Dude he's been way better than Bledsoe. The first round, and the last few minutes of game 7 vs Brooklyn alone are far beyond what Bledsoe is capable of. Not to mention actually having to be guarded and his man not leaving him to roam.


Yes, 1 or 2 of every 7 games Jrue plays good on offense, whoop de doo. People still mostly guarded bledsoe too

EDITED: I misread your message, sorry


I'm not saying Jrue has been great. But you wouldn't still be in the playoffs with Bledsoe there instead of him.


Yes, I'll concede it was enough to push us past Brooklyn. But if we don't get a chip, who cares? We mortgaged the future.

Middleton looks like Durant one night, Cedi Osman the next.

It might be the camera angle but it looks like Cam has gotten taller. I mean he looks taller than Middleton.

I think this loss is squarely on Bud. he still has a perfectly healthy Antetokounmpo over on the bench next to him and never really had to miss a Antetokounmpoless beat. Could have just swapped a new one in, played on, and the Hawks, who are playing like they are completely oblivious to reality anyway, likely wouldn't have even noticed.

I’m not able to watch, but from stats Lou seems to be doing pretty good tonight as Trae’s understudy?

Whole Milwaukee team has played with no effort, urgency, or purpose from the tip. Hawks came out and played for their playoff lives while the bucks played like it was a Tuesday night game in February.

Yes, he's having his requisite one good game per series right now.

I don't know who is who's understudy. Lou's been doing this since Trae was just getting hair in funny places (like his head) and discovering girls might not have cooties.

Pretty bad injury for Giannis. I have no clue who wins this series sans Giannis and Trae.

Will be the most bizarre Conference Finals in NBA history.

That was such a Kobe shot. Literally had flash backs.

Once again, the Bucks have been disappointing. 0 all stars on the Hawks right now. MIL still has Middleton and Holiday and they are getting blown out. This is their last chance at a ring

Jrue trade was objectively a mistake. Yes hes better than Bledose but that isn't the standard.

Bucks could have gone for a bigger fish with that many assets.

CP3 would have been the wiser move.
