How does AJJ not get off the bench in a game where nobody was playing any defense?

If Jordan Poole didn’t go to my high school I would refuse to believe he was a real person. Basketball comedy

AJ got some minutes, but 0-3 from deep.

He immediately switches everything and puts us into terrible mismatches, jogs to the rim getting back in transition often leaving guys unmarked and loses guys on the perimeter regularly because he starts ball watching. For a few minutes every game, he turns it on defensively and goes to a different level. I don't want him to expend more energy defensively the rest of the time, I just want him to make better decisions!

This is the one that bugs me the most. He genuinely looks lost out there for a large chunks of possessions.

Yea, I don't get this at all

I think he's made one shot since Lisa gave him that awful nickname, trying to one-up me. Stay in your lane, Byington.

Really like the rotation of Giannis getting multiple breaks each half along with Dame the entire Q1.

And two of the missed free throws we got back including an immediate tip in.

Tonight was one of the worst nicknames, with Pat 'straight outta' Connaughton

I enjoyed watching Coulibaly a lot, he looks really promising

Now just move Beas to the bench and increase the minutes for Dre and AJ.

Way less 3's and deep shots for Giannis since my Giannis post

....

Way more Dame/Giannis as 1st and 2nd handlers since my post about that

Who is the assistant coach in here reading these and passing ideas?

Not a complaint -- great stuff

He was bothering Dame. So Dame just deferred to Giannis who they had no chance of stopping.

It's him or Julius Randle

Call me crazy but Beas would look pretty darn good as a permanent heat check from the bench. Get him in, if he's cooking, give him more run. When he's clanking (or just missing all his assignments and rotations), get him back on the pine.

Midds put a hip into a dude on D and didn't let him past or score in the 4th

Great stuff lg!

Name me one Bucks player that wasn’t getting cooked up tonight on D? Lol

If I wasn't a Bucks fan, I would be having nightmares at the thought of having to face a team with Giannis and Dame in the final 5 minutes of a close game.

Good thing I'm a Bucks fan...lol.

But he wasn't making shots either.
