So this is what the Bucks look like when Khris Middleton is playing.

Porzingis is the only player rested for this and he's not a good matchup against the Bucks. They're just as long and not built like toothpicks.
For reasons beyond my comprehension, we didn't save Horford for this matchup to at least slow down Giannis.

They're not even trying on defense. Just bring in the bench and let the starters sit this one out.

I’m sick of seeing Holiday with the basketball in his hands.

33 point defecit, Joe needs to play guys who didn't play last night. Sit and rest everyone else.

But this is what this team is honestly. When they can't hit threes they lose.
I mean you can’t keep any game close when you don’t score for 10 minutes. Just pack it in tonight

Just 4 straight points on a 30+ point lead and the Bucks coach calls a timeout. Joe should be taking notes.

Bucks offense is too good to give up this lead. If they do not cut it to under 20 by half you need to rest guys in the 2nd half.

Girffin is not a smart coach. Calls timeout with a 29 point lead. The last thing he wants to do is give tired legs who played 40 minutes last night an extra break. Stupid timeout.

Time for Joe to play his bench and give the starters the rest of the night off (even though there are 7 minutes left in the 1rst Half).
Down 29. Reality check. Best use of resources.

Think that says more about how much his teams defence frightens him.
If we could just make a couple of shots we could get back in this.
The Bucks give up endless amounts of good shots.

Holiday and white need to **** play better. Tatum has been ass today but he was cooking the other games. Those two need to be better. Porzingis and brown look fine whenever they are in but the Tatum, holiday, and the 3 bench lineup didn’t give one crap out there.

Seriously. If he's not good enough to see the floor over Kornet against a physical / long matchup then why is he even on the roster?
