Dame is due for some end of quarter shots falling. Hopefully for us they come in some big playoff moments.

Luka was not expecting to be switched onto a bigger equally mobile defender.

Kpj does need the ball. Yet I think it would be good if he got more minutes, the bench ones as today plus a few minutes in the beginning of the game. He is young.

Right?
Fully ironic too, as Doncic pulls almost the exact same move constantly. He legit would not finish a game if that was called a foul each time, lol.

I like the rotation right now. Prince has not been bad at the two against the guards he has faced. Plus, the bench needs the energy injection that Porter Jr provides and he gets the ball in his hands more.

Remember when Gabe Vincent was a name we needed to fear.

Dame could get that almost everytime if he wanted. That's why I've been harping on his threes

Kind of funny how Kuzma was the headline trade.

But Sims and KPJ have had the big impact.

Would be ironic if we play the Knicks in round 1 and Sims ends up being our secret weapon defensively on KAT.

Dude shot nearly 43% on near 7 threes a game vs us in 2023 playoffs. The PTSD is real.

Come on, now. Sims isn't going to lock up KAT until we face the Knicks in the conference finals.

I think they are using Sims wrong right now. Go back to the high PnRs then run motion that lead to him screening on the wing for Lillard or Kuzma.

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.

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.


No shift in argument. The Bucks have two talented players.One is a superstar. After that, it's all role players.

You said this was a talented team. Team means more than two guys.

Feel like we haven't made a shot for a bit?

JJ Redick and Luka are made for each other, they spend the entire game whining

Always good to be up big on the Lakers late in the 4th, takes the refs out of the game.

Refs were really hoping to not have to call a foul and run the clock out there.
