PG Memphis - Bucks Fade

Insane Doc left Brook out there as it got worse and worse. Dame was not interested tonight and Giannis only cared about scoring.

We in trouble.

Dame and Brook were pathetic. Brook is just too slow, he can't control that. Dame simply looked like he didn't want to be here. No fire, no leadership.

Giannis, Middleton, and Green were the only positives.

I'm sad. I don't know what that was. Yet another game we had in our control that just slid away with lazy D and poor discipline on offence.

For a former DPOY Giannis can be very disinterested in defense.

Bobby Portis fixes nothing with team, guys. Come on. This team is fundamentally flawed. Been that way for a while actually.

Dame, Khris and Lopez could not function in the clutch. Turnover after turnover after turnover.
Khris had a nice game otherwise. Dame and Lopez not so much.
Giannis and Green carried, Ajax should play more minutes, Gary Trent Jr cannot shoot again and Rollins seems in a slump.

Don’t tell half the board this. His scoring and rebounding would’ve been a difference maker tonight. We all know he isn’t a good positional defender. That’s not the only aspect of basketball that matters.

You're not making the right argument. We need another rebounding big, but Bobby is not the answer. Turnstile defense won't win us games.

If we had another rebounding big that was good on D it would be a difference tonight. Bobby's points weren't the issue tonight.

I'm in but only if we fire Horst as step one.

“He boxes out for his teammates.”

Time for him to box out for a whole new roster.

This sums up most of the season.

I said it the other night, but with the exception of the cup game vs the Thunder. I am not sure the Bucks overall effort level hasn't been anything above a 6 out of 10 all season.

I admit that Bobby doesn't fix all that ails the Bucks, but I hope some posters learn something from BP's absence:

1) Rebounding matters and BP is excellent rebounder. And no, there are no fake rebounds.

2) Defensive rebounding IS part of defense, which was part of Bud's philosophy and which I agree.

3) Brook can't rebound.Yes, some of it has to do with blocking out, but you can block out and get a rebound. It's not against the rules.

Bobby is a very important part of the regular season rotation. What he gives you at his price point is fine. The problem has always been his ballstopping on offense and lack of rim protection. The bigger problem is that he and Brook are our only bigs on the damn roster... and they are both situational at best. When one is out, the other's flaws are magnified. They both need to go, just from a playstyle perspective. It doesn't play in the postseason.

You can cash in on another All-Star Dame season right now. Would be the 9th biggest story in the NBA this week.

Keep Khris. Get Robert Williams if possible. We need a defensive center bad.

Portis doesnt jump or boxes out for his life he just gets in better position, comparing to brook isnt the goal. Put any defensive Big and see how much they will shine rebounding.

Brook just simply cant.

Fire Doc step two. Trade anyone but Giannis. Step 3. Old and slow lose again.
