Porter and Green played more minutes than any starter sans Giannis. So maybe isn't the game to gripe about it. :)
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I like that Rollins and KPJ are stepping up in place of Dame. It was KPJ's turn tonight and he played big.

You have Edens give him some of the Pat Connaughton real estate deals on the side.

Fun game. Hilarious that we need these kind of Giannis performances to beat lottery teams, and they shot 22 more threes than us. But a fun game.

Punt Doc into the Sun though, please.

Yeah I think this game as to be the example we use in the playoffs. We have a few too many dudes who have to be on a short leash.

Doc benched Kuzma. Going to be doing that a few times in the playoffs I would imagine.

Kuzma and Prince, especially Kuzma, were garbage in regulation and we wouldn't have needed OT otherwise. The fact that Doc is starting both of them out of position next to Giannis makes me physically ill every night the Bucks play.

This right here but I am tired of saying it great win and pistons loss
Giannis is just amazing I will just enjoy watching him finally in the playoffs again KPJ should have had over 30 tonite but was clutch n the end. Sure need portis and Sims back for rebounding

KPJ, what can you say.

Kuzma, what can't you say (except to bench him entirely if you're Doc)


Why don't I just go eat some hay, make things out of clay, lay by the bay? I just may! What'd ya say?

Liked that Doc at least went with the best 5 down the stretch and didn’t just defer to his starters/highest paid dudes. Hopefully a trend we’ll see in the playoffs.

Pat has looked good these past few games too. Perhaps the dude just needed a rest.

What’s our playoff rotation?
Giannis
Brook
Kuz
TP
Rollins
Green
Trent
KPJ
Pat?

You forgot Bobby, which shows how deep this team can be if healthy.

Kuzma might be able to be salvaged if he would just stop shooting 3's and focus on driving to the hoop. And stop shooting 2's from behind the backboard.

First time since 2014-2015.

Incidentally, in that season's final Heat win, it featured Middleton's last-second buzzer beater after Jerryd Bayless won that jump ball from Michael Beasley. One of my favorite regular season endings ever.

We are one of the lottery teams unfortunately.

Prez,

I'm going to be away from the board for a few weeks or more. There's nothing to be done with the roster right now. but there is something that can be done on who sees the court.

Please repeat your post every game 3 or 4 times. Maybe someone on the Bucks will realize that Kuzma and Prince on the court, especially at the same time, is brutal. Thanks.

Yeah, bring back Bud, so we can go back to constantly losing to the Heat.
