PG Rockets - Streak Stopped at 4

[Wooderson]

Kuzma and KPJ have been very good. Tonight they weren't. Maybe some thought they'd never have a bad game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bucks are starved for offense and Kuz is rocking like a 50% TS and sub 30% from 3 so far with the Bucks. Saying he's been very good is extremely questionable. He can't shoot, score efficiently or create for others. Bucks have just had no one who can guard respectively up to the 4 beside Giannis since PJ left, so I guess he has that going for him at least?

Kuz is Kuz. He worked damn hard on some of those defensive possessions.

We had our shots. They didn’t go down tonight

Some of the shots were bad selections. That's the meat of the 4th. The decision making was bonkers.

I know I'm in the minority opinion but Green is not better than KPJ at all... their minutes should be at least even.... those dunk/steals said it all; if we punished him for pretend kissing the ball it's weak and lost us this game. When they walled off Dame noone else could dribble and do anything Kuz dribbled out, Giannis fell, Brook shot a 40 fter.. build his confidence, keep ramping up his minutes ... Doc is about to kill his confidence and he'll be useless the rest of the year (like Doc did to Green last year)... I have zero confidence in Doc handling these substitutions or handling young players.. disappointed

Ugly offense and no loose balls or rebounding to make up for it.

The refs totally botched the end. Udoka was clearly signaling to foul again, which everybody saw, so Lillard had every intention to catch and shoot.

[RiotPunch]

Kuz has been busting his ass on D and on the boards, which has been good. The lack of shooting efficiency and not being the sharpest crayon in the box is what hurts. But yeah, he is what he is.

[Wooderson]

That possession in the 4th where they ended up having Kuz and Green 2 man game where Kuz drove and stepped out of bounds signaled doom.

No purpose on offense, get into sets late in the clock and Giannis barely touching the ball despite being the only guy who could reliably create advantages all night.

[Be Here Now]

Doc running that Kuz plus bench mob for 4-5 straight minutes to start the 4th absolutely killed us.

Yep we were playing with a huge handicap from then on. Doc ain't great and apparently his assistants are all yes men.

Dame has to make that shot. Nice move to get the clean look. He was just off all night. I like Kuzma's energy compared to Middleton's corpse but that dude just has no touch on offense. He's like the wing version of Gadz. He's like your 5th or 6th best player if you are serious about winning a title. Both he and KPJ were awful in the 4th. Just awful.

Cut GTJs mins. Green plays within himself and fights hard on D. Prince/Green/GTJ are kind of redundant.

[MickeyDavis]

if we punished him for pretend kissing the ball

What? He wasn't punished lol. Other that that little run he wasn't good tonight. Four turnovers in 11 minutes.

Dame was so Lame. Choked down the stretch, and never let Giannis touch the ball. Dame is not a PG.

I know Gianni’s was pissed but wouldn’t show up his teammate. I feel we would’ve won if dame would’ve gotten it to Giannis instead of thinking he had to shoot the ball because it was dame time. That’s why Gianni’s fouled so quickly because he was frustrated

I don't think he was pissed at all because he wasn't looking for the ball. He didn't look like he could push it because he is not 100%.

[VooDoo7]

You hold a team to 100 points in today's NBA, and STILL lose? That's impressive ****.

[mediocrityrules]

There's too much hero ball and not enough moving the ball through everyone's hands. Kuz is only going to elevate that as a problem. We also need a guy that can actually rebound in congestion. We lost most 50/50 rebounds tonight. It was almost comical after a while.

I don't think it's fair to say that someone had a bad game when they were forced to sit 2 entire quarters and got 11 minutes.. he's being mismanaged

The standards for what is “very good” have dipped substantially since the trade lol. Teams with championship hopes aren’t relying on him to be a third option. Kuzma has been good on defense and pretty mediocre in pretty much any other part of the game. The defense is all a lot of posters choose to focus on.

[Bernman]

These are the games you miss Midds. That missed open three from Kuz and the spaz attack on the fast break were rough.

Just a poor night on offence. We had so many chances down the stretch and couldn’t make it happen. Ugh.

Khris would have been out anyway

It's not a back-to-back. Missed very few non back-to-backs since his return. Just played. Cheap And 1 ploy.

[CJTURT]

Broke Lopez with the 40 foot jack with 17 seconds to go. Nice.

As the kids would say there's quite a bit of copium huffing on this board.

Giannis was wide open in the paint on that shot attempt.

[Bernman]

None of these games have been easy since the trades. Grinding wins, losses. That's what you get for the most part when you upgrade the d but downgrade the skill, i.q. It's hard for us to consistently get good shots & make them.

[CJTURT]

Dick rivers is a shell of an old coach. Terrible hire. We got one or two more years of Giannis here tops. You can’t keep giving a guy like that a bunch of old washed up vets on minimum deals. You can’t draft either. Not good . Houston is so much more athletic. That was crazy to watch.
