Some may think Doc or Ham is responsible for tonight, but the real ones know who must be pulling the strings tonight

The most amazing part was surving with that Kuzma/Brook lineup

Turns out that if you start an appropriate lineup, positive things happen!

The worst part of the Sims injury is all the KPJ alley-oops we missed out on. Would have opened up Giannis' eyes a bit too.

We even survived the Brook and Kuz minutes in the first quarter. Both guys are looking more engaged. But hopefully they don’t play much more in this game.

This quarter shows why Horst was extended. We have the talent on this roster. Just not utilized correctly til now.

Kuzma trade was still awful though.

In a different world the Bucks open the series with this lineup and dame is still sitting or he comes of the bench in limited minutes.

The question I have is, you see this across all sports with coaches being stubborn making obvious changes. Why are they like that?

Does this quarter remind anyone else our first game against the Pacers so far?

Against 2nd units, limited run to spell, is more tolerable. But Doc could also just shorten his rotation. Don't know why he needs all 3 of Sims, Brook, & Kuz on the floor.

One that made sense. Giannis surrounded by shooters who can play. GTJ, Dairy, KPJ and Bobby. Oh and can execute a decent switching defense.

Only bad thing about that quarter was Giannis and KPJ picking up 2 fouls.

I actually wouldn’t mind having him as head coach after what we’ve seen the last few years
