Game 74: Hawks at Bucks - 3/30/25 - 6:00 - FDSWI

We really needed about 25 mins of Sims in this one, and about 10 mins of Brook.

Brook is unplayable against these guys.

just curious... what were your takes when michael redd was our star and we were this level?

let me guess....coach? gm?

at what point do you look at the guys? the lockerroom? the culture?

Had no takes.
I was in middle school and did not follow the NBA back then.

You just made 75% of this board feel old as hell.

The only player who is passing and rebounding is the one who is at fault? Is this Alice in Wonderland?

Brook Lopez has ZERO rebounds and it's Giannis's fault?

Thank God BP isn't playing, because it would all be blamed on him.At least blaming Giannis exposes the serious posters from the unserious ones.

Three weeks ago I mentioned the possibility of trading Giannis. Not because he's to blame, but because he is the only asset the Bucks have besides an aging Dame.

Its not that he's to blame, it's that he's the least plug and play superstar in the league maybe ever. A team has to be built very distinctly around him or it won't work. And he's never been a vocal leader, he does his mean mugs and other bs but we all know it was PJ and Khris leading in 21. He's just not making guys around him better anymore.

those are two VERY different versions

This is why I was begging for Butler. We don't have any leadership on the floor. If Khris was healthy he could have filled that role. We literally have the dumbest bball iq 8 man rotation in the entire league. Dame could maybe be that guy but he's too quiet it's not in him.

buds simple hard headed schemes and pj tuckers sorry old ass is why we won that title.

But not Giannis dropping 50 to win it all. You are wilding tonight with these dumbass takes.

Down 26 going into the fourth.

Good thing Giannis played.

Kuz continues his trend of shooting well when down double digits. Hopefully he keeps it up the rest of the year and some young, dumb team is interested. -33

Looking forward to RDC’s version of the Bucks sacking Doc.

yes...true greats wouldnt allow this....and it would start in the lockerroom

Seems like a lot of people don't get this at all. Everything matters including the culture and that can shine or flame out because of the star player.

Wonka wrote:0 rebounds in 25 minutes for Brook is comical. Unless he wants to accept a bench role, I have no interest in retaining him. He is way too limited overall to be relied on game to game and matchup to matchup.

Yeah, I'd be much more interested in bringing Jericho back. Giannis at the 5 needs to happen more too. We've always been worried about him bruising against other bigger centers, but there's really not that many even left, and Giannis is bigger than most as is. Embrace the faster-paced, smaller, switchable style.

Bud did a great job of taking guys and putting them in the best position to succeed in the moment, might've hurt young guy's growth, but man did they win.

Doc, well, Doc is asking a small ball 4 to play 2 guard, another 4 to play the 3.

Not a shocker they can't succeed.

As an aside, what is the last thing Giannis added to his game to make it easier for his teammates?

He still can't box out. Still can't set a screen. Still doesn't make the correct pass early when he gets doubled. Still can't properly be a roll man.

Almost every player we have is either old, slow, stupid…or a couple of those all at once.

BigO · Post #153 » by **BigO** » Mon Mar 31, 2025 1:06 am

Everyone has a rebound but Brook. Giannis, it's your fault.

I think Doc might just be acting at this point :lol:

This is getting embarrassing.

We didn't have a single offensive board until AJJ entered the game. We need more energy on this team.

Just wait until Giannis gives him a stern chat! Brook will magically turn into Rodman.

Never understand why Andre went from starting to getting absolutely no burn in favor of Taurean f*cking Prince.

its hard to point a finger when youre not working all that hard yourself..... and the only guy you want to hang out with is your brother and hes not on the roster anymore

ill admit...wed probs be better with sims than lopez in hobo stretches like this tho. brook is the most talented but i dont blame him for coasting in games hes not getting the ball and were getting plowed. coasting is what this team does. probably need to move on.. its time
