Ditto this. WTF is the meaning or purpose of a gray uniform?

So much better if we were at full strength

That changed so quickly. Sheesh.

I fear when Leonard sits. He looked exhausted.

We better. Bucks pull like 4 men into the paint as soon as the ball crosses the 3-point line.

Welp, can't say Coach didn't see it coming. 2-10 from 3 and down by 12 after 1Q.

With Lou gone, PG out, Serge and Bev still MIA and no Rondo yet, Plan B so far is Coffey.

Theses refs man. That should have been a flagrant.

Keep pushing

Back in it. Give Coffey Batum's looks

Mann needs to attack more. He’s got the size on most of those guys.

A few shots by Batum and Morris and we should make it competitive again.

Plus/minus says Marcus and Zu are carrying us @plus+10. Everyone else +1 or negative.

Marcus and Zu carrying us would be VERY good news...

Mann is seriously a beast. Sky's the limit with him.

KL2 · Post #31 » by **KL2** » Tue Mar 30, 2021 2:53 am

Mann decisive in what he wants to do. Leonard too but with a little less success.

Jackson hesitating or overthinking. Kennard is hesitating now too. Ugh.

Mann is causing the Bucks problems. Didn't know Giannis' brother was turning into a nice role player

Not enough guys aware of the clock.

Finally !!

Not a bad half

Mann is a future leader as well as being a damn good player already. With the way he works on his game, once he gets a reliable jumpshot, it's a wrap. And because of his defense, he might actually end up being a more complete player than the player we all hated to have to give up (SGA)

Giannis didn't dominate the paint in the first half, I thought Zu had a lot to do with that.

Horrible finish to the first quarter. Zu and Mann got us back in the game in that 2nd quarter.

Clemenza · Post #38 » by **Clemenza** » Tue Mar 30, 2021 3:11 am

Keep unleashing Mann on them. Kennard needs to stay aggressive as he is passing up open shots. Kawhi's gotta keep the ball moving, he'll get the pass right back for an easier shot. Zu held his ground on Giannis rather well in that half.

SGA definitely improved big time but he's mostly all offense as of right now. Not saying his game will stay like that but Mann's overall game is infectious and lifts the team up

Love how the Bucks set a series of screens for some of the players. Wish they’d do that for Leonard once in a while.
