Beasley might be the least clutch shooter I have ever seen. He could be 8/10 from 3 on the night, but if there’s 1 minute left and the team needs a 3 he will brick the next 4 he takes.

Brook is going to get played off the floor in the playoffs.

Giannis needs to have the same energy and aggression in the 4th as he does in the 1st. He can’t blame it on Bud anymore.

Dame and Khris need to hit their shots.

Anyways.. I'm still not sure we're actually better with KM playing.. he just makes us even slower.. he's not challenging shots the same way guys were challenging shots when KM was injured and Pat Bev and others were getting more minutes... KM gets assists which is nice but the ball overall doesn't move as fast with him in there.. slow ball swings

Sports hack - there were/are good march madness games on, so pretend like the Bucks don't exist.

The litmus test for me when it comes to Doc being a bad coach was when I started (In the last 48 hours) contemplating how things might be if we had just kept Griffin.

I am not even saying that I necessarily think we would be better had we just kept Griffin.

But the fact I am even contemplating the possibility is pretty damning for Doc....lol.

I don't really blame Beas for the role he's tasked to do but you get what you get when you're asking him to defend a lead guard and make good decisions/make shots in crunch time. He looks like a deer in headlights often.

But then how will people have a subject to peddle terrible takes about?

Before the all-star break Giannis was a clear #1 in 4th quarter scoring at 8.4 points per 4th q. Since the ASG he's 26th.

They've clearly been more intentional about having Dame run the offense at the end of games. If they run PnR with Giannis, teams are usually packing the paint and forcing other dudes to shoot. If not, he's just off ball and cutting/rebounding a lot of the time.

This team ain’t it.

Khris looked so spry his first couple of games back from injury. Now it looks like he’s playing with 10lb ankle weights.

I do think the killer was his full-court post entry pass to Brook which was stolen and turned into a NO three, all while Giannis was on a heater.

This really is going to end up like the Packers Rodgers era. One title and a slowly eroding team. We are now in 2016 Packers territory with a singular great player surrounded by trash leading his team to a decent season with no chance to compete in the playoffs.

Me in January: I am interested to see what Doc can do coaching a team with Giannis & Dame.

Doc coaching a team with Giannis & Dame: 14-13.

:nonono:

Starters +/- is fine; got killed with Bobby and Pat on the floor.

Way too much of Giannis trying to blend with Dame. This is team Giannis. Dame needs to adjust. Doc too. Get Giannis the damn ball.

Got killed in the 4th when Giannis didn't get any shots.

With each passing month, Bud adds another $5 million to his future contract package with another team.

The way things are trending, this is probably going to end up being the most disappointing Bucks team in franchise history when you consider the expectations back in October.

The only season that might have been arguably more disappointing was 2002.

But the 2002 squad didn't squander a prime season of a generational superstar.
