15 Thoughts vs, Milwaukee 1/19

We’re refusing to talk about the loss to the Charlotte Bobcats if you hadn’t noticed and actually, the entire road trip is not worth mentioning. After having high hopes of going 4-0 and coming back barely 2-2, there really isn’t much to say. So now with a little home stretch ahead, hopefully these young pups can get back on track. The first test comes at the expense of the Milwaukee Bucks whom are likely a lot better than that 20-23 record says. Their roster is filled with more talent than either the Sixers or Bobcats and should pack in quite the punch tonight, especially after losing to the Clippers the other night (Hah!). And I’ve got to say, this was one of the hardest “15 Thoughts” ever as the Bucks are probably the most “blah” team in NBA history. Does anything interesting come out of Wisconsin?
