not facing the basket in traffic.. no. backdowns im fine with it..... or in space sure. he actually is a good passer if he turns the corner and has some space

Yep. He's got good vision, and his decision-making is generally solid, but he gets let down by his handle when there's pressure.

Yeah. I think they need to post brook more. Outside of embid in the east I don't think there is a center who can guard him.

Haven’t been following the thread but in an off season with a bunch of FA it is fair to ask if these guys are any good playing without Giannis.

13-17 tops for the Lakers and 28-33 wins for the Bucks.

Coaching alone should get us over 40 wins but around 43-45 is the max this team can do without him.

Detroit has coaching and atleast one all star and they are struggling to get 40 wins.
We have no clear all stars in our starting lineup but just 4 good players.
I know Bud is good but that's not enough for more than the 8th seed in this eastern conference.
Maybe in the previous years..

Little concerning we can’t close out the star quintet of Caruso, Javale, KCP, Kuzma and Rondo.

Run the offense through Brook.

I don't think 50. 45 maybe. Giannis is worth 12-15 wins. Hence their 60 win pace.

We have 5 rotational guys (if you include Bledsoe) that were going to be FAs this off-season and could command 90m+. Horst needs to decide if its worth it or if these guys are replaceable at a cheaper price.

Thank God the Lakers are trash phew

I never seen a offensive foul where too guys are running to a spot. Usually it’s a blocking foul.

That's just what I think, sorry if it bothers you so much. I know what depth and coaching can do in the regular season. I also know that the Bucks are not accustomed to playing without Giannis, Brogdon, Ersan, Brown, and DDV.

Can we get KCP and Bullock to replace Middleton next year? Only sort of joking 8-)
