Game 33: Pacers at Bucks - 1/1/24 - 7:00 - BSWI

[RiotPunch]

Bobby had several in and out shots. But those who want to trade him should let us know who will provide bench points if he's gone?

There's a difference between *wanting* to trade Bobby and realizing he is our best asset to move for a viable closing wing defender type, which is more important than a bench spark. In theory, Beas becomes the bench bucket guy.

Beasley can't create his own shots. He is a spot up shooter.

[Milbucks96]

I can’t defend Pat anymore

[mediocrityrules]

2nd chance points 14-0 in favor of the Pacers.

[GrandAdmiralDan]

Not sure the Bucks gave proper consideration to whether or not they should have their halftime act be a fitness group of kids called "Sweatshop Movement".

He can a little bit, but yeah mostly spot up, he can still get looks and knock down shots off the bench.

Bingo. You win the prize. The idea that Beasley would get the same shots coming off the bench is wishful thinking, not based in reality. As is the idea that getting some magic defender that will make up for the loss of BP's points and rebounds.

Off the bench the other team can pay more attention to him. Right now they worry more about Dame and Giannis which allows Beasley to hit shots.

[Matches Malone]

Does anyone ever ask Giannis why he takes so long at the line? It's obnoxious.

[SupremeHustle]

That was special, Khris.

Edit: ...Special K?

[randy84]

Nice play Mids. That was awesome.

It's so frustrating because it's something that should never, ever happen. I just hope he changes it up now he's been called on it.

It would make more sense to me if it magically turned him into an 80% shooter but he's still the same guy. Don't really get why he lets it be a thing.

[Profound23]

What a play by Khris

[mediocrityrules]

Nice play Mids. That was awesome.

Unbelievably, just the second offensive board tonight, and our first second-chance points of the night.

Ten-plus seconds, and then the eight or so before he even accepts the ball. I don't get it.

Which requires smart minutes staggering from Grief. Beas can get looks off of all three of Giannis/Dame/Khris. With Dame playing the entire 1st quarter and Giannis coming out midway, he can still get most of his minutes with one or two of the big 3. I just think the offense will still be elite, the perimeter D needs a boost.

[Siefer]

Dear Bench, don't **** it up this time.

The extra time always puts a weird hitch in his timing and he ends up leaning forward and sending the ball on a straight line to the rim.

Imagine thinking Brook is the problem
