Game 65: Lakers at Bucks - 3/13/25 - 6:30 - TNT

Time to try new things. Porter is hit and miss, but he has talent. Sit Prince. Sit Kuzma.

I know they don't want to play two ball dominant guys together. But I'm playing KPJ and Dame together

Also Doncic's stats as a Laker so far: 24/8/8 on 40/32/74.
Tonight, in 19 minutes his stats are: 29/7/2 on 60/55/75.

Of course he chooses to go off against us...

A ton of talent? Giannis, Dame and who????

Yep, with a better coch this team would be so much better.

KPJ, Brook turning back the clock, Trent the shot maker. Sorry you’re not good at gauging talent level of teams.

I’m really surprised we have just abandoned Rollins altogether after signing him. Such a weird Bucks move. Not saying this solves anything

There's a reason that many of the guys we got ended up being available. The league has shifted to where the very good teams have a high concentration of dudes who are athletic and can shoot, dribble, pass and consistently make good decisions.

Let's clock in with the Bucks additions on those dimensions:

Kuzma: Athletic yes, Shoot no, Dribble not really, pass kinda, good decisions, no.
Sims: Athletic yes, Shoot no, dribble no, pass no, good decisions meh
Trent: Athletic not especially, Shoot yes, dribble kinda, pass not great, good decisions sort of

KPJ: Athletic yes, Shoot it's complicated but there's definitely hope, dribble yes, pass for the most part, good decisions he's al over the place

so there you go.

i think Doc is just done playing guys who can't consistently hit a 3 unless they provide size and athleticism.

No need to apologize.

If this team has a ton of talent, then what do OKC, Boston, Cleveland, Denver and several other teams have? No need to answer.

We can at least agree we differ on talent evaluation.

I think you'll see variable lineups w/o those two, same as w/o D & G recently, but basically only bc Prince Trent & Green have settled in somewhat, for ex hitting 11 threes tonight, Prince has been finishing at the rim and his 3 started to fall

Giannis harm and the foul and the crowd can't even muster up a peep. Just insane.

Giannis created space for that last shot but touch not there sadly.

You're shifting the argument from "the Bucks are talented but flawed" to the "Bucks are not one of the best 4 teams in the league". Those are completely different conversations.
