People...
Giannis is bad at free throws, we know that. But they are fouling him hard and constantly in order to tire him out and make him miss.
It is what it is.

Good ass D by Green on that last possession

If Doc pulls his head out of his ass from here on out, we'll win this easily.

We need to calm down and take control.

KPJ: "Everybody relax"

Typical Bucks first quarter. I'm feeling okay if Giannis turns into point Giannis.

McConnell can't guard ****. Keep going at him.

Crazy how most other players in the league aren't phased by this like he is though. Hurts that he's an awful FT shooter to begin with

This lineup is playing basketball. Bench Kuz, TP, and Brook for the entire series.

Almost looks like he's wearing a mecca court coat.

This has been pretty much our 1st quarter every game with this lineup. Time for KPJ to dig us out of this hole in the 2nd quarter

My thing is, you're already bad with the routine....just stop the routine and shoot right away.

Maybe it works, maybe not, but it's better than this madness.

It would be nice to actually run some plays, set some screens, get Green some shots.

So the better lineups were once again better. Will they cool off and will we actually increase the starters minutes together? Pretty sure they came out about 2 minutes later than usual.

Nice little close to the quarter. Honestly, not worried. I think we are the better team if we simply settle in and clean up a couple of things.

Run the KPJ, Green, Trent, Kuzma and Giannis lineup

Wouldn’t mind keeping Kuz Brook and prince parked on the bench

For goodness sakes don’t play them/start them together.

Kuz is better than Prince I think, but both are being hurt by one playing out of position.

Quicker defenders please. No more ineffective jumbo bull
