We've had inside position on a ton of rebounds that half and been beaten to the ball. Effort not good enough.

Why try and run an offense in 13 seconds when you can shoot a 3 everyone knows you're gonna shoot that clanks off the front rim?

I’m not sure how we’re only down three. We looked disgusting.

Kuzma solid 13/6/2 and 2 steals.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Bucks are playing very good defense when they do get back.

Poorly managed, low i.q., effort team, w/ mediocre athleticism, & skill. There's nothing we can hang our hat on right now. This is incredibly uninspiring basketball. We needed to show more in this 2-game stretch before it really gets tough. We haven't.

Again, firing Doc is the last card to play, & it seems this F.O. doesn't have the stones. Going down w/ the ship.

It is inexplicable how often we don't crash the boards and still struggle to get back in transition.

Brutal half but only down 3, let’s see what happens in the second half.

it isnt that dame stinks because of course he doesnt....he just isnt as impactful as wed have hoped is the better description. all guys have their moments but that doesnt alone make you a difference maker.

i also think hes kind of matchup dependent offensively now too. hes lost a step on blowbys which makes it so he can be defended in space.

Opposing fans say Giannis game is boring. I think Joker's game is boring.

Not talking about him as a player. For instance Duncan was boring at times, but he's the best PF ever. I've always enjoyed watching players like Shaq dominate, so maybe I'm just different.

the only time dame time makes sense is when down 3+ with limited time left. Otherwise, it's a horrible shot and Paul George was right that we are just resulting when it goes in.

He's better on a team where everyone else defense and sets picks for him. He would've been better in Miami for sure.

Swap Dame for 2 solid role players.

Swap Doc for coach who the game didn't pass by 2 decades ago. And the Bucks would be in the mix for a top #3 seed seed right now.

The Bucks actually have a pretty solid team IMO.

Much better than the #6 seed that they are likley to be. The Bucks should be a top #3 seed. Doc and Dame are anchors that are dragging us down to the #6 seed.

The Brook 2 man game was working early with Dame and Giannis, I would go to that more. Put pressure on Jokic inside and a body on him for the rebounds. Brook at 35 feet isn't even in position to get back off a Jokic outlet and I think that killed us a few times.

BTW, Green's problem was that he was funneling to big man help that was too concerned with DeAndre Jordan. Sims has got to trust that the next rotation will come. Maybe it won't but first things first.
