Yeah early Brook was better. Definitely more versatile offensively and similar defensively.

We don’t have enough explosive scorers to make a run nor a good enough defense to clamp down.

Thanasis for Giannis and call it a night

Shame Turner slapped down, because there’s no way Mobley was making a layup there. He didn’t have full control of the ball.

Giannis not at all engaged with rebounding is a massive strike against coaching.

Ridiculous to call that foul on Giannis after letting Cavs get away with more contact on more drives.

Bucks are stuck between a rock and hard place. They’re gonna want to make some moves to placate giannis but don’t really have any assets until the offseason.

This team lacks a lot of fundamental basketball skills. While they’re athletic and unselfish, this is one of the worst rebounding/ball handling/passing teams we’ve seen in a long time. Turner and Bobby have been putrid early.

I love that we finally put together a roster with adequate ball handling and by game 3 the best 2 are on ice and we're back to flailing.

Maybe but it shouldn't take coaching to get a 2X MVP to rebound better.

I stand corrected. Lisa tells me it is only 4 fouls on Mobley....

I know his inside scoring over the course of his career does not match Brook. Both are solid shooters and can do it on volume too. Rebounding is known as a weakness for both. What am I missing?

When you lose, you are bad, always have been, and always will be.

Like how this team competes though. We will be fine once we get our other ball handlers. This thing clicks with KPJ in that starting 5

Green and Merrill both at 20 minutes. Merrill has 6 3 point attempts, Green has 3.
