PG Orlando: On to Vegas

[Ron Swanson]

Important for the whole team to box out, but it's a much bigger issue when your bigs can't/refuse. Giannis and Bobby have been the most negatively impactful culprits there. Like, Goga Bitadze out-rebounding our entire team on the offensive glass just shouldn't happen. The Brook stuff is what it is. Could certainly be an element of playing 5-games in 7-days for a 36-year old dude, but you're gonna get these matchups where he just doesn't have it against fresher legs.

That's why this team really needs to either embrace small-ball more often, or get a more versatile backup PF/C. Brook logging nearly 33-minutes a night just isn't sustainable and Doc needs to figure this **** out. Throw in Dame playing 36 and Giannis playing 35 a night, and it's already looking like another season where we're gonna run these dudes into the ground just to eek out a mid-high 40's win season.

Even Brian Anderson is on board... it's time to accept Dairy into your life

Maybe BigO is lactose intolerant.

Green is the opposite of dairy. One is vegan and the other is full fat.

Plus, when you give someone a nickname referencing one of the greatest players of all time, there should be some similarity other than pigmentation.

I plead guilty to bni; bad nickname intolerance.

Weird that you think I dubbed him Dairy Bird because he's white and not the very, very obvious reason.

Personally, I think nicknames that highlight the whiteness of players to be quite funny.

So Portis haters now glaze as Khris zero point game as one of the most impactful 0 points game they have ever seen. Will you cut this bs ?
And the one who wonders what happened to Prince , I have already told you, he is on Khrisis. I told you psychologically Khris return will hurt Prince , he will take a big hit on his confidence and minutes and this is what's happening. From the best 3p shootet in the league 58% to a non factor and the one the Portis haters will target next. It is already happening , now the "Prince is trash" talk will begin... I love you Prince, stay strong buddy, keep hitting your 3s and eventually Khris will probably get hurt again and you will get the role you had and thrived.

I'm very comfortable with these 2 thoughts coexisting in my head:

1. I think Bobby Portis is a pretty good basketball player: 20 & 10 every night with starters minutes on the right team.
2. I think the Bucks should trade Bobby Portis to get younger, more athletic, and better defensively in the front-court. IMO, it's the missing piece to a championship run.

The biggest reason for #2 is Bobby is probable the only moveable asset the Bucks have right now to expect anything of quality in return. And right now - sell high!

I'm not a huge fan of building statues of people, but when the inevitable statue of Giannis is erected outside of Fiserv, it should include Khris lobbing him an oop.

YES, and it should only include Khris's forearm & hand lobbing and be sited all the way down the Fiserv plaza so no one photo can possibly incompass the full court. Khris's epic long-term consistency is the schznt

... I love you Prince, stay strong buddy.

We have the same challenge with Brook as we have with Bobby. Both guys are very valuable to this team in certain situations and matchups. Trading one of them for Larry Nance, Jr. might sound rational, but I think we’d lose more than we gain.

We need a meaningful 16 game starter, and those guys don’t grow on trees for the assets we have.

[Ron Swanson]

Idk, I think you could get a pretty good player for either Bobby or Brook and a 2031 Top-3 protected 1st.

If they want to do it right it'll be a statue of Giannis next to a fountain for Khris.

I'm comfortable w/ these 2 thoughts coexisting in my head:

1. He's played well the last 2-3 games & it could continue for a period.
2. It's hard to buy long-term cuz the struggles lasted for 2-3 yrs & a guy (re)raising his stock is all the more reason to make a trade

Playoff Brook is a thing. There's been stretches where he carried us, even offensively. He just has to understand when he doesn't have the 3 point touch that he should do his drop step stuff under the hoop.

Unfortunately we're just a couple months from trading Pat and the pick for TJ McConnell.

[MiltownMadness]

Khris should have a statue of himself hunched over, mid dribbling the ball off his ankle while rainforest amounts of sweat drip off his person

[-Jragon-]

Never thought i'd see the day where KM gets 0 points and 8 assists... kinda sexy actually... this dude keeps surprising me.. what else you got up your sleeve buddy?

[-Jragon-]

Prince almost pulled a 20 min Snell.. hope we can wake him back up... someone get some smelling salts or an IV or something.

Awwwe come on man... I'm trying to be a good boy here but I think the statue should be him playing Xbox recovering from surgery with a huge bowl of chicken Alfredo his pasta chef made

I'd take MC-sexy but can we interest them in MB instead of the pick?

Giannis already admitted he’s gunning for an MVP.

I mean, I’d love it but it’s starting to show not only in his play style but also in his energy. Seems to be a touch slower defensively and he’s literally not leaving his feet for rebounds.

I’m not one to nitpick considering he’s a once in a…ever player but I think he needs to embrace team ball a bit more, if only to ensure his effectiveness on both ends and to ensure he has enough gas in the tank for the entire season.

It's a good formula for him. Most teams are coming in to stop Dame as the #1 priority. They realize that they can stay in the game with Giannis getting 2 points at a time and missing half his free throws but if they let Dame go off scoring by 3 or even 4 per possession they will be down 20 before they blink. For us on the other hand... we should be getting Dame rolling too; it's a failure by someone that he hasn't been.
