I still can’t get over that call. That’s the worst call I’ve seen since the bubble playoff call against Giannis with no time left while lightly touching Jimmy’s hip.

What happened to marginal contact? That was the best rule change they implemented last year, and it seems like some crews completely forget it’s a thing.

That's true only in the sense they should be used situationally. See if Green is on in that particular game, otherwise don't play him the rest of it, like tonight. If Trent's revived, then it's going to greatly eat into Bird's minutes.

Same thing goes for Ajax, if he'll shoot when open & his d is required. Maybe then it's him or Rollins, whoever's playing better. But tonight was sort of the return of the vets. It might always be game-by-game & match-ups. Where a better coach would help.

It’s Giannis team. Start making the calls on Dame and test the market.

A.J. Green did not have a good game but he needs to study Pat Connaughton screen for Giannis so Pat can stay on the bench. He also needs to learn how to dribble so he can run PnRs like Pat and Trent jr. If he can learn that plus a push shot he'd have a long career because I think he will get smarter and stronger defensively.

Man, that really need to do something to turn this ship around and do right by Giannis. Guy plays his ass off Everytime he's out there. Find guys capable and willing to do the same.

Bucks had an elite 3 man lineup and the best 5 man lineup, both involving Dame last year. If you think they don't work then you are just objectively wrong

So they want us to fail to force us to move Giannis to a bigger market?

That Giannis mid-ranger looks so solid. It's like it's been his money shot his entire life.

Also, having GTJ look like a basketball player again makes a big difference.

This game right here is why you never trade Giannis you build around him if players don’t work you get new ones no one should be off the table but Giannis.

This team has an engine and his name is Giannis. That is still VERY clear. Watching Dame take a back seat is like looking into my dogs eyes when I leave for work. It’s not his makeup.

pat can actually attack the basket in traffic and pass off the dribble. exceptional by no means but he does it and does it frequently.

green doesnt appear like he has any dribble game whatsoever
