We've had the answer for a while. The Ballys crew created an infographic of the answer in the last week or two. We're leaning away from it.

Did you read the article? Giannis was determined not to play for Nurse, ie the Bucks presented him with multiple options including Griffin and Nurse and Giannis did not want Nurse. Who put those as the options to begin with??

The owners/Horst who are the actual issue.

They shouldn’t play another minute

Kuz is the right guy for this series.. just has to finish better in the lane.. he's active and playing aggressive.. use a couple pump fakes against aggressive players and he'll be fine.

Garbage. Ass. Take.

0-0-0 on 0-5 on the field for Kuzma. But it’s because he’s playing out of position! He’s been “active and playing aggressive” some say!

Pacers could be up by 40 and thier basic effort level would still blow ours out of the water.

That's one of those strange things that is both sad and hilarious at the same time.

What position would Rollins or KPJ play then? No more of that.

Point Giannis is not the same thing as Point Guard.

Denial gets you nowhere when 60 to 80% of the time it's the same damn thing.

Carlisle is a really good coach, too. He always finds ways to maximize his talent or lack thereof. This team is pretty deep and pretty talented.

The corpse of Khris playing 15 minutes off the bench would be more useful than Kuzma. Horst and Doc both need to never see the outside of a prison cell.

It was best 3 years ago when many of us kept saying he's unplayable in most playoff series.

What's happening today is definitely not Brook's fault. He looks like he could contribute on offense but, you know, coaching and whatnot.

This. Yeah Doc yada yada yada but at the end of the day you have to make shots. 1/18 includes 0-8 from the bench sans Green.

They’re shooting lights out so we’d probably still be losing but I’d bet money this wouldn’t be a football score blowout if we were riding a KPJ-Trent-Green-Giannis lineup and using the other dudes sparingly instead of the other way around

Garbage. Ass. Take.

Maybe it's the idea of him but long, athletic, aggressive, touch... he is.. want more Brooks and Bobbys?

If I’m Indy I’m intentionally keeping them just within 20 or so as Doc’s stupid ass will continue to waste Giannis minutes.

He's terrible though. Might as well bring Thon back if thats your criteria for playing.
