[SupremeHustle]

Dang. Why'd that announcer put Dame on blast like that? lol

Khris bailing us out bigtime there.

RUN CLOCK MAN WHY ARE WE PUTTING UP SHOTS WITH 15 SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK

yeah, I never really understood this when you are up 15 with less than 7 min. basically running off 40 seconds RT means the other team basically has to hit every single shot

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

I care. He's been great when playing team ball. His quick threes or forcing shots well before the shot clock ends won't work in the playoffs.

It's up to the coaches to get him to be as efficient as possible. It matters in the playoffs, maybe not aganst the Wizards.

his defensive versatility playing 40 minutes a game in the playoffs is what you have to focus on here instead of the other insignificant weaknesses of his offensive game. hes gonna go 40 mpg with 13/8/4 lines on meh efficency but its his defense and energy and his minutes that is going to make the difference

I don't disagree that his defense will be important if he locks in, but the Bucks don't have a lot of offense and if he's the third wheel on offense (who else would it be?), being efficient will be critical in the playoffs.

he creates some gravity...theres a bit of a fall off from khris but its worth the tradeoff.

in the playoffs it was always going to be between dame/giannis....brook/kuzma/trent/green/kpj....we have others than can step up. and were deep with shooters. when we need a bucket its going to be the dame and giannis show tho. we always knew that. in some ways this simplifies things

[blazza18]

Khris got the message. Tank job.

[tsamo]

Poole straight up grabbed and held Kpjr and nothing was called...
What is this ****?

[Chad34]

Good shot khris

[blazza18]

Ok him forcing a jump ball and winning it is bull ****.

Calls go with the energy. If you start running doodoo offense and throwing garbage at the hoop, the officials become less inclined to bail your bad play out.

not exactly

[fansinceforever]

Very lucky we got bailed out there

[fan230]

If we win: Thanks a lot, Brook! L

[MickeyDavis]

One stop

But that was not a bad play, this was a stupid foul by Poole that was not called in the middle of the floor.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

cool we actually ran some clock

[Chad34]

Don’t like that shot there from kuzma

[trublu]

What was that ****??!?

Sent from my SM-S916B using RealGM mobile app

[blazza18]

Kuzma has been a bit of a **** show on offence. Needing him to be a smarter player come playoff time is going to be a challenge.

[fan230]

Brook. Good. kuz bad attempt at a shot. Pass to Brook

[ReasonablySober]

Get to the damn hoop, Kuz.
