PG Sixers - Bucks Roll Without Connaughton

[Daver]

Time to pull the plug on the starting AJax experiment.

I rather have him start then prince but once Giannis comes back
Dame
Trent
Kuzma
Giannis
Lopez
Would be my starters.
Trent has really turned his season around I think he’s earned another chance to start.

As a player with pride im sure he saying to himself wtf i lost the starting gig to this guy and i have out preformed him since november

Good win. Lots of positive performances. Sadly, Brook continues to have his least impactful stretch as a Buck. We look much more energetic on both sides with Brook off

I wonder if his back is acting up or something

Brook had 15/8 and 2 blocks. He was good today.

Id take those stats from him every gsme especially the rebounds think thats the most rebounds hes had in 1 game since like forever

[benultimate]

No reason for Hubie to quit yet. Hope he comes back.

He still has great insights but he was rambling on a bit today
But I guess he's always been a bit of a rambler

He seemed charged up after Embiid got that cheap foul on him in the 1st.

Doc is absolutely going to run Dame into the ground with Giannis out for a few weeks.

I really hope Giannis can return after the break. Then it's only 2 more games. I think it will be longer though.

Yep, they learned nothing from last year

Has KPJ arrived? He could take some of the load off Dame but yeh like Kuz he isn't an efficient scorer

[WeMajor34]

I continue to be encouraged by Kuz’s ability to move off the ball. The shooting is definitely worrisome but if he keeps cutting/rolling off screens, Giannis and Dame will find him in those pockets.

I was very impressed with his passing today. Most of his reads translated into getting open threes for our shooters. That surely helps but I also think he needs to be a tad more aggressive. He’s probably just in that “new guy” mode where he wants to please his teammates and the coaching staff.

Hopefully we see Sims tomorrow night. I wouldn’t be surprised if Doc and the coaching staff are finding ways for him to be effective while not being able to shoot. He’s one of the only non-shooters we’ve had on this team in a long time.

He was on the bench in uniform. I’m guessing we see him (and Sims) tomorrow night against Golden State?

Rollins didn’t get much burn today. I’m sure Doc wants to see another ball handler out there, even with KPJ’s warts.

[Plossum]

Ugh I echo the comments here about doc needing to cut the BS with Ajax and just start Green.

Ajax has not proven himself to be anything more than energy guy who can defend. It’s nice to have a player like that but it’s a pretty niche role and not something we should be wasting starter minutes on. He’s a good kid who does his job without complaint but he’s not capable enough for anything more.

Dame, Green, Kuz, Giannis, Brook needs to be given some burn as we close toward the playoffs.

Bobby, Trent, TP is your 8 man playoff rotation with Ajax at spot minutes as needed.

[slos]

I like Kuzma. It's so refreshing having an available and athletic forward. Not having Giannis sucks, but I believe it will help Kuz fit in Milwaukee faster playing at PF with a bigger role.

[jakecronus8]

Fingers crossed KK is the guy that finally unlocks Giannis at the 5.

[LUKE23]

I go:

Dame
GTJ
Kuzma
GA
Lopez

When healthy. GTJ’s shot is back and I feel like his on ball d/effort is really damn solid.

[Neuromancer56]

The thought of Kuzma is starting to grow on me. We needed to get younger, more athletic and less injury prone.

[Shaffty]

he isnt an efficent scorer but we need someone above the height of 6'6" who can run, jump, get back on defense, jump up and grab the ball on rebounds, can provide weak side help at the rim from guarding the corner.

and kuzma can do all those things really well for us

[ShootingtheJ]

I go:

Dame
GTJ
Kuzma
GA
Lopez

When healthy. GTJ’s shot is back and I feel like his on ball d/effort is really damn solid.

Green would start over GTJ for his defense. Green's just the better overall player.

Just as you thought ajax was so special n trent was just a replacement player.
Green isnt close to being a better overall player thsn trent n his D isnt that much if at all better than trents
