PG Sixers - Bucks Roll Without Connaughton

[jimmybones]

I think this is mainly the Kuzma we can expect going forward. An inefficient scorer(5/13 today), solid rebounder(8 boards), decent passer(5 assists), and somewhat turnover prone(3 turnovers)

Basically I think was a typical Kuzma game most nights

I thought he was actually a very good passer. I think he set up a lot of hockey assists that were key in creating open corner 3s. He also shot 2 end of quarter buzzer pressed shots (which I actually applaud him for taking instead of protecting his stats). I can't defend him being a little out of control going to the hoop, but it looked like sometimes he is going to yam on someone and will bring the juice. He has to work the Wizard possessions out of his game also. He is on a much better team and can't throw possessions away trying to take stepback 3s early in shot clocks.

Yeah, his shot selection can be frustrating but I was pleasantly surprised at how often he made the extra pass. He’s good at finding shooters when he gets it in the middle of the court. Could be nice when Dame and Giannis gravity are both out there

He's never played w/ Giannis still. Why doesn't Giannis being on the floor change the outlook a lot? Kuz would move to 3rd option, be compelled to create less, & get the higher % shots Giannis creates for just about everybody.

Plus, hopefully he'd get into better habits as he got further away from a tanking team, though this is not a given. Not going to purport it's ever been a strength, but it's recently been exacerbated for sure.

Good win. Lots of positive performances. Sadly, Brook continues to have his least impactful stretch as a Buck. We look much more energetic on both sides with Brook off

I wonder if his back is acting up or something

I thinks he's just huge old and overworked

[StickeeFingaz]

Time to pull the plug on the starting AJax experiment.

[jimmybones]

I could actually see Kuzma-Dame PNR becoming a deadly play. That slip pass to kuzma in the middle of the floor with Giannis weak side lob and shooters in each corner as an option. Kuzma seems to make good and quick reads from that spot. And he sets good screens

[emunney]

So many narratives so little time.

Dame doesn’t work with Giannis

Nurse <<< Doc

Embiid = empty stats

GTJ > Kobe

Embiid got rope-a-doped.

[Sigra]

Kuzma has to play without ball. Cuts and screens and then open shots/layups. At defense he is very good. Rebounding good. Passing good.

Doc has to eliminate ball dribling from his head and early contested shoots.

Always fun kicking their ass. Hope we have something left for tomorrow night. Hope the Super Bowl Sunday nightlife in Milwaukee kills the GSW

Shootingthej when the bucks signed trent you said that he was nothing more than a average replacement player level.Ypu are sooo wrong in fact i would say AJax is way closer to a replacement level player thsn trent is.Someone needs the balls to ask doc wtf is ajax still starting albeit only 13 mins.Trent was beasley lile tonight lol

I rather have him start then prince but once Giannis comes back
Dame
Trent
Kuzma
Giannis
Lopez
Would be my starters.
Trent has really turned his season around I think he’s earned another chance to start.

[ShootingtheJ]

It didn't feel like GTJ shot 7-20 today. Helps when all the makes are 3s.

[drew881]

Didn’t realize Hubie hasn’t called any games this year because he lost both his wife and son this year.

[Daver]

Solid win, any win without 34 is.

Every game moving forward that has Dre/Prince starting is coaching malpractice. It’s been that way for a minute but it’s getting especially ridiculous. It is beyond time Doc cut the **** and started the players that deserve to start.

Trent lost his job cause of his early season struggles yet he has turned it around 110% since thrn.Ajax has absolutely blown chow since hes in there yet doc doesnt bench him.i mean how the fu.. cant you like score EVER.his ass belongs on the bench it shoukd of been trents job to lose

[BigO]

Ajax shouldnt be starting because he doesn't bring the defense that was advertised.

Starting Prince is getting way too old. He doesn't have enough volume shooting to make a positive difference. When Giannis gets back, i'd consider a starting lineup of Kuzma, Giannis, BP, Dame and Trent.

Perhaps rotate Brook and BP depending on the matchups.

I like Green, but at some point he has to increase his volume of shooting or his efficiency is meaningless.

[Sigra]

And one more thing before I go to bad. When Giannis come back we will have interesting dilema. Kuzma is PF and Lopez need rest. Maybe start Giannis at C if he doesnt mind (maybe he does)

[Bernman]

If this site can't even handle the traffic during an event that's not in their main sport, they might want to think about selling.

[PG Graveyard]

That has to be a bitter loss for the Sixers. They had all their guys and they were still completely outclassed by the Bucks without Giannis.

[Bernman]

Hope we have something left for tomorrow night. Hope the Super Bowl Sunday nightlife in Milwaukee kills the GSW

There are no excuses. It doesn't require travel. Khris isn't around anymore. Theoretically he was replaced w/ a guy who's fine on back-to-backs, otherwise it part defeats the purpose. Plus Giannis is out anyway.

And we shouldn't play Brook against GSW's starting center regardless. Frankly, might want to think of a rest day for Brook's old body, let Bobby start v. Post, switch everything, & play a strong-bodied athletic Sims vs. Looney. Too flexible for Doc though.

volume scorer but must be respected at all times anywhere on the floor with the ball. he shifts defenses
solid rebounder and most importantly can rebound in traffic
decent and WILLING passer
standard turnover level for somebody trying to play make at his size
HUGE defensive addition capable of guarding 1-5 on ball somewhat effectively with size

hopefully he becomes a better team defender as it relates to rotations.....and with giannis on the floor becomes more efficient offensively

Fun ass win!
