He should only go by his number now. 18 hasn't earnt his name being mentioned.

I still can't believe we traded for him.

I hate kuzma, get him off this team. If he plays substantial minutes, that brings our potential way down. He looks confused on offense and defense, same thing with prince always looks lost on D. I think sims is more valuable than kuzma

Someone hacked Rilaman's account. I'll investigate. :wink:

It's actually me, I swear.

:lol:

I'm going into this season with a ton of positive excitement. I really like this Bucks team.


It's finally esthetically pleasing basketball, played by likeable players. Obviously Kuzma still needs to go, but they're working on it

Prince's shooting has been insane as a Buck. Good depth player.

I understand why they're playing Kuzma right now, but yeah, he's not needed and he's awful. Bobby can be the lone backup 4/5, just like he's always been.

Kuzma misses more layups than a 6’9 player ever should miss but besides him I really like this team.

Hell of a pass from Turner there on the move.

We traded for his salary slot. That extra $10 million got us out of the 2nd apron, allowed Turner to be signed and keeps us out of being a repeater luxury tax team.

Offense and ball movement great. The defense not so good.

The Bucks could play a lot harder on D, hopefully they do when it counts

Yeah was a necessary evil, but now we need an exorcism

Our second unit is much better defensively with sims in it

This roster is two players away from being real contenders if they can stay healthy.

Imagine if we had traded Dame instead to get out of the Apron.

As expected , our shooting is going to do a lot of heavy lifting for the offense by the looks of things. Going to need to find ways to create looks at the rim that isn't just Giannis doing what he does.

The money savings of course was a factor but we were linked to Kuzma before so we definitely liked him

This was my main takeaway from that first half. First time I’ve watched so far this preseason I was very impressed by a few passes he made.
