PG: Bucks Tame Mavs

[leroyjw10]

What happened with Pat and DVD? they don't seem to get any minutes lately

He played a few games with the Herd but not on Saturday. DDV needs time to develop and find his shot again.

Not totally surprised by Donte not playing. To me, given who was already on the roster, it was pretty clear the moment he was drafted that he wouldn't play his first year. Sterling and Snell were/are the superior players, and DDV really isn't a PG, yet. Maybe if he tightens up his handles and learns how to shoot, he could take Hill's minutes next year.

Even as one on the general side of relax on MIddleton, this slow spell for him has gone a bit longer than optimal and is a bit concerning. That said, this is also why I don't think we have to fear these crazy 30+ mil offers so many do here.

middleton and luka both 6-18... one is a bucket of ass and one is the next bird

One is gunning and trying to win and attacking and competing and challenging and flopping, and the other is doing what he always does which is get a few flat shots up per quarter and wait for someone else to win the game.

Just look at the second units

Milwaukee - Hill, Brown, Snell, Wilson, Ilyasova
Toronto - FVV, Powell, OG, Miles, JV
Celtics - Rozier, Brown, Hayward, Theis, Baynes
Indiana - Joseph, Evans, Doug, Sabonis, O'Quinn
Sixers - they don't have and they will lose in the 1st round if they end 4-5 in RS

All your rivals have better depth and at least one player in their second unit that could be a starter in any other team.

A good number of those guys haven't been that good at all this year and are living off reputation, and wouldn't be mentioned the way they are if they were playing under Jason Kidd in previous years.

But even 20 a year is too much for a guy is not even the 2nd best player on the team.

one scored 1 point per shot and had a triple double, the other didn't.

[HaroldinGMinor]

Why did that one dude get ejected?

[HaroldinGMinor]

Can't wait to see what Luka becomes in a few years.

Larry Bird.

I have this feeling Luka won't age well.

[tski1972]

Why did that one dude get ejected?

because Thon Maker is bad at basketball.

Just forget about **** Kidd and look at the players. Toronto have their "bench mob" together for the second year. All C's underachieve, but you can argue that they will show up in the playoffs. Indy has Sabonis and Tyreke coming from the bench able to hit 20s.

Not saying that our bench sucks, but you can see that two of the teams you 'll need to win to make it to the finals have an advantage there. It's not that huge, because your starters will be playing more. It's still though a disadvantage,

Bucks need to stop pimping Middleton for the ASG. Hell Marques and Jim led off their last broadcast about it.

I'm not convinced a second Buck is deserving but if one is Bledsoe is waaaay more deserving than Middleton. Hell so are Lopez and Brogdon.

We are deep, but not playoff deep. I can trust in the long run only Hill. Wilson and Brown will have their flashes, but they can't deliver yet night after night. Snell and Ilyasova are meh and need to be replaced.

How are we not playoff team deep compared to other teams respectively?

I would counter those sentiments. I believe Hill could be a starter, Illyasova, and even Brown potentially. I think the Celtics and Indiana have great benches but their first units have holes.

No Toronto doesn't, one of the keys to their bench mob was Siakam and he's starting now, also both VanVleet and OG have regressed significantly. Their bench has actually been a huge disappointment this year, their bench last year was by far 1st in +/-, this year it’s 24th.

The only truly awesome bench player on that list is Sabonis, and I would agree Indy has the advantage there. But I think the other teams' benches are getting overrated here.

Luka had a triple double and played his ass off. The other was Khris Middleton.

GoS is smarter than to troll like that.

Yeah good call by GoS. I'm not trading our 6-10 for any of those. Indiana gives me pause I guess.

Benches don’t matter as much in the playoffs as rotations are shorter. Giannis will be playing 40-42 mph. Wasn’t that Toronto’s downfall last year? A great bench but who cares when that bench is going against the other teams starters

Not really.

[SkilesTheLimit]

Mavs coach is a bitch, put in Kostats you god damn .... sucker

Kostas sucks.

Kostas is a worm. He’s just bait on the end of Mark Cuban’s fishing pole to try and lure the big fish in ‘20-21.
