Milwaukee Bucks @ Miami Heat - 7:30 pm est, Wednesday December 30, 2020

I stayed as far out of last gt as possible. What a pathetic performance from previous OP.

[QUIZ]

We're the openers on NBATV tonight too. Whole country getting ready to see if we get beat down again.

Good things last night: Bradly is a very very good defender, he should start the game and guard Holiday, he can definitely limit his productivity.
Opkala's defense is very good as well, there were some drives by Giannis and he defended them very well. He should play before Harkless, actually Harkless should not see the court unless is a scrimmage game.

Bad things: Turnovers, same garbage every year after year, some due to lack of focus, some are due to lack of dribbling skills. Adebayo needs to be more aggressive going to the rim, period. I like the 15 footers he is hitting but he needs to develop more offensively.
Herro sight..... this guy needs to learn how to dribble and protect the ball, he gets stripped or plainly pukes the ball every time he tries to attack the rim, this guy needs to get stronger, he looks like a twig and gets thrown out of balance by the slightest bumps, his defense as well as Robinson's is the most critical flaw with these two players, something that baffles me is that our players do not seem to work on their main weaknesses, since they came into the league their defense has been abysmal and they still are really bad at it. Our coaching staff needs to drill these two puppies in practice and make them at least descent defenders. If they continue like this it will not be worth it to have them on the court, doesnt make any sense to score 20 points and let the other guy you are guarding score 30 on you. This is a very important subject we need to keep in mind going forward. I rather have a Battier player hitting a few 3's but playing defense, than Robinson which is a gaping black hole when it comes to guard an NBA player, crap even Mike Miller was a better defender than those two. Kind of mad about our coaching staff not trying to fix such horrendous display of defense with those two players.
Nunn is a lost cause, they should send him packing with Kelly as soon as the chance presents. This will be his normal form from now on, is not a fluke, this is the player he is. Its a shame, i like the guy but we are here to win basketball games, and he just doesnt not fit with the players we need.
Dragic did not have a good game, i think Holiday's defense had a profound effect in our point guards, the guy is a dog on defense, Spobot needs to find a way to counter that.
The bucks were scorching hot from 3 last night, a lot of them were uncontested but they also hit a lot of difficult shots, not to sound like a broken record but Holiday in my opinion was crucial on the beat down we got.
We need to snatch at least another allstar in order to make it somewhere, our young promising guys are not ready yet and i am not sure if they ever will be, if Tyler and Robinson can not play a lick of defense we are not going anywhere. If you have a chance to trade for a proven allstart you do it.

right?

[dolphinatik]

Watch spo keep the same starting lineup

yeah he is quite the stubborn coach,trying to make players play out of their positions or roles,that's really genius

KZ is like elite size for the 3. watch us try to force him into the 4. only the heat can look at DJJ and think Totally a 4.

[DayofMourning]

We got this.

I don't know if my perception of him was distorted because of the games he played against Embiid (about the only time I'd tune in) but Giannis made Precious look small in stature last night. I was shocked a bit by the size differential. Achiuwa definitely looked the part of a perimeter player physically.

Obvious but, figured I post it anyway.

precious looks very timid on defense, he should be looking to block some shots, he is athletic and can jump.

[Heat_Fan_87]

totally different team without jimmy.

can we please start a phukcing pg tonight.

[Wiltside]

Really thought we were saving Jimmy for game 2 of this rematch.

Just hope it ain’t more Woy. That was pathetic basketball yesterday, totally unacceptable performance.

Moe Harkless AGAIN Duce?

[Wiltside]

Without Jimmy, we need some toughness in the starting lineup. Too soft.

Bradley
Herro
Robinson
Achiuwa
Adebayo

That’s what I’d like to see anyway. Honestly, Precious has probably been our best big not named Bam so far this szn.

Moe Harkless AGAIN Duce?

i am telling you man, our coach must be a moron, or he just looks to lose games. There is no logical way to play Harkless.

[MettaWorldPanda]

I hope Ducler is wrong

[balla345]

Spo the type of coach after a 50 point loss to say nah we don’t need to change the starters we just have to play harder.
