Can I ask a legitimate question? Why does Larry Krystkowiak have to be the fall guy for the Bucks when the team's problems are like a recess report from my daughter's Kindgergarten class:

--They fail to share effectively

--They don't play well with others.

--Selfish

Yeah, Larry K was too inexperienced without a strong, veteran former head coach as his lead assistant that could help him. But he's too classy to throw any of his players under the bus. Unfortunately within hours of the Bucks season ending, he'll be gone.

With just a few notable exceptions (Andrew Bogut, Yi, Michael Redd, Desmond Mason and later on, Ramon Sessions among them), this team lacked heart, effort...and tuned Larry K out. Tell me, is it really too much to ask guys making tens of millions of dollars, to play all out, not sulk and pout, play some defense, and not milk injuries? And hold on to a lead, since they blew double-digit leads 13 times this season?

Larry K doesn't need anyone to come to his defense. But trust me. New GM John Hammond will swing a heavy hammer at the Bucks this summer. Let's hope he cuts off the dead weight.
