Bobby will show up at home. He's done this his entire career and yet not a single coach has ever recognized it. He's terrible in away games and a borderline all star in home games. Crazy no one has said hey maybe give him a short leash on the road and a longer one at home...

He doubled down on his horrendous starting 5 by extending their first stint minutes. It is absolutely, mindnumbingly unsensical. Especially considering that the answers to the test are in plain sight, but he chooses to ignore them.

I hope someone gets on his ass in the presser.

He is the 3rd best player on the team and yet here we sit.

Not a serious organisation if you trade for Kyle Kuzma.

Not a serious organization when you hire Doc Rivers to be your coach. And yes, I used a "z".

For the sake of argument let's assume Doc isn't insane and Dame is back game 2. Who do you start with Dame/Giannis/Brook and who do you close with Dame/Giannis?

Start-Dame/Rollins/Prince/Giannis/Brook

Close Dame/Green/GTJ/Bobby/Giannis

we suck guys... weve sucked for a minute.

i think theres some overzealous mentality here about kpj.

hes really fun, and young, and yeah he should play a little more but the idea hes this huge joker card we refuse to use is kinda a reach if you really step back from the ledge.

KPJ deserves and need to start and finish games regardless of Dames status

Porter still played 30 minutes.

I don’t care about starting lineups. It means nothing in comparison to minutes played and the more important closing lineups.

The team won’t shoot this bad again. At least we suffered through our classic Bucks **** noon tipoff game. It feels like we always play like garbage in these early tips

Jim O might say something. I'm hopeful. I don't normally bother him with Bucks stuff, but had to reach out after that one.

We had won 8 in a row and found out Dame is coming back (unexpected). Of course there was some optimism. And losing game 1 on the road isn't the end of the world. I hate Doc too but we still have the best player in the series.

I'm certainly realistic in that this will be a tough series to win but it's certainly not over. I guess I'd be miserable being an eternal defeatest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dude, digging yourself an early hole with a big and slow lineup doesn't mean nothing. They were getting open 3's because Prince and Lopez can't hang.

It's not that KPJ is *that* good (or Trent/Green for that matter) it's that Kuz and Prince are that bad. The difference makes a difference.

Even funnier that Doc is slow brained since those first 3 are better fits with Giannis and better matchups against Indy.

So Bucks still better without Dame?

He played 10 mins the first half and 19 straight in 2nd half. Docs an idiot.
