Just a poor night on offence. We had so many chances down the stretch and couldn’t make it happen. Ugh.


Khris would have been out anyway

The Bucks thought that would claw back to win a 5 th one. Didn’t happen unfortunately. But truly Dame and Kuz were so bad. Terrible long distance shot selection by Dame at a crucial point.

Dame just needs to learn the, "even if he's open, he's not open" lesson regarding Kuzma late in games.

Feels like Kuzma has been on his best behavior so far. I would expect a lot more games like this in the future unfortunately. His lack of efficiency is going to really come into play down the stretch.

Doc running that Kuz plus bench mob for 4-5 straight minutes to start the 4th absolutely killed us.

Kuzma and KPJ have been very good. Tonight they weren't. Maybe some thought they'd never have a bad game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Also, I understand why KPJ didn't play down stretch. I didn't call for him to but this he plays 6-8 min stretches well into the game and solely at Pg **** is not going to help him get into a rythym at all.

It's also not going to help us develop the tertiary playmaker this team WILL need if they want to do anything in the playoffs.

Especially after he comes up with the two most clutch defensive plays on b2b plays. And he was hitting most of his FTs. We can say what we want about his warts but in a tight game I trust him more than anyone. For him not to get action run through him is outlandish.

Doc needed to have put Prince in for his shooting on those offensive possession to end the game.

Overall, I'm not that upset because of the defense played. The open shots did not fall and the new guys had their worst offensive game. I don't count Sims offense because he is a dependent on the passer but he set good screens on offense.

I know Gianni’s was pissed but wouldn’t show up his teammate. I feel we would’ve won if dame would’ve gotten it to Giannis instead of thinking he had to shoot the ball because it was dame time. That’s why Gianni’s fouled so quickly because he was frustrated

Damn wants to win, but only if he is the hero.

If Dame plays like this we can't beat anyone good, that's the bottom line.

11 minutes for KPJ is coaching malpractice, despite the iffy shot selection.

Kuz is Kuz. He worked damn hard on some of those defensive possessions.

We had our shots. They didn’t go down tonight

Shot selection was just pathetic in the 2nd half. Team still is brain dead with that and dumb turn overs.

The same unit that had the run that won is the Heat game?
