Was curious to see how he was doing so far this year… and apparently he hasn’t left the bench yet.

So that later season buyout isn’t out of the question lol.

I would feel a lot more comfortable seeing Theis come off the bench right now. I kow PP and Sam are going to get going sooner or later but I think Luke is who he is. I'm hoping for a bounce back game for PP and Sam tonight.

they did fine with the starters. they stunk against deep wiz bench. they don't need a bounce back, just hit some shots. they aren't going to get many shots, they have to learn just like all other bench guys on contenders, you have to do with what you get. Look back to most past champs, there was a guy who came up huge after getting short minutes during the regular season. Joe needs to trust that they can do that because he didn't last season. Pritch has that KP range, I want him to get comfortable, we need him.

that's not deep and deep at the same time. if everyone has a great matchup how is it wrong for whoever has the ball to take it? it's tough but hopefully, they'll figure it out. over-passing and under-passing will need to be figured out through chemistry. like they all keep saying, just have to go with the hot hand and realize it's not going to be your time every game, gotta do other things and be okay with that. Ray did just that by changing up his game. We need a few Rays and it could be a different guy each night.

Not a fan of 7:30 games honestly. I think the extra 30 minutes is kinda pointless.

Raptors schooling the Bucks.

As expected, the Bucks now very ordinary on defense without Jrue.

When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go. Nothing is impossible. The word itself says 'I'm possible!’ There is nothing impossible for those who will try. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. You define your own life. Don't let other people write your script. Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put some sunglasses on. During our darkest moments, we must focus to see the light. Believe you can and you're halfway there.

Yeah, but the Bucks really soft on defense now.

The Bucks were very good on defense in the past with Jrue.

Has Porzingis won every single tip off jump ball so far?
