This was an important win. Might stop the bleeding temporarily.

Thank you Ryan Rollins for not letting this team get embarrassed tonight.

Nothing like facing a Bud coached team to get an offense right.

Bucks ownership is going to give Doc a raise and 2 year contract extension because he's better than Phil Jackson now.

Fun win to an extent. Relying on Ryan Rollins to help us not get embarrassed by the skeleton of the play in Phoenix Suns doesn't bode well but...a W is a W.

We had the discussion earlier in the year of what the right PG for Giannis looks like. It's Ryan Rollins.

You really gotta have a trash roster and coaching staff to be in the position we're in with how good Giannis is.

Rollins looked great.

We'll see.

Give Rollins the game ball.
Hopefully Sims comes back soon.

Good to see we can still beat a play-in team at home.

The Bucks really miss Bobby Portis right now. Rebounding matters.

I haven't watched this team for a few games, but just checked them out down the stretch of this one. Holy crap is something rotten. They're just indecisive and lethargic about everything. Stopped believing after Dame's demise? Quit on Doc?

The defensive rebounding really stood out. Nobody was boxing out & pursuing the ball. This wasn't w/ Brook on the court. Even when they got it, they'd just hold it there so the opponent could grab at it. There's no urgency, fundamentals.

There are annoyances about Kuz & Prince, but the indictments were over-the-top. Doc has them defending guards. How does it set them up for success? They're going to get tired & burned. Then they become extra scapegoats, for in part, Doc's incompetence. Congrats on passing Phil Jackson!

I think a somewhat low-end outcome for Rollins might be George Hill. He’s an absolute keeper.

Remember how often Hill came up big for us in 2019 when we needed a bucket or timely play?

I think Rollins can absolutely be a steadying influence that this team has so often lacked over the past few years.
