He should not be starting, not even saying we'd win, but the offense is disaster with him in the starting lineup.
All that we need is steady, competent PG play. Thats it!! We have EXACTLY this sitting on the end of the bench in Cory Joseph. Someone to just set the table, not turn it over, take what the game gives him, get the play happening as quick as possible and not dribble the ball at midcourt until 10 seconds are left on the clock, and not try to be the hero.
Mose has a serious blind-spot when it comes to Cole and its becoming a big issue.

You have a hate boner for Cole lol. I'm not even high on him but an issue? Cole is literally the reason we have +3 or 4 wins this year, like it or not. Don't care if he's traded tomorrow for an upgrade (I like him as a person, player he is frustrating) - but in the grand scheme of things.. Cole injecting hit or miss offense in a terrible offense is hardly an issue in the big picture.
Having to depend on him in a big game though? Yeah, that's another story.

Dude.. I think Cole sucks too but no coach that is trying to win games is going to play Cory Jo.
That’s 100% a roster construction problem, not a coaching problem.

AB going from 39% from 3 last year to 25% this year has been one of the biggest disappointments of the season for me. I expected the percentage to drop a bit with an increase in volume but man... he's shooting it as poorly as Amen Thompson.

Those winning moments are looking like some crazy outliers in his game with a larger sample size. In the 15 games we've played since Franz went down, Cole is shooting 48% TS% on 29% USG. 27% from 3 and 39% fg% overall. 3.7 assists to 2 turnovers. He has an ortg of 105.5 and a drtg of 107.9, so a netrtg of -2.4.
Worth noting that AB has also been equally as bad across those games, too. His numbers are scarily similar to Cole's.

Ok, good point.

People should take note that in this garbage time when the teams are supposed to empty their benches we're still playing our starting C and our 2nd unit. That's how shorthanded we are.

I'd like to see AB enter takeover mode in a garbage time run like this. Take the chance to get shots up without as much pressure on him.

We shot ourselves out of the game in the 1st quarter by, once again, refusing to accept that we're the worst 3pt shooting team in the league.
Mose just sits back and watches, as usual, with absolutely no consequences of any kind.
The Bucks took 12 three's the entire night, 12!
And they massacred us. A lesson to be learned here for anyone who actually cares about playing the right way.
