2 tough losses
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Hopefully Doc realizes that this team is actually functional when it plays youth. More AJax and Green and less Wright and Prince.

What I get from this game is that if you want to easily beat Dame you just need to throw a double team at him and he completely comes undone.

On the one hand, they're competing with the best or second best team in the East without two major rotation players.

On the other hand, the team is 1-6 and Bobby Portis will continue to get minutes for this team.

Ik his statline looks nice but Bobby is destroying this team. He is constantly calling iso's for himself and making egregious turnovers, we already know what he does to team defense

Could easily be 3-4 but Doc and this team don’t deserve that game.

Bonus points if you catch him at half court.

Definitely felt like they were 3/3 on late quarter traps forcing turnovers

It's really too bad we had to have that game, because I'd have been happy with the competitiveness otherwise.

Game was lost on those two possessions where Dame and Dairy completely screwed up on D, and Garland got himself free.

This was a fool’s gold game if you are thinking we can turn the corner by just playing the young guys more. Yeah, it was great to see Ajax and Dairy have impact, but they aren’t nearly enough.

Why did brook stand literally under the hoop and let garland get two layups? I know he was trying to stop lobs but sitting under the hoop?

AJ green on Garland is indefensible. At least young guys gave us energy. Reminded me of the old days when I would cheer for our crappy teams but atleast we tried hard.

I'm not blaming Dame, but when he comes in at the end, offense went to crap where everyone just expects him to go one on one every possession.

Our big men suck.

Hopefully Prince and especially Trent see their PT diminish

Next game with the Jazz at home is exactly what this team needs right now. That and Green/Hollins taking all of the SG minutes and Bobby setting screens or standing in the corner and less iso.

Call me pessimistic if you want.

But the Bucks I believe are now 20-29 under Doc Rivers if you include the playoffs.

In all seriousness good effort short handed, still rooting for losses and rooting for change. Pathetic ending is typical which is why I called them Clowns…

I mean somebody has to come to the ball. It was like the other guys have never seen Dame play. Very slow to recognize the double team.

Better game than I thought it would be. GTJ, Prince, and Wright can all move to the bench. I'm still on board for trading Bobby and Brook.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
