PG Nuggets - Bucks Fall Short

Post #1 » by **MickeyDavis** » Thu Mar 27, 2025 3:15 am

I'll stipulate right off that Kuzma sucks, fire Horst etc.

7 guys in double figures.

Green back on track.

KPJ didn't shoot well but had 12/7/8

Rollins very good. He has a place in the rotation.

Brook very good.

Prince shot well.

Pat was solid.

Marques: "Ryan Braun"

Refs not giving a T was an admission they blew it.

It would have been easy to pack it in when down 15 early but we didn't.

Denver almost FAFO

Great effort, poor discipline.

I thought Jokic wasn’t playing, wish we could’ve stole this one.

That attempt by KPJ to get open down 6 with the ball in the half court was laughably bad and caused a turnover.

He was doubtful this morning, when Giannis was announced out he went to questionable and then played.

We may have just seen a preview of the 2025-26 team.

He changed his mind when he saw that Giannis was out...lol.

Kuzma and KPJ both had some really awful moments. Think if they were less spazzy we might have won.

Kuzma being borderline unplayable lately with AJJ showing some signs in Washington is a nice chef's kiss on this season from ol' Horsty boy.

Nuggets kind of suck. Just lost focus too much on defense down the stretch against smart offense. We could learn a little thing or two from the death by a thousand cuts offense. Good effort given the group out there. Jokic is hilariously bad on defense.

Good effort and some good experience for the fringe players. Doc rightfully hot about the no call on the foul on AJ Green. That play turned it into a Denver cover (if you bet it at 9.5) and cost the Bucks any chance at an outside shot at pulling this out.

Rollins could be a useful playoff piece.

good

Hopefully Green has turned the corner.

I can never root for a guy like Joker. Never even tried on D.

Aj Johnson looked good tonight . 9-5-6 with 1 to

Two very low IQ guys historically. Was bound to happen.

That trade is genuinely going to haunt me. AJ looks great. He was the first Bucks rookie in awhile that had me convinced. Poof. Gonna be fun watching his career in a masochistic kind of way.

Are we going to just release Giannis, Dame and Portis?

Problem is he is such a one trick pony.
