Nothing like a Beasley/Middleton **** fight after a game neither of them played in.

Middleton’s towel wave had more snap to it.

Maybe a predecessor of one of Mar or AJJ starting in Beas's spot? Or both???

Beasley is a 3pt killer and Middleton is an amazing spot up shooter from all over the court who can get you an easy 2 when you need it. What am I missing? They’re very different. And they both compliment each other. Sheesh.

Do not like the Whiter Donte slander at all.

Are we too late to call AJ Whitest Donte? Can you get a shout out from Marques? Novak?

I know it was against the lowly Pistons (granted we only beat them by 2 points last month however), but it was nice to see Ajax and MarJon set the tone from the tip. I'm to used to seeing our vets start the games in "pre-workout" mode almost every game as they loosen their joints.

He's just unnecessary, but gets the dream role with our starters because he's the vet.

Literally the only difference between him and Khris this year is Khris’ chemistry with Giannis is a bit better, due to their countless years playing together. If you can be nearly equal to Khris with the way everyone talks about him that’s a good thing for the minimum.

Agreed.. also though sad for the guy making huge Bucks in this equation.

Then worse for him that we look faster, better D, better fast breaks, better hustle, better rebounding, better Overall team chemistry and not even a drop off on shooting by playing MB or either AJ over KM

I think Robin was noticeably better in pre season games. Hoping he improves from his current low level as he plays more.

Dre turning to the opponents bench and talking **** whenever he makes a shot from the corner is one of my favorite things.

Midd's is putting up 20/8/7 per 36, with obvious Midd's inconsistencies and minutes restrictions. I'm fine with Beasley but he is contributing more than Beasley is when he's on the court rather easily.

But really the "anyone can do Malik Beasley's role because we just watched them beatdown a team on a 23 game losing streak" is some Semi Ojeleye/Sam Merrill bull.

If I thought he could consistently put up these numbers or better in 30-35 mins a game this year I wouldn’t be making the argument. Midds is a 20-25 min a game player now, both because of questionable defense and his physical condition.

Did you suffer a major TBI recently? No reason, just asking.

Defense looked great with MarJon and AJJ instead of Khris and Beas but when we face elite teams, AJJ and MarJon will have to make 15 wide open 3s in order for our offense to not collapse against the packed paint.

Our spacing with the starters is ridiculous and so far is more impactful than more defense and energy from our young guys.

We will have to find more balance in our rotation.

Nice to see Ajax and AJ Green playing well.

Great, clinical game by the starters. Looking good. The chemistry between Giannis and Dame is getting better.

It wasn't just Dre. Detroit bench must have been talking a lot of trash to anyone standing in the corner.

I think this thread should have been more about how we got Livingston the game ball for his first NBA points...

Milbucks96 · Post #77 » by **Milbucks96** » Sun Dec 17, 2023 1:25 pm

I really wonder why people are so obsessed with Khris’s money lol that’s how you know it’s personal and not about what he can do on the court, but I still can’t figure out why for the life of me. Has some info been shared on the board about Khris back in the day?

Do you remember the year where Warriors (+KD) & Cavs (Lebron+Kyrie+Love) met in the Finals. Both teams were averaging 140+ points offensively. They were just unstoppable. We have the potential to reach at that level. Last 3 games we are scoring above 140 points. Hope this is the habit we build in the regular season. Looking forward to continue dominating

large group of guys never will tho. their takes on the guy turned out so ass backwards they cant cope.

Milbucks96 · Post #80 » by **Milbucks96** » Sun Dec 17, 2023 2:09 pm

Our starting lineup is legit one of the best in the league and MJB and AJJ aren’t going to make it better lol. Our defensive numbers are great with those 5 out there and it’s plenty minutes and possessions to know that it’s legit.

Now it’s reasonable to wonder if that’s going to hold up in the playoffs (it won’t), but that doesn’t mean it won’t for the rest of the season or whatever. And while Beas has been great, he has not been better than Khris in the slightest lol. When it’s time to make a decision about the playoff starters, it will be an easy one to move Beas to the bench unless an injury setback happens for Khris.
