On a mission to trade him lol. Shockingly he had 6 straight points and 3 rebounds with a proper lineup around him.nagawicka wrote:Profound23 wrote:Giannis deserves just as much blame for that first half.

Yeah those turnovers keep coming. Looked up to see Giannis dribble into traffic AGAIN, lose it AGAIN, not finish at the rim AGAIN. Ball movement plz
He's missed FTs and had probably 4-6 bad plays for sure. But singling him out when he's still putting up efficient offense is fun.

Not really a complete overhaul. I would just play him more with KPJ, Green and Trent. Overhauled

His hatred for Middleton has caused him to need Kuzma to succeed.

You don’t even need to start Portis just start Sims. KPJ-Trent-Green-Greek-Sims. You still have great size

Please change the starting lineup for the rest of the series, Doc. We cannot afford to dig these giant holes every game. Prince and Kuz will not cut it.

If we were shooting just 32% from three we'd be within 4 points.
Granted if this lineup keeps on, we might still have a chance.

Hopefully this game makes Doc realize he can’t run that same horrid starting 5 out again any more, but I’m willing to bet it’s the same group getting the nod in game 2

And that's with Bobby being awful and only getting like 2 minutes with Giannis.
giannis has been the lineup wrecker tonight at least
hard to know if the minutes he sat that we won have any merit but every minute giannis has been out there weve gotten our ass kicked regardless of who was with him
Giannis minutes overlapped with Haliburton until the end. That's the +/- story right there as Hali was warping the defense. That and Giannis playing with the worse players ie starters. Notice how they went on a run partially with Giannis included and Hali on the bench.

Our price for trading AJ Johnson for Kuzma was the Wizards had to take Khris's contract. Never was a Midds for Kuzma deal.

I just don’t see a defensible argument for TP at the 2.

It's criminal to not start KPJ, hes so good at creating shots for others. Hes got the pace that all good pgs use now.

Pretty sure a baby could see that Trent is far superior to Prince.

TJM figured out how to kill the zone, just shoot a ft line jumper.

Especially when that starting lineup has absolutely zero ball handlers or creators outside of giannis. The load up on him and our guys are shooting 16 percent from 3. They just rely on giannis to do something. Need that 2nd creator when things break down
