PG Pacers - Bucks Drop Game 1

[Karsenmitsche]

I still think Kuzma makes a lot of sense playing 4/5 next to Giannis but we are just never ever going to try it. It’s just an unreal bad fit in the starting lineup.

I thought that was the primary reason we acquired him yet we just never tried any experimenting of lineups around it.

4 points for all 3 in over 60 minutes of play. Barf.

And somehow Bobby was the only guy who played real minutes, other than Sims, who was a positive +/- He was at least active on D and on the boards for our comeback unit.

What comeback????Lol

I’m guessing this is a Doc vs Horst thing. Can’t imagine Horst was envisioning shrinking the court around Giannis with super big lineups

We're better off with Sims with Giannis. Teams at least account for him as a roller. They bait Kuzma to shoot

Nuggets also getting smoked by the Clippers. Having all time great players and a bunch of guys won't cut it anymore.

I despise this moron. He is determined to light another prime Giannis season on fire.

I got up early for this, made a cup of tea, sat on my arse in the lounge room half asleep. I feel like that was more effort invested than most of the guys who got minutes for us.

How come we don't have to "involve" KPJ or GTJ or AJG or Bobby??? At least Kuzma will be an elite tank commander if Doc loses this series.

For those of us on our phones without Twitter, what did he say?

Grow more confident in the idea that Doc was behind targeting Kuzma. He’s digging his own grave (and making us worse because of it).

[nagawicka]

With him so many games missing, I had almost forgotten why I don't trust Portis

With Dame coming back we have a chance to win the series, probably we won't but even if we do this team is not good.

fresh but not synced. and not hot just ice cold

[CJTURT]

Didn’t get to watch had aau game. Saw the starting lineup and pretty much figured we we’re screwed

[BroncoBuck]

The "it doesn't matter who starts, it's about minutes and who closes" stuff has to be one of the most irritating takes I've seen from Bucks fans the past however many weeks that this Prince/Kuzma bull **** has been happening. I don't see it as much here but I do elsewhere, I see it all the time and it is baffling. Like no, it actually does matter. Starting a garbage lineup each half that digs you into holes and lets the opposing team get into easy shooting rhythm absolutely can sink you. Like it did today.

I don’t think Prince should be in the lineup much at all other than small ball 4. I just think complaining about Rollins vs Porter starting is ridiculous and I’m the resident Brook Lopez hater on this board.

The Bucks shot like **** and the Pacers shot average. That’s the difference. Brook is a dinosaur in this series. He will have one big game where his shot falls, and be a massive negative the rest of the series. The Bucks are just going to live and die around their shooters around Giannis hitting their threes. Today they were about as bad as you can be.

This is the overreaction game.

From 28-12?

And Bobby was awful in the first half. The non Giannis Bucks just came out flat in the first half. That includes the bench players that came in.

We also had about 4 good 3 looks after we cut it tow 12 and missed them all.

[bucksfansince88]

It’s a shame many of us knew we’d lose when we saw the opening tip and that Doc hadn’t learned a thing from how we finished the season

[nagawicka]

Doc defending kuz and prince wtf

Is there a live stream?

Just had fan duel network on. Basically was asked why kuzma and prince had zero points. He said cuz they didn't pass the ball on offense.

Accurate. Not much ball movement. Can't win w/o ball movement.

[Profound23]

Today we would've been better with Middleton over Kuzma, even if Middleton was too invited to play

[German Athens]

TP is going to get completely stonewalled in the playoffs. He’s not going to have space to shoot and he won’t be able to do anything on the court. That’s before considering his defensive limitations.
