By "untouchable" do you mean no other team wants to touch him?

Who is dunking on Giannis at 46 seconds in the video?

Khris is fine, anyone worried about his injury is overreacting like always. They are just being smart with him.

You can't complain about guys being hurt in April and then get upset that they are being cautious in October.

Doc also said that Khris “snuck” into some live practice stuff today which he wasn’t doing yesterday

This is perfect 2013 Jim Paschke reporting.

(and yes, I do miss Jim terribly on the broadcasts and understand how he had to do the Baghdad Bob thing under Kohl).

We definitely clowned on Jim when we felt the Bucks were at a nadir, but the clown show they've trotted out to replace him since really gives a good historical retrospective of his contributions.

Tyler Smith caught a body. The net caught a hand.

Rondo is a basketball savant, according to many.

He's playing Connect-4, while everyone else is playing checkers.

We need leadership.. someone guys will listen too.. if we had Lebron coaching us I'd bet $1000 we win a ring this year. If it's Rondo.. bring him in.. if it's Darvin.. ok cool

Rondo can talk to the rooks about having a fall guy.

Milbucks96 · Post #1731 » by **Milbucks96** » Fri Oct 4, 2024 12:38 am

Rondo has some weird recent dv stuff and some other legal problems. He also has been a pretty bad locker room guy for most of his career. For him to be around the team with no real role just seems unnecessary. It’s not like this is a young team that needs some guidance.

Hopefully he’ll just be a guest appearing in a few practices here and there.

And not getting Sam to return.

Doc can bring KG back around too. He's familiar with Giannis from the Kidd era... Ray Ray?

Just not Pierce, let him stay on the East Coast.

Giannis isn't Andrei Kirilenko (47th) or Ben Simmons for that matter either.

The closing lineup should get as many minutes together as possible, so Mids should start.

Or just execute what your job and role is. If he came in as a hired assassin and extends the lead to 17 (like that Miami series) then the starters come in and clamp and we win by 12 instead of losing by 5.. didn't he do his job? Isnt that good enough? What if he averages 18 and 7 in that role on 60+ ts%.. not good enough.. but we win.. it's not slander.. it's strategy.

The starters don't do anything without Mids.

Regular season is whatever but Midds absolutely closes. He's been one of the best 20ppg scorers in the NBA when he's been healthy in the playoffs.

I'm talking defense... imagining mid 3rd quarter to mid 4th a mixture of KM with just Dame and KM with just GA bombing and extending us to a 15 point lead and the starters (Dame/Giannis with all defenders) holds the lead/withstands that last comeback burst that we've always had trouble with while still scoring well. That starting group that played full minutes together all year for 50 or 60 plus games and has their rotations on D together down and plus everyone except Lopez is fast.

Right.. I want him to close the door earlier by getting us a 15-20 point lead by mid 4th and let the defenders and duo hold it the last 6-7 minutes. We keep being up double digits, lose it at the end with KM sweating his brains out and us all scared he's going to get hurt trying to be fast.. and then need some miracle shot by Dame, Giannis or KM. Let's stop banging our head against the wall.

Remember defense guys? Wasn't it fun?

Daver · Post #1739 » by **Daver** » Fri Oct 4, 2024 11:31 am

Guess with no beas there to blame for the D being hot garbage the next guy up to blame for poor D is now midds.
No way KM becomes a 6th man.Would be stunned if that ever happened

Despite his lack of speed, Mids is one of our most effective defenders.
