It's like KPJ is an important player for this team.

I mean, we've seen him the last 5 years clearly not suck. One team is coached by Ric Carlisle, the other Doc Rivers

I think this is pretty much who he has been in his prime years. He doesn’t suck but he’s just ok. A decent stating center that’s matchup dependent due to a lack of rebounding and mobility. I don’t think coaching has much to do with it for him. Doc is garbage though.

I feel ya. I feel like a crazy person. I like this team and they fit well around Giannis. We are so fun to watch when KPJ is playing with and without Giannis. This was the chemistry we were hoping for with Dame. Our W/L reflects Giannis and KPJ being hurt, plus laking a solid rebounder.

Yes, in spite of the record, I don't think this team is bad.

I hope we win this game go on a winning streak and tell Giannis to go F himself

Is it possible Giannis and Horst cooked up a tank scheme?

Some games Sims looks like a G Leaguer, but other games he's pretty good. 10/7 in a half against a good Detroit team.

Why would we trade Kuzma and Portis. They have negative value. Unless you are doing something weird like getting Paul George and picks you just let them lead the tank or sit on the bench until they become expirings. I think it makes more sense to trade KPj with Giannis.

Nah Scoot needs to stay and be a part of the rebuild

If the team is gonna suck, it better be for guys I can get behind and not paying a guy who is going to put up big numbers on a lottery team who has a an extremely questionable pass that cause him to be out of the league despite being a budding all-star level talent at 22 year old....

Kuzma's run off success didn't last long. Awful versus Washington, and now limited minutes tonight.

at least Giannis walked off on his own?

Have we seen any Achilles injuries where they walk off though?

True, but I've seen a lot of coaches who couldn't get anything out of KPJ. Whenever Doc gets the boot, I know the next coach is going to annoy me too.

Gotta move on brother, the kid made a mistake and seems to have made changes in his life, demeanor and behavior. He’s a talented player and which is a need and he’s been doing well since being with the organization.

I think this is the story with most back ups around the league. The issue with Sims is that he lacks other skills to keep his minutes up.

No team with Giannis should ever be this bad.

Obviously Giannis is out tonight and he has missed some games. But just in general if you take the season as a whole and if you look at the games when Giannis has played, the Bucks have looked embarrassingly bad at times with Giannis on the floor.

Probably partly Doc is horrible. But it also appears that Giannis' head is no longer in Milwaukee.

For those who said Giannis faked an injury, I hope they're right because if they're wrong that's probably his Achilles.
