Getting cooked by a guy who looks like a substitute teacher.

I'm starting to become concerned that this is going to play out in the most painful way for us.

10/31 so far from Bobby and GTJ. Gonna need to step up down the stretch and hit some makeable shots.

Everything they do is with purpose. We are the exact opposite outside of a few random plays here and there.

We are so handicapped compared to them. They have a backup point guard who can beat a man off the dribble, he has a mid range game, can convert at the hoop, etc. KPJ can’t do much other than find Giannis off the dribble. We only have two guys who can reliably make contested threes. They have seemingly 5-6 guys who can do that.

He locked up Haliburton on one play that will definitely go on his career highlight reel.

Some of these open threes gotta start falling.

I really think the bucks screwed up not putting a real PG next to Giannis over the years. cheap guys like Paul and Conley were there for the taking.

A lot of gassed players. Now Doc is laying it all out, maybe the players weren’t expecting this change themselves to have the right guys actually play the most minutes.
