milwaukee he was definitely one of the overrated players of that era. We definitely took him right as his game was declining though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only worse eras was the early MJ expansion era and the NBA/ABA era were talent was split between leagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted January 13, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 The year we won 57 games, traded Nique, and lost in the 2nd round was super disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
