Bucks are +22 with Khris on the floor according to cleaning the glass.

Just checked Mids per 36. 19.3/9.3./6.2. He has become such a great passer. Please stay healthy.

Just wish we had a similar piece in the front court lol. Like a 6'10" rangy athletic young dude would complete this team.


We have one, he’ll be ready next season

Quick thoughts:

1) The importance of keeping opposing guards out of the lane were on display last night. It not only helps limit paint points, but helps in rebounding. It's hard to believe that last year our two guard defenders were Lillard and Beasley. Not much better this year when it was Prince and Lillard.

2) It's also hard to believe that some on here wanted to trade for Ayo Dosumno. Sheesh.

Since guys like Cam J are unattainable without trading Brook or Midds the biggest trade I would make is something like Pat and a couple seconds for Kenrich Williams or Nesmith type player that pushes out Prince from the rotation. Honestly I might just play Pat again instead of Prince.

But Dame, 2 AJs, Midds, Giannis, Brook, GTJ, Rollins and another wing is a MONSTER rotation.
With Giannis dominance and Dame/Khris in the clutch I wouldn't take anyone over them in a series



Your BP disrespect is duly noted.
Portis, obviously, has been used to obtain "another wing ".

Tyler Smith says hi


I feel like we might have been targeting DaRon Holmes for this role and then Denver swooped in.

Brook Lopez coming off the books will open up opportunities. Isaiah Hartenstein and Goga Bitadze were free agents last summer and types like them would fit in nicely here if we can sign someone this summer.

Rollins rocking 16.3 pp36, 3.4 sp36, and a .597 TS so far. Just needs to cut down his turnovers a bit. Like that kid.

This was an important win. I'd even go so far as to characterize the last two games as "Bud wins". Entire team played as a team, and efficiently disposed of bottom feeders.

Feeling very good right now. Middleton has to stay healthy though or we're screwed.

Nobody could use some Bud wins more than Bud!

**** me, my bad. I put him in initially ofc, but as I was thinking about Pat from the sentence before I put Pat in as well and then when I noticed, deleted Pat and somehow caught Bobby as well. :lol:

My apologies, love Bobby

That was such an impressive win. Khris has somehow gotten better with age. He’s now more cerebral. He’s got this old man Ginobili game, which involves more running the offense. He’s a Bucks legend. Really hope he can stay fit.

Doc has this team rounding into form. We looked really good without our star players. This team is giving me underrated Miami Heat vibes from the last few seasons. Except we have Giannis and Dame to take over in crunch time.

He’s great. Seems like one of those guys where everything he does affects the game in a positive way.

It's hard to overstate how smart Khris is on the floor, he sees the game at a fundamental level that just takes decades of experience to hone. He is in that 00's-10's Spurs mold where he is playing chess while others playing checkers. He can be absolutely cooked athletically but still be useful because of his length/skill/smarts. Awesome player and so proud he is ours

I really like him too, wanted him on our team for awhile, but you can see he's still developing as a PG. He was a SG in college, and was wasted playing SG on the Herd while TyTy played PG. He still needs work as a playmaker, but he's worth the wait.

Bulls have actually had a similar net rating to us over the last 10 games, this is a good win.

I've been pretty convinced for a while now that every win is good and every loss is bad.
