Who do you think would be a better team

Bam
Jaren Jackson
Giannis
Smart
Jrue


or

Joker
KD
Giannis
Luka
Curry


Only one of those 2 teams is even somewhat realistic, and the latter is no slam dunk winner which kind of proves my point. There's only 1 ball. Did we not learn anything from the Nets?

So if you can clone Giannis and face these two teams against each other, who wins?

And Suns now. Which shows why building teams mixing matching strengths and weakness off each player is the ideal model. Unless of course you can just get overwhelming team of Lebrons who are good at everything, which of course is impossible due to CBA rules.

Suns have been very good when all three guys play this year. Their problem has been that it hasn't happened enough.

Why are people complaining about the D? Since Rivers came in that hasn’t been the issue. In fact, they have been good. Offense needs to be fixed and there are many ways to go about that.

One of those ways is to fire Doc and re-hire Griff....continue the trend

I think we need a few more assistants to figure it out personally.

Obviously Joe Prunty was the answer. Better defense and better offense.

Either he wanted to bang strippers in Miami or
Giannis vetoed signing him

usually these are the two explanations in this board

No, but we do know he is signing with Miami. I would assume if he wanted to sign with the Bucks he would have pushed for it.

All the Bucks need is a few more guys approaching 40

I’ve seen a lot of “we have the best five man lineup” by net rating. From what I see, that’s not true. What am I missing? What minute threshold are we looking at?

I'm guessing people are talking about the starting 5 with Middleton included, and probably looking at lineups with 250+ minutes or something, where ours is #1 at +15.3 net rating in 527 minutes. Higher net rating than the fully healthy starting 5s of the Celtics, Nuggets, Clippers, Suns, Wolves, etc. If you lower the minutes requirement to like 150-200 then you get a couple above ours, like that weird ass Cavs lineup when they were winning a bunch of games without Mobley/Garland.

Point is, Bucks starting 5 with Middleton has been elite all season. It's the bench (namely Pat/Bobby) that has been disastrous.

16:20 ----> Vibe I got off the bat. He's saying he really hasn't settled in yet & all of his personal stuff going on. When the season gears towards playoffs & he's more accomadated to everything his emotions will be on display compared to now.
