Bogut Double-Double in Bucks Loss To Heat www.jsonline.com 25 Mar 2008 MIAMI, Florida - It has been said many times this season that the one of the Milwaukee Bucks' greatest weaknesses has been their horribly inconsistent nature. But when it comes to what passes for the Miami Heat these days, the Bucks have been a picture of consistency. Not only did the Bucks lose to the Heat - the team with the worst record in the National Basketball Association - last week at home but the they turned around and played one of their worst offensive games of the season in a 78-73 loss in a rematch Monday night at American Airlines Arena. Coach Larry Krystkowiak thought his team might want to get a piece of the Heat after letting the game last week slide away in the fourth quarter, but it didn't happen. "We talked about that," Krystkowiak said. "If we felt it was one that we gave away, it was an opportunity to get one back. We didn't send much of a message. "We just went through the motions and thought it was going to be easier than it was. We got beat by a group of scrappers that are trying to find their way. A lot of them are trying to make the league. They played hard and they scrapped." Centre Andrew Bogut sensed that the Bucks were in trouble at halftime even though they led by five. "Anytime at halftime when you're talking about energy and effort, you're in some trouble," he said. "Because that should just be a part of the game. It should just be a part of playing basketball. It should be played hard. So when you have to talk about it at halftime, we have some sort of problem. We have to talk about it every game." Full Story
