Yes very strange about Green’s offense vanishing. My theory, I could be wrong, Green has lifted his defensive efforts a lot in order to become a regular part of the roster perhaps on the way to becoming a starter. He never used to put so much energy on defense earlier. I think this has messed with his smooth shooting ability, Just like Ajax becoming useless because of his poor offense, Green is on the border of being put into hibernation by Doc because of his new non existent offense.


Worth noting for all the struggles of late, he’s still 42% on the year. Shooters go through rough stretches.

How many assets will it take to get Kuzma off the roster?


His rebounding effort was horrendous tonight. After that laughable 360 piroutte layup he clanked, he gave up a wide open 3 to Booker and didn't even look back for the rebound. He cost the Bucks several of the Suns 14 offensive rebounds. And that's something he's supposed to be good at!

WYM, he's just following the role model of the greatest player of all time.

Could also be questioned if the 48% he shot through the first 2 months (18 games) was just an aberration and this "rough stretch" where he's been a 39% shooter since then is just who he is.

I hope he’s at least given some leash to find out. As I’ve been saying, it’s his first year of significant NBA minutes and I think he’s fatiguing down the stretch.

As the team departs the Valley of the Sun, site of the greatest play in Bucks history, just want to thank Bud and Jrue for their many contributions to that title.

And with their departures went the majority of our BBIQ as a team and organization.

We have a team full of okay bench guys. GTJ has to start. Kuz and TP just wasting space in the starting line-up. Kuz needs to be encouraged to shoot less. Much, much less. He also needs to not be the open guy at the 3 all the time. He never makes that shot, but he'll die trying to make it every single f'ing time.

KPJ needs to look for Giannis more.

1.7 should have ran that Indy spread play and just throw it to Giannis barreling down the court

Or we could refer to the larger sample, where he's over 41% for his career.

We played Brook Lopez almost 42 minutes in a game we could have easily tried to go small. It’s not like we are rebounding well playing our big lineups anyways.

Bucks lose in the first round again none of those three will be back

Even using the 41% number, sure that's fine, that would put his current "rough stretch" as missing 6 threes over the 46 game post November span.

Yeah way too many minutes. Tough to find the right balance because he was easily our most consistent and most reliable scorer and player after Giannis.

Brook is playing the most he’s played since coming to Milwaukee. We are begging for an injury with the way we are running him.

I notice the Kuzma Fan Club has gone silent as he quickly reveals the player he truly is and who most of us knew him to be. You can’t trade a smart, team first bucket getter for…whatever archetype you want to assign to Kuzma. It’s a team killing move, even without AJ included. Kuzma has no idea what he’s doing out there. He floats around on offense until he gets a wide open three, which he more often than not bricks. He effort on D and on the boards is gone. The kid was on his best behavior. Now he’s back to being a pouty player who actively makes your team worse.
