Maxey going to the rim is collapsing the Bucks's defense, even if isn't scoring.

I like it.

When you're too old to get buckets, just fall down. Lillard is nailing the transition to washed.

Yabu hitting already. Its a wrap. Give us the trophy, hype train engaged.

So far, about as good as we could expect.

We're small w/out Embiid - but the energy on the glass has been awesome

Yabu as a small 5 sounds good on paper, but it's kind of dumb against a line up with Portis and Brook

Also - Yabuselle's game is a perfect fit for us. I really think he can play next to Embiid as the starting PF when we want to go "big".

Maxey
Oubre
George
Yabuselle
Embiid

This could be our playoff lineup

Maxey seems to have some new tricks on his bag, but hes not shooting well tonight. With Embiid and PG back he will not be asked to carry the offense all the time.

Agreed. We're going super small, not good

Feels like his shot has been broke since the pre season.

Some of those are bad luck bounces. Variance will revert eventually, i like that he's getting separation and that going to the rim is creating offensive rebounding chances.

Its not so simple playing Yabu at the 4 because his shot release is slow.

We might need to play Adam Bona if we run out of guys to play

Did Maxey change his form? I can't tell.

Wow the franchise is ballin

Murray_17 · Post #38 » by **Murray_17** » Thu Oct 24, 2024 12:14 am

Pretty dumbfounded at the fact Giannis and Dame have already played one season together and it looks like they hate to PnR.

I just don't get it

His shot is slightly quicker.

Yabu is going to be incredibly valuable if he can play minutes at the 4 with Jo.
