Need wings and more perimeter shot creators. This is meh.


Sometimes I can be right!


I'll be super-impressed when you're positive about something and it turns out good :wink:

No offense, but predicting bad things to befall the Bucks isn't exactly challenging :lol:

Once the man stops clowning around with Bango and fencing Disney merchandise, we'll be fine. :thumbsup:

I'm still hopeful but he might just end up in Portland in one month.

He's still a positive in NET rating fwiw

I feel for you PP. For me this would be like if the Bucks finally brought in Nikola Pekovic and he absolutely sucked.

Robin’s done. Hopefully it doesn't mess with Brook too much once the Bucks ship him off after the December restriction is lifted.

Still say we have to harness the voodoo twin magic. Brook and Robin invented their own basketball language and we must let them speak it.

I know he looks like Brook and sounds like Brook, but can we not use him like Brook?

Let him play his game for those 10-15 minutes, especially if he's on the floor when Giannis is off, then we don't have to worry about spacing him 30 feet from the basket as much right?

He's no Pero Antic, that's for sure.

Still not worried about Rolo at all. Let's see if he can be useful against the Pacers on Saturday when they throw Sabonis & Turner on the floor together (if they are doing this). Rolo will be helpful vs Sixers front court. We'll need him vs Gasol and Raptors.

He's a very matchup based player and is here for the playoffs. Don't see him being traded.

Still, give him a night off here and there so Bucks can see Bender in some regular season action.

The Embiid stopper thing is absolute fantasy land. If he’s struggling against Zubac and Wendell Carter Jr. I can’t fathom what the best center in the league is gonna do to him.

No doubt. Antic could spread floor to extend the defense. He was a better passer, post defender and screen setter than Robin at the same age. Most importantly, he was a better fit for Bud ball.

Maybe Brook and Robin are just not meant to play together. Both have been playing probably the worst basketball of their respective careers. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe it's older age. Maybe they're up all hours gaming together.

I'd like to see Bud give Dragan a shot here or there. Maybe every third game he gets the backup C minutes, just to see what happens.

Lol, was half-joking. He was better at both being Macedonian and shooting 3's. That's about it.

I know. Check their age 31 numbers. Robin was a better player until this exact point in their respective careers. Antic was also a solid team defender and strong as hell guarding the post.

Pero was also very good for 2 very sneakily-painful fouls each game, and I can only presume by his various provocations over the years that he could say so many filthy things about Embiid's immediate family that he would surely retaliate and possibly get ejected during a crucial PO game :)

RoLo is going to entice Embiid into a fight, and they'll both get ejected. :thumbsup:
