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

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


It's not a back-to-back. Missed very few non back-to-backs since his return. Just played. Cheap And 1 ploy.

It was a joke.

Giannis was wide open in the paint on that shot attempt.

Classic Bucks. Pass up the wide open dunk with actual time to go for a quick 2 and then do it with 8 seconds and no TOs where you know you'll get fouled. Backwards.

Some of the shots were bad selections. That's the meat of the 4th. The decision making was bonkers.

Like Brooks 30 footer to tie the game? Horrible. Or people shooting well contested shots? Just too much iso ball in the 2nd half.

Cut GTJs mins. Green plays within himself and fights hard on D. Prince/Green/GTJ are kind of redundant.

I think Doc should stagger Kuz and KPJ. They should not share the floor for a lot of minutes. Let KPJ sub for Kuz to play the 2 and then move to the 1 after Dame subs out. Kuz can come back late in the 1st to sub in for Giannis like he already does.

He can't shoot, score efficiently or create for others. Bucks have just had no one who can guard respectively up to the 4 beside Giannis since PJ left, so I guess he has that going for him at least?


The standards for what is “very good” have dipped substantially since the trade lol. Teams with championship hopes aren’t relying on him to be a third option. Kuzma has been good on defense and pretty mediocre in pretty much any other part of the game. The defense is all a lot of posters choose to focus on.


As the kids would say there's quite a bit of copium huffing on this board.
That's GOLD, Jerry! Gold!

Nah. Both play good D.. In fact KPJ is very good at creating for himself. Hard to redeem yourself in 11 minutes

Dame shot 7-22 with just 3 assists. That was the game.

Not bitter, but I think you see the diff in games like tonight against good defences. Midds has that competency against good defences that Kuz doesn’t. But I accept the flip side of Kuz at least playing and certainly being a lot more athletic.

Not having Midds against the stronger defences is gonna put a load on Dame that worries me. But yeah, I get it’s better to have a warm body on the court than in street clothes on the bench.

Talking about Kuz... he makes some great drives, but he has to know if he has a clear dunk/layup or if a late help
defender is coming flying for the block from out of position.. go strong if it's clear, if it's not, change the speed so he can't time his jump.. the smoothest dude at this was..... anyone have a guess? He was a Buck and a Net - Richard Jefferson -- it was very subtle but his stutter step would mess up the blockers timing and they would jump too early or not at all of their feet got tangled..

We got good Kuz for the first 4-5 games. This game we got the bad Kuz. I guess I’ll take that ratio all things considered.
