  1. Green is playing too many minutes, 11 points but defense is beyond awful. Middleton outplayed Kusma. Turner looked flat footed. A win but this defense is awful.

  2. Camille, you are such a fan. After all these months of uncertainty I believe the future will be both interesting and entertaining. Thanks for walking us through it all. I appreciate all you do for us fans. Great analysis. The opposing team was not the most experienced but a great start. Where do you get to sit when you go to home games?

  3. Bucks issues are mainly defense. The defense just looks bad, unorganized and just a lot of undersized guys. They have some good one on one defenders, but as a team it's just bad. It was fine in the 1st half and then just fell off a cliff.

  4. The Bucks played well but they is still room for improvement. We need to improve on rebounding and maintaining good leads against bad teams

  5. A couple of those early fouls on Cole Anthony and AJ Green were insanely soft calls considering we watched (as always) multiple drives of Giannis get hacked and get no call

  6. The Bucks aren't fouling. The refs are doing reputation based officiating, which is bullshit. The Bucks should just continue to play good defense and force the refs to adjust to them, not the other way around. We shouldn't allow grifting and bad officiating to stop us from playing defense properly.

  7. crowd was into it for middys return, was funny seeing the tough shot express against us guy is such an easy scorer. probably shouldn't complain about the officiating game one hopefully they are rusty but it just felt like they were bad the whole game. liked the space and pace. 1-0

  8. Wonder if Washington would ever consider a Middleton buyout…..he's still got game (doesn't mean it was wrong to trade him last year though)

  9. I know we maintained the lead the whole way through, but the game felt very different after KPJ went out. It’s clear that he brings something to our guard rotation that the others don’t have, and I think it’s something beyond just the self-creation that he’s great at

  10. WHO’S TAKING GIANNIS FOR GRANTED?? WE BUCKS FANS WOULD NEVER TAKE OUR KING FOR GRANTED!
..

    Please stop saying that.

  11. Hate to see Frank's ugly face and bad analysis, but a few grades from his former site were worse and should be addressed first (though Frank's belief in +/- is a sure sign of a pinhead, not to mention his UTTERLY RACIST remark about the pale white guy).

    Prince had the best + on the team and deserves an A (not a B).
    Doc deserves to drop from their B+ to a C- because he should have taken Porter out 2 minutes prior to the injury with a 15+ point lead (hint: it's because he KNOWS that Rollins is trash and couldn't be on the floor with the 4 other subs).
    Coffey was more solid than he was graded.
    Rollins was absolute garbage and gets a D from me (not their B).

    Green was terrible, the D horrendous after a first quarter that wasn't good (FOULS). He should absolutely NOT be starting and we need a REAL SF on the floor. TP or Coffey should start for him and he can be the 2nd unit scorer (they don't have much outside TP and Cole).

    Bobby needs to be traded ASAP. He can't play the modern game. Sims should start taking his mins. immediately. Bobby and Rollins for a REAL PG sounds ideal.

    Rollins was PURE TRASH. The ONLY times he's effective on O is when some chaotic play has broken down or the Bucks did something on D. He CANNOT run an NBA offense, as illustrated by the fact that his off arm was constantly out and pushing off, and he STILL has no lateral quickness and can't get around those players or pass effectively. He can't set screens. He doesn't work well off screens or the PNR. His shooting is suspect (though he no longer misses at the rim like he and Marjon were so famous for). He's not an NBA caliber player.

    Happy with the performance overall and devastated by the loss of a budding superstar (ya'll wrong about him, and Frank is a bigger fool if he believes that was a minor sprain by the look of it, but Frank's 3 inch vertical probably never put him in that kind of danger).

    Oh, and I find it weird that Giannis was credited with a missed FT due to the time violation. Technically, shouldn't the whistle have blown the play dead when time expired, meaning that the FT didn't occur? It should NOT be on his stat sheet as a miss, since technically he didn't take the FT and it should have been a dead ball situation.
