Welcome to the world of Zach Collins...he gets robbed of 1 or 2 a game.

Shai is a nice player. He's not great at setting up teammates yet, but that'll probably come. He has some good defensive instincts and length. I'd like to see him be a little more aggressive scoring...that'd open up his teammates some.

Could miss extended time depending on the severity from my understanding. Any medical experts here that can confirm?

Brogdon is weird. He looks slow but he always gets by people.

He's the closest thing to Andre Miller in the NBA.

They don't care about non superstars I guess! Yea, SGA shows amazing vision at times, then other times he just makes boneheaded passes. That aspect can likely be chalked up to just learning how to handle the physicality and speed of the NBA. You gotta admit his footwork and pace is amazing for a rook though! That hesitation blow by dunk, as well as earlier post spin he put on Dame (called that one an offensive foul) is NOT normal for a rookie guard. It's very much a throwback to the guards of the 90s like Penny and Kobe.

ClipsFanSince98 wrote:Also WTF was with Doc putting SF's on Portland's centers entire second half? It led to Portland manhandling them on offensive glass, getting a handful of putbacks and just pushing them around for post scores. Doc is tough. He will coach great much of game, then do something inexplicably dumb such as this. Also why not try Ty Wallace? Milos clearly couldn't handle Portland's guards today. Team needed more defense.

don't you realize you're talking with yourself for the past 30 minutes about the Clippers game that everyone turned off as soon as Bucks - Warriors started? :lol:

This game shows Draymond's impact for the Warriors on offense. Bell and Jones are okay decision makers, but Green would have done so much more if he were playing.

I remember thinking that a couple years ago when we blew their winning streak...thought we'd get blown out the next time, but it was another good one. I guess you never know.

I love Boban but if SGA is starting I wouldn’t mind going back to Gortat. I preferred Boban being efficient beating up on second string bigs and now seems like his role is a bit to much. Starting has Boban going against likely better and more talented bigs with teams trying to foul him out early. Let’s keep it simple with the original game plan in regards to Boban.

safe to say Giannis is the front runner for MVP at this point.

Plus the Bucks are destroying the Warriors while being outshot 12% from the three. This game is not a fluke win by the Bucks.
