PG Pistons - Pat Leads Bucks to 8th Straight

Post #1 » by **MickeyDavis** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 7:36 pm

I'll have a Pacers lead-up thread going when the first round schedule is out.

Love Pat! Smith and Nance looked good.

If Pat took all of Prince’s minutes in the playoffs we’d be better. Prince will still start and get 25-30mpg.

Is that championship level role player Pat I see?

Weird that Smith barely even got garbage time with us this year. He seems alright.

Might have been a meaningless game, but that was one of the more entertaining games of the season.

Love that Doc seemed to light a fire under Kuzma by making him play today.

All he can do is shoot. And I think, like a lot of young guys, when he's out there with the big boys, the game gets too sped up for him.

3 of the 4 games against the Pistons have been entertaining.

False, this was against G league, get a grip.

That being said, nice way to go out of that's his last meaningful minutes as a Buck. He had a nice run here with GA cheers to Pat C

I was not watching and had to quadruple-check I read my notification right. 26 shots and a 40/10/5 game for...Pat?! :lol:

I did always think Pat would have some role in the playoffs, whether spot minutes where he helps us, or eventually moves back into the rotation. He's 1 of our few guys actually proven in the playoffs, is well-rounded, & not washed (just a bit over the hill).

A lot of his issues have been shooting belief, which drops for most in the playoffs, whereas for him it may well improve. Playoff Pat.

ShootingtheJ · Post #17 » by **ShootingtheJ** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 7:43 pm

Pat's off the dribble game he's shown was nonexistent in the Bud years. He's one of our better offensive players now, too bad he can't defend anymore.

We already saw Pat C get all TP's minutes and that's why we got TP lol.. but good game bro.. went out like Kobe

Our G-league lineup or whatever you want to call it looks a lot better than it did last season.

Last season in a game like this we probably would have lost by 20. We had multiple guys who aren't regular rotation players who actually look pretty good today like Smith and Nance.

Prince wouldn't have done that today. Also, the Pistons opened the game with 4 of their starters, and Pat lit them up too.
