I wanna hear Justin talk Grateful Dead
Bench TP for Green, decrease Brook's and Kuz minutes, up Sims minutes and keep 3 guards in at all times
My Starters Sims, Giannis, TP, Green, Rollins , 2nd Unit Lopez, BP, KUz, Trent, KPJ
That starting lineup needs an offensive scheme or sets ran for each player. They can not play randomly. Instead Doc's response is to just pass the ball. That's not good enough for that group. There should be sets for every starter, but I guess that's too much to ask of the coaching staff 🙄
The Buck's need to prove something in game two for me to believe that we have a chance. I have zero faith in Doc.. Its hard to win without a functioning system with schemes and set plays. His answer has to be more than pass the ball??????
You guys want brook lopez to start because his name is brook lopez. If his name was something else and had the same production you’d say “yeah this isn’t his series, he can play 10-15 minutes”. And GA Jericho lineups have a sub 90 defensive rating. put 3 spacers out there with them. Given that they are starting Kuzma, Rollins (not seriously guarded from 3), and lopez (not seriously guarded from 3) and TP (only true spacer), a GA sims lineup’s spacing is the least of their worries.
Got to win or
At least be within 4 pts in a loss or we in trouble
If dames at full strength and he plays in game 2
I like our chances!! Just hard to believe dame being 💯 this soon Gianni’s will have a great game game 2 as well Trent and kpj I believe
We need young fast players. With giannis. Kpj. Trent. Green or Dame. Giannis. Sims.
Been saying that that starting lineup is the Bucks first problem Doc needs to fix and until he fixes that then Bucks are cooked. They dudes have no clue how to play basketball with or without the ball. Nothing worse than playing on a basketball team where a player/s dont know what to do if they dont get the ball or not hitting shots.
Put Giannis and KPG for 40 Minutes….55 points-14 rebounds-12 assists….both 2 average for the rest of Series and Bucks in 6
Are we going to get another stella performance from KUZ 22mins with no points, no rebounds, no assists
Yep Damian blood Clot Lillard gonna return and play lock down defense and give the Bucks 38 mins of fire.Brook Lopez is all of a sudden gonna be fast enough to guard the stretch 5 Myles Turner.Giannis is gonna score 45+ a game,Pacers have no chance.
Pacers getting better with Coach Carlisle. Doc Rivers must show up.
Bucks are actually the most disappointing team with memphis in the playoffs at least memphis are playing the first seed
Rivers' big problem is that he doesn't understand that there is a superstar on the Milwaukee Bucks. Kevin Porter. He doesn't understand that there is no comparison to Rollins who is simply a good player. Nothing else.
