Only issue for me is Bobby P, he doesn’t fit the style of basketball the team is trying to get to…he offers a little something on offense, but continues to be a liability on defense, it’s going to keep hurting the team
Every time I see Green starting it's a huge sign how bad the Bucks must be, even Beasley was better than this 9 point 35 minute spark plug to any opposing offense.
KPJ is clearly the 2nd best and most important player on the bucks for all the reasons Justin and Camille stated,Rollins has been great but folks saying KPJ should go to the bench while Rollins plays the PG position was silly and showed they are simply just Rollins stans, KPJ will be the main reason why bucks run off a long winning streak
Lets go go go..👏👏👏
Quack Rivers needs to be fired ASAP – might not even make the playoffs, but who knows Giannis thinks he can average 63 points a game and pass James in scoring in 5 years
Love the optimism but – really?
We beat one of the worst teams ever assembled – just settle down. We lost 7 in a row and we are saying KPJ is the saviour?
Giannis is unbelievable but we were bad before he got injured.
We need Frank for a dose of reality
Justin and Camille are very optimistic about KPJ, let s give him at least 10 games to get a bigger sample size on how he will lead. I want to see good and bad.
Biggest impact of KPJ's return is that we can finally reduce the minutes of Cole Anthony. I love his energy but his low IQ plays have been killing the buck's offense in the last 10 games.
Another thing bucks has to do is to ship portis out for a better backup centre. BP just isnt the same as he was 4 years ago and he's a traffic cone on defense. offensively he can be a spark plug but his hero ball tendancies is not what the bucks need
It was a G League team they played. However, with KPJ and Rollins healthy things should be much better. Both have length and can play some D, both can create. And most important this will reduce Cole Anthony minutes hopefully to zero. And Trent Jr who looks lost so far this year, can go to the bench and hopefully pull it together. No need to have Bucks fans argue about KPJ vs Rollins. Both are critical.
So KPJ is top WHAT in the nba really 1 game against the Nets and the Bucks are contenders 😂😂😂TRADE GREEK NOW
If we lose Monday Doc should be fired Tuesday no excuses 😂😂😂
yes Gary Harris is a gret addition on defense even with no offense..i don't see people complaining about him having no offense like with the other player…
You all talking like they play a good team
Be for real
Ngl so far Cole has looked his best playing alongside Ryan. I definitely think we need to close games with KPJ and Ryan on the court together, but it might also be better to not start Ryan again and have him rotationally spend most of his minutes each game with the bench instead of the starters. Again, he NEEDS to be in the closing lineup, he's clearly a top 5 player on the team, but for rotational purposes, and for getting the best out of Cole and the rest of the bench… I really like Ryan going back there. Have him come off the bench as the 6th man
the problem is not KPJ. or Giannis. The problem is the other players of Bucks.Poor roster!
REALITY CHECK!! THIS TEAM AIN'T CRAP WITHOUT GIANNIS!! WE WHO WRITE IN THIS SECTION KNOW THIS!! JUSTIN AND CAMILLE ARE DELUSIONAL HOMERS WHO ARE GOING TO HYPE THIS TEAM AND PLAYERS UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME!! BUT THE THING IS THE EAST ISN'T GREAT!! THIS TEAM AS BAD AS IT IS COULD COMPETE WITH ANYONE IN THE EAST AND THAT'S JUST HOW MUCH OF A MIXED BAG THE EAST IS!! THE BUCKS HAVE ALOT OF SUCCESS OVER THE YEARS AGAINST ALOT OF THE TEAMS IN FRONT OF THEM!! THE WEDNESDAY MATCHUP WILL LET US KNOW JUST HOW MUCH THE BUCKS HAVE TO BACK UP THIS THEORY!! THEY HAVE THE DIVISION LEADING PISTONS ON TAP!! WITH GIANNIS OUT THE PISTONS FINALLY BROKE THROUGH AND GOT A WIN AGAINST THE BUCKS AND BROKE THEIR OWN PERSONAL LOSING STREAK AGAINST THE BUCKS!! THIS TEAM HAS TO PLAY DEFENSE THOUGH. NOT JUST JACK UP A BUNCH OF THREES CAMILLE AND HOPE FOR THE BEST!! THE DEFENSE WAS GOOD AGAINST THE SORRY NETS. LETS SEE WHAT THEY DO AGAINST THE PISTONS!! I MIGHT WATCH THEM AGAINST THE SORRY WIZARDS PUT THAT'S A GAME TIME DECISION. I DON'T LIKE WATCHING SORRY TEAMS PLAY!! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THIS TEAM DOES IF IT AIN'T A CHAMPIONSHIP JON HAS TO GO PERIOD!! YEAH I'M STILL ON THAT MISSION!! THE TIME IS NOW!! JON HAS TO GO!! HE'S WASTING GIANNIS BEST YEARS WITH THESE CRAPPY TEAMS HE PUT TOGETHER!! THE TIME IS NOW!!
AS FAR AS KPJ!! THE DEFENSE HAD ALOT MORE POP!!
