Well he’s not a PG Doc put him in a no win situation as good as Rollins was moving and looked out there he definitely should have started and who should be dames main backup. To start playing Pat again is just beyond me wtf

Wright is supposed to be able to play pg.

Rollins is most likely not fit with his shoulder.

Also our starting SG is absolutely awful on offense!

Doc needs to bring back Tyler and Johnson from the G league.

Dame plays and AJ doesn't miss every single shot this is a game to the wire.

Travel, hangover, absences, absolutely nothing to see here, just move on. Have to beat WW tonight tho.

Tyler and Johnson should stay in the G League until they become great G League players, and they're not even good yet.

Normally that is true of course. I was just immensely frustrated by the zero points scored in total yesterday by our two starting guards. I don’t remember any such other horrible offensive performance by starting guards.

Wasn't able to watch the game, but when I looked at the boxscore, that stood out so bright. ZERO points from either starting guard.

You start to feel like Green and Ajax are making a big step forward, then they take two steps back.

They barely played. 7 players got more minutes, and then the bench played the whole 4th quarter.

I can’t imagine a starting backcourt scoring zero has ever happened before in NBA history.

Useless to critique a game where the Bucks never found the "try harder" button.

I’m sure there are a number of historical box scores out there where the starters played even less than 15 minutes.

Lol, “energy and effort” wasn’t gonna make a damn difference last night. Look no further than 46 to 27. Their 3PT attempts vs ours. Doc still doesn’t get it.

Elephant in the room...

We played 2 good, fast teams in a row. 1 with Dame and without Mids and one without Dame and with Mids. One we win by like 20 and the other we lose by like 20. The Dame/Giannis action is what makes everyone open plus Dame is quicker on D. Worse when you combine Mids with Bobby/Pat/Brook and we suddenly look 80. The cup team looked like a whole different team just by switching 1 dude out. Does Mids for a bucket of popcorn work on the trade checker?

Ajax and Green, at this point, are complementary players. They, like much of the rest of the roster, cannot make plays happen for others or themselves. It continues to be a problem that our team has only 2.5 playmakers, and when one of them sits, it magnifies the issue with the rest of the roster. Someone like a vintage JJ Barea would work wonders for our backups.
