Our coach can't adapt. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it's met with facepalms.

I'm convinced they through that game to show a national audience how important brogdon is to us and to solidify his ROY. And ofcourse in Bucks fashion, they failed to realize this would be Westbrook's record tying trip double. So it was all about Westbrook tonight

Middleton's been low-key trash for the better part of two and a half weeks now. When Giannis doesn't have a reliable 2nd option, you're gonna have a bad time.

Brogdon makes everyone better. We are crap without him.

So Roberson even not shooting is way better than Snell. Like another world better defensively.

Pretty sure the team defense rating was better with Jabari than it has been since.

He was creating for others and just shooting open shots. Then he stopped that and has been awful ball stopping low efficiency player. Very hard to fathom.

I think he needs to take more attempts and try to force it and get hot instead of taking the safe way all the time.
He is our best shooter and our second best player and he is averaging only 12 FGA per game... :noway:
He is passing way too many open shots just to pumb fake or drive then and pass the ball.
He has to take more shots or atleast drive and seek a call or shoot the mid-range shot something which will always be open for him.
Especially since he has worse assist ratio than Giannis and our bigs have terrible PNR feel.

I've actually had a nightmare of trying to make a living from betting on Bucks games LOL

I've never again followed a team so closely for so long, and still have absolutely no clue what they're gonna do on any given night.

He is passing way too many open 3s or opportunities for a drive and jumpshot from the mid-range for either simple passes or attempts of PNR. He just needs to shoot more of his open shots. It's not like he is locked down the whole time especially with the attention that Giannis gets.

He was averaging near 15 FGA in the previous two seasons and that with Jabari and or Knight in the same lineup.
He is averaging 12 FGA now that he has to be the second best scoring option and atleast 1/3 of these are fadeaway shots from the post without any real reason when he can hit an open mid-range shot with a pumb fake and drive or a simple screen.

Didn't watch the majority of it, but I feel comfortable saying that coaching isn't the problem when you get beat by 30.

Left my $90 seats in the third quarter.

Actual quotes from Thunder fans:

"Aside from that Greek guy, their whole team is worse than ours."
"Jason Terry? That guy was playing when my kid was born. He just graduated high school."
"I hate Matthew Dellevadova."
"Jason Kidd would probably play better than whatever point guards they have running the show."
"Glad we got Sabonis instead of that tall African guy."
"When does football season start for those Wisconsin people? Their basketball team sucks."
I love Spencer Hawes because he voted for the same person I did."

Only one of those is made up.

The problem wasn't that we were missing Brogdon either. Just pathetic all the way around.

Almost halftime and tanking Dallas is back. 2/16 from 3 and 33% from the field 29 points with 2:30 till halftime all against mighty Sacramento. Glad they saved their game of the season for the Bucks.

"F@ck this prick Dellovanova"
