PG Minny - Great Win!

[Chad34]

Literally not one nice thing said about Brook in almost 4 pages. Shame!

Hopefully doc gives sims a few minutes next game

[Dick Tate]

Very entertaining game. Weird watching a team play well without a go-to-guy. I curse AJ, then he delivers. Kudos!

Porter is going to be the starter from this point forward. I feel dirty. Here we go!

[engelmartin]

who shut down Ant Man?

No one did he just sucked

Was solid enough d by KPJ the last time down. Ill make him shoot a 3 for the win everytime in that situation

Pretty wide open but I’ll take it

[Bernman]

Honestly KPJ and Kuzma aren’t looking like bad acquisitions. Small sample size but Khris was cooked physically and these guys can at least move.

But why not put them around the core, that included Middleton. As it was, statistically the Bucks were considerably better w/ him on the court. What would it have been w/ legs around him/them?

It's not somehow a positive we didn't have anyone out there to orchestrate a functional offense. 4 out of the last 5 games were mediocre or worse offensive efficiency games.

[Willie Colon]

19/13/4 for Kuzma. 11/8/5 for KPJ in 22 minutes. Solid D and clutch shots from both. I'm actually shocked that Doc went with KPJ in crunch time. It was the right call.

[fansinceforever]

GTJ was incredible too

[MickeyDavis]

Damn, looks like my Dame comment is going to have the Dame fan boys going to bed crying tonight....lol.

Your thread crapping schtick is predictable and tired. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Wonka]

The speed factor from Kuzma and KPJ was evident tonight.

Kuz is going to be so frustrating. It's night and day the difference between him and Midds athletically and I think he can be an asset defensively, but on offense it's just dribble pullups to an inefficient jumper or a wild pass. Like if he attacked the hoop he'd be incredible.

This is where I am at. His IQ and decision making leave a lot to be desired 90 percent of the time and I think it would be foolish to ignore that...but he is giving a ton of effort and he is an athlete. Just not a very good fit.

This is exactly how I feel and couldn’t have said it better.

[Baddy Chuck]

Good win.

[ShootingtheJ]

Benching Rollins for KPJ was key

Rollins spotting KPJ a 14 point lead was key. Rollins got Edwards out of rythm mid 1st quarter after Ajax left and changed the game.

[Daver]

This game was a great case study in +/-

Rollins was a +14

Porter Jr was a -12

But we don’t win that game without KPJ.

Thats why the majority of this board other than shootingtheJ says +/- mean nothing kpj was much much more valuable than fu... rollins

[Wonka]

I put the odds of Doc inserting KPJ into the starting lineup after one good game at 0%. This is Doc Rivers—the guy who has been starting TP and Ajax religiously.

[MickeyDavis]

Assuming Giannis is back next week it will be interesting to see how the new guys are assimilated into the rotation. I'm just hoping it's not another "he's close" for the next month.

[WeMajor34]

The Kuz experience is going to wear this board out.

Very meh game from a historically meh player.

Not gonna deny that he helped tonight though.

He needs more than one good game. He'll get his shot at more minutes. The fact that Doc went with him over Rollins in crunch time was positive.

Indeed.

speed and the size. defensively and on the boards its going to be a huge addition. i know minnesota shot poorly but it was obvious on alot of those shots and in the lane they were getting bothered more than what im used to watching around here.

Idk... there was a dude in Ant's face on ALMOST every jumper he took. When he went inside he did miss some close flips he should have made.. we did too though.. credit the D for those nice early closeouts that made them rush as the game went on.. like Boston always did to us.. later we'd be open and still rush because of the early closeouts in our head still... that was Rollins, Kuz, Prince.. all of them were up there with hands in the face and quick feet

[Daver]

Yeah kuz and kpj showed a lot on D and athleticism today

Still think trent should be the 2 starter but seeing doc doesnt see it it should be then kpj as the starting 2.Trent needs to be back in there
