That Jazz game is suddenly a big deal if they lose again Monday

Cant fault dame or giannis and they should have scored even more considering they each blew 3 layups each.

Bobby being an abject disaster is really killing us. A -16 in a tight game like this really stands out when no one else is really that close.

Bobby has no value now. Dude is just not a plus player.

On the plus side, i put a happiness hedge bet on cle when they called timeout after we built our biggest lead. Cashed at +270.

Horst is going to trade that 2031 first, isn't he?

to lose that game, at home, with that performance.... says alot.

we have nothing besides him and giannis. they did look the best ive seen them together as a tandem so there is that i guess. prince showed up. lopez was pretty huge defensively.

rest of the roster is a mess tho

BUCKnation mentioned it at the end of the GT but no idea why Giannis didn't double? He didn't have the feel to at least try an add more pressure on Mitchell when he lost the ball? He kinda just stood there.

I just hope both teams had fun

I get it if he does. What's Serge Ibaka up to?

He has to double there. Terrible.

All that crap about Dame and Giannis not liking each other is hog wash.

We needed Dairy and Andre Jackson to become regulars in an NBA 9-man rotation, and that didn't happen.

Just thinking about how we haven't been able to replace Grayson Allen.

Giannis and Dame finally play a good game together but no one else shows up. Its mindboggling how bad our role players are right now, how does everybody start out cold? The team clicking on all cylinders isn't good enough to beat Cleveland, how many more games are we going to see Dame hit 10 3s in? Team just doesn't look good.

Definitely the best I’ve seen them.

Giannis right from the beginning was moving with more urgency on offense with his dribble handoffs. There were moments of real screens set when dame was on ball - one in particular where Dame slowed down to ensure Giannis and him could get close. Giannis then was an absolute terror in transition, and his touch around the hoop on post-ups was great.

They both did a better job finding each other for sure.

We ‘re just getting so little from the rest of the roster.

Losing will force change and this team as a whole just ain’t it. No idea what to do but I’m not the multi-millionaire in charge of fixing it. Anyone with a bright idea, let that **** fly.

we should have doubled. there was no way he wasnt the shooter and he wouldnt have given it up. not sure giannis coming weakside would have taken away the drive back away from the sideline tho

Can't leave Big Shot Don 9 seconds to get to his spot. Trent defended well, Giannis should have left his man to force anyone else to beat us.

Two masterpieces from our top enders, blunder city for the rest of the roster. Prince's inability to stay in front of anyone negates his offensive output, Bobby gets the offense stuck in the mud while sabotaging the defense.

Horst gave it a shot with some solid vet min signings to fill this thing out, but they are still vet min dudes at the end of the day.

What teams will even give value for Bobby or Brook in contract years? We're a year or two too late on reshaping the roster in a meaningful way.

aj needs some run. consistently. gtj aint it and aj is the closest to being at least something as an alternative there. if you gave him the looks and leash gtj is getting hed figure it out youd have to hope

The Bucks had a lot of defensive lapses in this game. Also gave up too many 2nd and 3rd chances as well.
