Is anyone covering the Bucks going to ask about Brook Lopez? Is there any evidence at all that he is in Milwaukee right now?

He's toxic to watch play basketball.

But let’s be honest here. I hate Harden as a player but he’s a significant upgrade than Middleton. A bad game for Harden is 20pts. I bad game for Midds is 7pts on 2-13 shooting, which I feel like happens often.

Yeah but that bad game from Harden he would go 8-30 shooting, hogging the ball, and being a pylon on defense.

And the one homegame is an afternoon game :lol:

I think he’s being sarcastic because he’s on the wrong side of every clip he’s in and social media was saying he was getting cooked.

Haha yeah, I said in the Giannis thread that I felt bad for him. He definitely got the worst of the edits. Shouldn’t have deleted it, it was funny.

Yeah but that bad Harden game means I still gotta watch Harden play basketball.

In our scheme would Harden just immediately shoot a fall-away 3? That would be easier to watch than dribbling for 15 seconds before he shot.

Speaking of 2/13 shooting, that was what Harden did in his 1st game last season. He also had games where he shot 3/10, 3/13, 5/18, 4/17, 4/13, and 2/11.

Now that you've shown his bad games, do his good games!

Now they talk about switching? A little late if you ask me. Other than Brook, they had great personnel for switching more the last two years. Didn't Hill have to talk Bud into switching at halftime of game 2 against the Celtics and that's when the Bucks completely took over the series? They were blown out in game 1 and struggling again in the first half of game 2. The drop defense runs up their defensive stats against mediocre teams but has issues in the playoffs. When teams can play 4 or 5 shooters and plenty of guys who can make good decisions, they get too many open 3's from good shooters.

Bucks replied to a comment on IG, which I saw on Reddit that Brook is there.

I would just assume anyone not visible is in quarantine for covid

Don't think we've seen DJ Wilson either.

Thanasis being out of view is more due to Giannis talk.

Still haven't seen anything from the camp invites, as well, that's probably covid related safety.

LUKE23 · Post #540 » by **LUKE23** » Wed Dec 9, 2020 3:26 pm

Their starting five is even more suited for switching now, Holiday is better than Bledsoe there and DDV has more lateral quickness than Wes and is also great at getting through screens.

Their bench is pretty weak defensively now so they will need to mix minutes well.
