I'm so happy we didn't hire Nurse, that dude is such a narcissistic dweeb...sorry if I'm being mean but some people are just too easy to read.

Good end to the 2nd quarter. Bobby was a complete basketball terrorist that quarter, which is every quarter he isn't making shots.

After all that ineptitude, still surge to up 9 at the half. Guess all you have to do when you play a crap team is be switched on for about half the game. That's too much to ask often times.

Most frustrating part about Bobby is that he is a gross defensive rebounder, IK the Bucks are very good at defensive rebounding but it's in spite of Bobby.

Novak just sucks, he has nothing insightful or interesting to say ever, has a boring NPR like cadence, and is even more annoying when he talks about his glory days on the Knicks like lol. Him doing color is definitely a favor, not a spot for him on the bench. He should go work in the maintenance department or something

I think the problem was just that the Khris, Dame, Bobby, Lopez, Trent/TP lineup just looked listless. For some reason we were allowing Bobby to be the primary usage, and on defense it looked like we were purposely not guarding someone with regularity (Bobby looked to be the one out of position). It is a lineup you can't hide Bobby in. Dame and Khris have to be almost all of the usage in this lineup, with everyone else just being relief valves if they overcommit. Icky lineup. Took too long for Doc to fix it.

A good majority of the time it's 1-2 for Giannis these days, & that's a failed possession, so got to clean that up.

Giannis will get most of the praise for his play in the 1st half but AJax's defense on Maxey was huge. When Ajax left Maxey went off and when Ajax came back he mostly denied Maxey the ball.

They also simply missed a bunch of open shots

They also missed about 4-8 very easy looks with this lineup, I think it had a lot to do with variance. Bad defensively though no matter what

Just set up mall kiosks for tickets and let him run one of them.

I think, in the long run, that the defensive problem is larger than the offensive problem. We missed a lot of runners and 3s in that window, but we were also getting worked by a team missing 3 of their starters, and their only star was on the bench.

They started by getting boned by Bona. That unit was even w/ the Sixers' crap starting lineup. They surged when Khris came in for the 2-man game w/ Giannis & being a maestro. Then finished strong.

As for that lineup, yea, I mentioned that Doc is a dodo who plays 2 true bigs even against none. They were chasing to the perimeter and couldn't get there. On O, I agree. But Doc thinks he has to play Bobby until Giannis is ready to come back. Fossil.

Would so much rather have Sir Sid back than Novak - even though he was terrible, he at least had some personality. Shame that it seems like that relationship is fractured.

As usual, we come out after half time really lethargic.

Gordon just grabbed Brook's hands. He didn't actually have the ball.

Dame took some ludes in the locker room.

That wasnt close to a jump ball

tydett · Post #120 » by **tydett** » Mon Jan 20, 2025 1:27 am

Absurd that we have 3 guys touch the ball and not one of them can stop Oubre on that breakaway even after winning the tip
