PG Hawks: One Good Quarter

[Wonka]

Kuzma is like 14th on the list of issues tonight. He was fine and he showed up like 5 minutes ago.

How did Mids do tonight?

Kuzma 4-13 and a -15 when he was on the court. Blame it on the fact he's new if you want, but he didn't play any better in Washington.

But hang on to that false hope. He'll have some good games for sure and you can play them up.

How did Middleton play tonight? Plus minus is dumb but you do you

I agree that it’s dumb, but plus/minus was used religiously against Khris here lol. It’s a fair statistic to bring up.

[RiotPunch]

Horst sat on his hands when big changes were needed last offseason. Instead, he bet on Gary Trent as a min signing being the answer, along with continuity.

The Khris double-ankle surgery was definitely a wrench thrown into it all but keeping Brook/Bobby and drafting a project in the 1st were damning for this season.

[ReginaldDwight]

AJax makes Ben Simmons look like a chucker. My God man, shoot the **** ball. I’ve never seen a more passive offensively inept player on the Bucks.

Dude is awful, sorry but his "Hustle" isnt enough to be playing in the NBA. Pretty much 4v5 on offense when hes in.

Having a cadre of G-league guards while paying $60mm a year to rich man’s Mo Williams won’t cut it.

cant be a plus minus when you never play anymore

[rilamann]

In my over 30 years as a Bucks fan. This might be my most annoying and least favorite Bucks team all-time.

There have been worse Bucks teams than this one, obviously.

But this is my least favorite team because they are trash, but could actually be pretty damn good if they wanted to be.

[msiris]

Teams tend to go through the motions heading into the All-Star break. But there are some systemic problems with this roster that require significant surgery. We don't have the right surgeon. We need a new GM, and that won't come until the offseason.

So, my hope at this point is that they find a rhythm and we see a playoff run with a healthy Giannis and Dame and let the cards fall where they may.

Doc needs to go as well.

Your response makes absolutely no sense?

Admits he only read the box-score and then has the arrogance to call out people who correctly saw that Kuzma played more than fine tonight, lol.

Good thing you missed most of the 90s

I see you have finally come around on my Dame is just a glorified Mo Williams with a green light thing.

I said that last season and ruffled quite a few feathers. If I remember, I think I even made the Epi alarm go off.

Honestly I don't like the fact that he shoots too many 3s

Your Dame takes are withering these days. I wish I didn't agree most of the time as I watch the game.

[Willie Colon]

Let's not do the "we would have won with Middleton" thing after each loss. He was in street clothes tonight in Washington. Kuzma was fine.

12 points in 4-13 shots with a -15. He’s exactly what he was on the Wiz. If this is what counts for fine then we’re well and truly screwed.

He was a big part of why we went up huge in the second quarter. The ball movement and his own movement off ball were excellent.

The starting lineup is what really **** the bed. They matched up horribly against the Hawks and Doc stuck with them too long in the 3rd. Not to mention all our shooters went ice cold in the second half.

No, I caught most of the 90's. Been a Bucks fan since 1991. Those 90's teams sucked, but at least they didn't suck with a generational talent in the prime of his career.

Those Bucks teams with Todd Day and Ken Norman were pretty **** annoying. This current squad takes the cake though.

[SirChurros]

Blaming this one on Kuz is next level delusion. Lol.

[BroncoBuck]

Brook played like a man who wanted out. I want to know what happened there. He was beyond useless tonight but he may also be gassed because Doc has ground him into pulp

He was playing this much under Griff too, and that was with Griff having him chase guys on the perimeter.

No he wasn’t

Yes he was.

Brook averaged 31.5 minutes per game in the 43 games Griff coached.

Fair

[stillgotgame]

Crazy we’re back to purgatory with the most dominant player in the league, coaching and organizational malpractice smh

This smells like Mike Sherman coach & GM of Brett Favre in his prime. Reeks of incompetency.

We're so lucky to have so many superstars to root for. Most fans don't see Favre, White, Rodgers and Giannis to root for in the history of their team's sports. I've gotten to root for all of them, lucky enough to seen them in person about 50 games, and have all their jerseys.

[Matches Malone]

I want to be mad at Horst, but then I think about the moves that could have been that ultimately got squashed by the Owners or Giannis. Passing on Atkinson for Doc was an abomination. Jimmy Haslem is a cancer that needs to be cut out of our organization. One of you needs to become a billionaire already and buy some of the team lol.
