He was our leader on that end and he kept guys accountable when they made mistakes and kept them confident when they did well.

Or Bud was just a good defensive coach.

Both can be and are true.

I don't know how Horst is going to salvage this trainwreck of a bench but he better be working hard

Vets should learn the new plays and system faster.. the young guys can watch for a bit and 1 or 2 may be integrated as we go

Rotations are just not right yet either. What's with both Dame and Giannis playing over 19 minutes each to the half?

I hope we are open minded to moving Dame. I don’t see us winning a title with him.

They had a very good defense with Jrue off the floor tho. There's a lot more to it.

I hope it's coaching and we can get it fixed or this will end poorly

Tighten up the bench and get a big defender next to him in the backcourt and we’re grooving to our 2nd chip of the Giannis Era

Wilson: Is Bobby Portia the 3rd most important guy on this Bucks team?

I don't feel like looking up how many times Portland has scored 67 in a half, but it has to be close to a season high considering they only average 108 a game.

Also he gets so much credit for defense but he functioned well offensively too.. nice post ups and drives.. 2 way players are the hack of you can find them

In 5 of 7 playoff series, Jrue shot 41% or worse from the floor.

He never once shot 50%.

Is he taking more shots tightly contested? Where's the notable drop off in his shooting splits?

I agree. But what if he's saying that because he knows we might not be moving him? ESPN talking points and what not...
