Glenn Robinson wasn't going to keep quiet any longer.

One day after being soundly criticized by his coach, George Karl, the Milwaukee Bucks' All-Star forward lashed back.

"I'm sick and tired of what he (Karl) has to say about me,'' Robinson said before Thursday night's game against the Toronto Raptors at the Bradley Center. "He's said things about me in the past, and I never said anything. Like I said, I'm tired of it.''

Since becoming the Bucks coach four years ago, Karl has occasionally chastised Robinson, mainly for his defense. Wednesday, after Robinson sat out a practice, Karl ripped Robinson again for his allegedly poor practice habits and for his inattentivness on a play during the Bucks' game against the New York Knicks Tuesday night. The Bucks lost that game 85-71, marking the Bucks' fifth straight setback.

Not practicing today was a very selfish act. His rest is more important than another guy's rest? On a five-game losing streak? On a five-game winning streak, your leadership could say, "OK, maybe a day off.' But taking the day off when you're losing five games ... it makes me a little ill.''
