Giannis literally sat for 5 seconds last game before he was back on the court for another 10+ minute stretch.

I'm fine with Giannis playing big minutes but Kidd needs to do a far better job in managing when he rests. Particularly in the fourth quarters.

Woelfel is still worried about Giannis not being able to score in practice. :lol:

Giannis and Jabari were pretty good. Middleton played one of those 'outside of his skill set' games where he forced too many shots and turned the ball over too many times resulting in easy Pacer buckets. Thought plumlee should've played more.

An overhaul of the guard position in the offseason will be just what the doctor ordered. Keep Vaughn, get rid of everyone else.

Giannis went 8-8 from the line tonight, that probably gave him the confidence to break out of his Ft shooting funk.

Dude needs to be able to knock down an open jumper though, it can be sad at times.

"Unimpressive" 63 from the core.

Exactly.

Mostly looked a little fatigued tonight but the core averaging 63 regardless of good game or not is the next level we need to achieve. Indiana just has so much more experience and an established star. We're not far away (in terms of time) from turning that tide.

Oh, and love that 8 man rotation. This isn't the **** Finals you c*ck sucker.

I swear I won't fully enjoy a Bucks game until this smug weasel prick is gone. Not only is he a d-bag of a person, but he's just a clueless ****.

Replacing him next year will have a bigger impact than any draft pick or FA signing will have.

On the flip side, most people were arguing that he was playing too many guys earlier in the season. He needs to find a happy medium.

Too many guys, and to too many minutes are two separate things. Playing 11 guys and playing 8 guys while playing 3 of them 40 minutes...

Anyway, I thought Giannis should've spun and taken it to the rim on the last possession. It was there. Layup, maybe an and one.
Hopefully he realizes that freedom in the future

Nobody was comparing minutes... Just how his rotations have slimmed down from when he use to play the entire team earlier in the season.

Monroe's late thinking D was on display tonight. You could make a film session on his defensive play tonight alone. He and Jabari at the same time is a disaster. Jabari can at least hold his own one-on-one and play the passing lanes, but neither has the ability to get to the right spots when their guy doesn't have the ball.

We'd have won this game by 10+ with a starting level C who could protect the rim. Hopefully that can be Poeltl

It's all good. The trio played well, monroe did great to get the bucks back in game.
2 3s. All you needed to win this game. It's ok, it wasn't bayless night.
Seeing giannis/parker with 40 pts and not feeling great, is a good sign.

Anybody catch when Giannis hit the floor hard after making an off-balance pass (late 4th IIRC)? On TV it looked like he smacked the back of his head on the floor and it appeared to stun him for a few seconds. He got up and returned to the action, but that did not look good.

He looked awful in Summer League (even though he wasn't there).

The last time we had a top 10 pick with three promising players was what? ... The Tractor for Nowitzski draft?

Literally, the first quoted post said , "Kidd is going to run these guys into the ground"

When the game is on the line and they could use 3 points, it always seems like they run that same exact play. Pass to post player, have him wait until a 3-point shooter (usually Middleton or Bayless) gets around the screen and into the corner, virtually hands off to him, and hope it goes. It's telegraphed by both how long it takes to develop and our tendency. Teams have to be wise to it by now. But both Giannis and Khris could use better discretion there and bail out of it when it doesn't look to be materializing right. We had plenty of time. Could have went to the basket.

Wait, Friday is 90's Nickelodeon Night? Yeah, I'm definitely going to that. 90's Nickelodeon was the best.

Something definitely going on between Moose and Middleton. Moose didn't slap Khris' hand after a Free Throw. Shawn Michaels-Diesel feud anyone?
