PG: Passing The Bucks

[Guano]

Every morning when I open my eyes and take my first breath I immediately thank the gawds I get to root for a team with OG on it.

Will be very interesting to see how much of the good play from OG and Mikal is retained when JB comes back

[kNicksGmen]

bucks do seem like they would be the easier matchup by far for us to face.

still not set in stone but seems likely it will be knicks in the 3rd seed and bucks 6th.

maybe shameful to say but i definitely would want to avoid the pacers not because i don't think knicks could win, but the potential for losing to them again would be awful. losing to the pistons would suck too but at least they're an impressive young team etc

losing to bucks would be embarrassing but i would favor knicks like 3 to 1 in that series where as the other 2 are toss ups imo

great win by Thibs with no Brunson Payne or McBride

Won 3 of the last 4

Stay home Brunson, we got this

Also Giannis sucks

If they want to get some mo then the next two games vs. PORT & PHIL are a good opportunity to get ready for CLE

We are 3 games up in 3rd with 9 games left so we need to beat the last couple easy teams left if we want a prayer of hanging on to it

9 games left with three B2Bs with travel. Who makes the schedule? Need to go 5-4 at least.

knicks have the tiebreaker too so technically up 4. far from locked up and pacers have been very hot but knicks should be able to hold on depending on when brunson comes back. also cavs/celtics likely to be resting guys those last few games with their seeding locked up (doesn't mean they still won't beat us though)

the schedule really is bad. not just the back to backs but so often one team is on the 2nd night of a B2B traveling and the home team is on 2 days rest. complete competitive disadvantage and i've seen it so many times. I get it is complex but they should absolutely be able to avoid that. teams ideally on a B2B should both be on one or the make it the away team that isn't.

i remember last year down the stretch i was following the magic closely for seeding and they played the warriors who were on a B2B and 3rd game in 4 days where as magic were at home on 3 days rest and only 2nd game in 6 days. stuff like that should never ever happen. magic lost though

just happened to the cavs too. 2nd night of a back to back after playing the spurs yesterday. they play the pistons tonight who were at home and had not played since Tuesday. why?

Mikal > Kuz

does anyone actually think otherwise...I would really question what they are watching. Its not even close to be honest.

[mpharris36]

Kolek with a nice +18

in only 17 mins is a thibs special

but the offense was running smoothly with him in. Wright had some good momentus early but he is really not a PG/shot creator. He doesn't turn it over and can initiate some offense but in terms of breaking down the defense and decision making Wright isn't there.

He helps with defense though.

[mpharris36]

Mikal was great early

OG was fantastic in the 2nd half

Hart energy turned the game on both ends (even though he threw up a couple UFO's)

Got solid PG player

Shamet actually contributed

As much as I think thibs limits this team...thankfully we don't have to deal with Doc...he's gotta be one of the worst coaches out there.

[Spandau]

Bucks fans leaving Fiserv early was a beautiful sight.

Thankfully I only live a few blocks away so I stayed and chatted with some of the Knick fans. We had a blast.

When OG is on, he’s so dynamic…just unreal.

Well we have a lot of guys in the starting lineup who can initiate offense so we really just needed a bus driver but Delon decided to come in and set the tone and get buckets anyway. Pretty good game

The pacers also have a super easy schedule

[Adelheid]

kolek's passing game seem to have awakened OG and mikal and the rhythm lingered even if the boy is sitting and not playing along with them

rhythm helps a ton, dawg

[Clyde_Style]

I'm still in shock Kolek didn't start and only played 20 minutes. Thibs really does read the forums, huh?

probably posts in here as well

[Clyde_Style]

We win, 3 pages, We lose, 9 pages

We all know who and why

Another solid game from Kolek. Good floor game as usual but we also saw him knock down a three this game, get to the rim and he even had to deal with a full court press on many occasions. If he can perfect the Brunson foul hunting when he gets into the paint we might have something.

It was also nice to see Shamet knock down some shots. Hopefully he can get into a groove because his shooting is desperately needed especially from the bench.

[TheDavinciCHODE]

Serious question...

Why does KAT catch the ball 30 feet from the rim and iso his man so often in games?

Is this just now that Brunson is gone? How is that good offense? I guess he's such a good shooter that the threat from 3 opens up the drive, but there's gotta be a better way to set him up to score.

His level of play has taken an All-Star type jump since Jb went down and Mitch came on board,

OG is making that money look might fair and is Kwahii type efficient.
