PG Washington - Bucks Hang On For 3rd Straight Win

[MickeyDavis]

I'm not seeing a place for AJJ in the rotation

[MickeyDavis]

Contract starting at 120% of his current salary, or an exception.

What exceptions do we have to work with?

Could be the fill MLE, but there's a lot of moving parts.

I don't think KPJ has much of a market with his history. He's in the same spot as last offseason.

You could be right. 1/3 of a season may not be enough given his track record.

The bandaid has already been ripped off. A team signed him, then another team traded for him. If he plays well he's gonna get paid.

Last shot by Khris was hilarious. Did he think there was 1 second left and not 4?

Unlike you, he realized he'd have been fouled if he didn't get that up quick. And he's made that often. Didn't have the legs to turn.

No evidence the Bucks were planning on fouling. Horrendous shot with that much time left — literally so bad that it has people asking if he missed on purpose.

Kuz is gonna give me an aneurysm by season’s end.

Yeah, you can see how much finally having an athletic combo forward helps us, but we created a bunch of new problems in the process. Kuzma’s shot hunger is one of them.

[ReasonablySober]

A month ago the Bucks were old, slow, and unathletic. It's wild how quickly this team flipped.

Has done himself no favours on either end. Doc is right to put him in the doghouse.

His 1st 2 teams gave up draft capital to get him off their team, and then he was traded for Marjon. He had issues at USC. He reportedly had issues overseas. He burns bridges like he's Sam Houston.

Yup, we've won back to back games by being quicker to the ball.

That's new, and fun.

Maybe, but he averaged 19 ppg for Houston. Then he put up monster numbers overseas, including 3.5 steals and 2 blocks per game.

There's very few teams with cap space, and enough don't even have an exception.

This could end up like another Portis situation.

We lose this game with Dame. We needed all the defense we played. There was no room to be a little worse, and we're worse with Dame.

We struggled on offence against one of the worst teams in the league. His efficient 25 would've been a godsend in this one.

And we would have given up way more, like always. We weren't getting an efficient 25 anyway, he would have looked like last night.

Lol Dame doesn’t play that bad of D come on man the reason we lose games we just miss shots we shouldn’t or we get out rebound with kuzma now that helps a lot on rebounding. Once we are healthy especially our two best players this team can compete against anyone.

[MVP2110]

You guys are 4 pages in and only a glancing reference to Ryan Rollins. I know everyone is enamored with the new toys but Rollins was awesome tonight. 15/4/4 with 3 steals and was +12

We're almost 10 points per 100 worse defensively with Dame on the floor. That's a massive number, and more than he helps the offense.

Now, almost all of those numbers were compiled without us having KPJ as the alternative.

Some of you need to atone for your Brook Lopez blasphemy over the past two years.

I remain highly skeptical this will last. Wait until the ASB rest wears off. That said it's nice to see him string together some really good performances.

Definitely. He was bad to start and great the rest of the way.

Agree. Impact defender. His 3 ball had been off for weeks, but he made 2 tonight, so hopefully that's the start of a turn around.

Brook got eaten up by Sarr again. Sarr would be rookie of the year if he faced Brook every night. The Bucks defense was at its best with Sims in 2 nights in a row.

[ShootingtheJ]

Jericho Sims has played 35 minutes as a Buck, and has yet to attempt a shot. Teams give him real attention as a roll man though.
