The reason they were in that situation at that time was because their strength of schedule was so front-loaded. Most of their games against the weaker teams in the league were in the last two months of the season. They had already lost games to Charlotte, Sacramento, two to Phoenix, New Orleans, Detroit by the end of Feb. They weren't good, and they aren't good now. The lunacy of playing for the 8th seed cost them a top 10 pick, and possibly another lottery pick from trading Bogut. If they decide to continue with their wonderful idea of playing two no defense, shoot a ton guards on the court together and not trade one of them. I can already see the "Monta Ellis signs Max deal with Bucks" coming. Michael Redd part II.
