PG Thread (Phoenix) - No more Kidding around

[M-C-G]

Prunty has until Friday night to install some plays. Odds are we have plays he just needs to remind the team what they are and call them

Jim: Luke has selected Giannis as his fourth quarter shoot out pick for the night. Since he is not playing tonight I will make another pick for him, how about Marshall Plumlee. If Marshall Plumlee scores the first points of the fourth quarter Luke wins a Bucks media guide and two free tickets to an upcoming Milwaukee Bucks game.

Silence

Marques: Are we running low on media guides or something?

Duuuuuuuude, I thought I was going to f*****g die of laughter!

I know we're all awash in the Kidd getting sh*tcanned, but last night was the most Iso heavy performance I can recall this season, and Prunty is the mastermind behind the team's offense. Sure, I'll give him some time to make his mark on the team, but we all have to remember Kidd wasn't the architect behind either the offensive or defensive schemes; those guys are still around. If we're still hyper aggressive and iso heavy and not getting ourselves clean looks from outside or at the hoop, the Bucks can't be too successful the rest of the way.

Keep your eye on the ball. In all likelihood the best thing for the organization is a complete reset of the coaching staff.

It's probable they stay the course but the coaches know they have an endpoint now. They shouldn't be patient with the players when they are making mistakes or teams go off on runs. At least I wouldn't be if I wanted a new job after this season.

Prunty has an audition for one of the very best gigs in the sport. I can barely fathom the idea that a smart coach given this opportunity wouldn't pull out every last stop to try and make it work. Dial back the trapping and blitzing, tighten up the rotations with the best players, do something to modernize the offense. He's got three months to figure it out. More of what we saw last night won't cut it.

Not only that but if he doesn't get the gig he's auditioning for the other 29 NBA teams out there for a spot on their bench (or head coaching spot). I hope he puts his mark on what's left of the season.

Thon played less than 10 mins. If he had played less than 5 Bucks win a little easier.

When Jabari comes back, I want to see Thon working on his towel waving skills for 48 minutes per night.

Did you guys know that I'm not a Thon fan?

Is there any good reason not to give Plumlee the backup center minutes until his 2-way runs out? It's sad that the worst Plumlee is noticeably more effective than Thon.

I agree, but I would really like to address that position ASAP. I don't think our center rotation helps us get out of the first round.

We are just so weak inside right now, I'm not necessarily ready to give up on Thon ever developing in to a solid bench guy, but when your starter is already weak, uncoordinated, and a little bit of a meow... you want to bring a guy off the bench who is a bruiser, not taller, weaker, less coordinated, and an even bigger meow.

I'm excited for what Jabari will add to Prunty's options, but the roster utterly lacks a starting caliber center. Just find a vet who has size and balance and can catch a ball and you have upgraded. I guess if you find a guy like that you are fine with Henson as your backup. But that guy costs us so many baskets a night on both ends.

Spot on!

Just finished the game this morning, couple thoughts -

- Brogs was so amazing. Love it when he is attack mode.
- Phx guards played like Thon - completely out of control. I can't believe how many turnovers they commited.
- Speaking of Thon - he is the worst Milwaukee Buck of all time. Plum should get all of Thon's minutes.

Whoa, whoa whoa. He is not worse than Mark Pope.

Come on guys, we all know DJ Wilson will captain any and all "worst Buck" list from now until the end of time.

[raysbookclub]

He literally runs around looking to set picks and our team doesn't know what to do, like they have never seen it before

lol

I prefer to think of him as the third best Plumlee.

Seriously, though, I think he has the clearest NBA role (emergency C) of any of them going forward. He is relatively sound defensively and is happy to set giant screens constantly.

The single biggest problem with Plumlees in the NBA so far is that teams haven't figured out that it is not good to pay them a lot.

Remember when I came into this season thinking you were too hard on Thon? Not my finest hour. Clearly, the Raptors series was the anomaly.

He will go down in the pantheon of Tito Horford, Daniel Santiago, Primo Brezec, Jon Brockman, Jared Reiner, Zendon Hamilton, Jamie Feick, Andrew Lang, Acie Earl, and Alan Ogg. AND, Thon may end up the worst of this bunch. He is that bad. I can't believe my eyes when he's on the court - the utter meaninglessness to almost every move he performs on the court. Nothing aligns - just like his missed follow-up dunk attempt last night or his completely airballed elbow 18 footer.

I can't believe that Henson was the first option on offense early in the game last night. It happened again to start the 2nd half. I must have counted at least 10 possessions that Henson should have been on the receiving end of a pass to only not be quick enough to react or do nothing but fumble the ball with his stone hands.

One of the reason why Prunty called the first early time out was due to falling behind and Henson not being able to complete opportunities he had in the post. Then Middleton took over and we where able to take the led at the end of the first quarter.

Am I the only one who noticed during the tv broadcast at 1:09 left in the first half, that they showed DAVID GRUBRER FROM THE LAW OFFICE OF DAVID GRUBER in the front row, with a lady friend? I see that guy on so many brewer and bucks commercials, I always wanted to know his back story. Im thinking of writing some David Gruber fan fiction. Good luck on your date, ambulance chaser!

Taking my gf to the game on Friday, and she's more excited about the possibility of seeing Gruber than anything. I've got my work cut out for me...

What is his back story tho?

I laughed for a good 5 minutes longer than I should have at this.

[Tfence92]

Grubers are a great family known them for many years

Back in the 90s, I used to see him shooting around in Whitefish Bay. Pretty sick jumper.

Playing pick up with the old dudes in open gym lol

Pretty sure he played college ball. Some family friends of mine used to play with him years ago he was definitely a knockdown shooter.
