Perfect game, showed out well early, faded and came home with the L. George again looking good, coulibaly showing flashes, and Johnson, though way too early to say anything at all about his ability, at least shows some of the explosiveness we lack in our everyone but Coulibaly.

Pretty sure we're going to see a 50 spot for Poole before the season is out. Maybe more than that in him - he only shot 4-17 on 3's this game and still went for 45.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

Also, Charlotte won, and they're probably our biggest competition in the race for the worst record. All in all, complete success.

Yep. And the icing on the cake is Wizards alumni Kuzma gone for good! Tonite he is giving the Bucks a glimpse of his basketball savvy: 4/13 FGs, 2 TOs and -15 in plus minus. :lol:

Seriously, I really liked what I saw defensively tonite. Everyone worked their butts off. Special mention to Holmes and George.

These were the type of games I envisioned making the rebuild fun and watching them truly grow. More of these types of games. So glad Kuzma is gone. Dead weight.

Really respectable loss today. Jordan Poole dropping ,45 is nice.

George and Bub looked really solid tonight. Vuk is looking like he has some real potential as a back up big.

Fun game. But hard to see Vukcevic making it as an NBA center. He doesn't have the necessary bulk, strength or athleticism. Mobley was taking advantage, and no resistance on drives to the basket.

The game was fun to watch; for now that's what counts.

Don't know how Johnson will turn out, obviously, but he is clearly extremely athletic & gifted.

Richaun Holmes was terrific -- definitely a guy who can still play in the league at a solid level.
