Cam needs to start over AJ
can't demise Pelicans 4-25 shooting from 3, either they played great D or got lucky getting an awful night
looks like team better without Giannis, sit him out rest of the season
Portis 17 points 11 rebound was best player of the game
Green can't put up more shots, he is too slow and your grandma could guard him
Beautiful to watch standard basketball which leads to wins. 5 more wins and the team has the same record without their superstar as they do with him. All because of playing the game the right way!!
You have to balance the starters and the bench. Starting Cam Thomas is silly. He’s perfect off the bench.
Up until the trade deadline- the bucks would be going into the 2nd quarter and it would be competitive- until the second quarter… while Giannis sat they’d get killed. Thomas keeps them in the game. He’s perfect off puts pressure on the d. He’s great off the bench.
And I feel bad for Gary Trent jr…☹️
If the defense is working hard to keep green from shooting, then green going 0-4 is okay. If it’s getting other people lay ups or easier shots… then it’s not bad. Winning and losing is more complicated than just scoring. Most important yes, but how you get it is also important.
These are must win games if the bucks want to be in the playoffs this year .. I don’t take any of them for granted at this point. You had to have it, and ya got it. On to Cincinnati ..
Never seen a team so excited about mediocrity
The bench was on fire
79 bench points is insane
Cam must start … get Green back on bench .. he is more effective from there and his defense is hidden
Cam is on a minutes restriction. Hopefully when it's over he'll get the starting spot…but I also have zero confidence Doc will make that change
The bucks need two more wins to overtake the hornets. The hawks have a pretty easy schedule ahead of them. Kuzma isn’t as good as OG Portis. When Giannis comes back it better be Portis playing over kuzma. Kuzma plays no defense. Trade kuzma for draft capital this offseason and resign Giannis. Keep his scrub brothers to keep him happy. Alex is young but he’s so raw. Got to get another first in this draft. Got to get a SF in the draft or free agency or both due to lack of depth
Get Dieng and Cam in the starting line up
You know why Kuzma looks better? Coz he is playing his natural role as PF is a different style of play than small forward.
That is why kept saying the bucks have 4 power forwards in this line up, Giannis, Portis, Kuzma, Nance…
Portis, Kuzma, Nance can't play effective as small forward role coz they need to create their own shot. Do a better dribbling. Somehow monitor assisting when doing a slashing attack. While helping rebounding…
They all can't do that except Giannis.
Dieng can do that too btw.
Cam Thomas since joining the Bucks is averaging 19.3 points in 19.8 minutes on 63% TS and has been +22 across 4 games. There's always gonna be fans that hate the guy because they don't like scorers, but the guy's been fantastic.
Seein a lot of start Cam comments but…. i kinda like his firepower off the bench? Bench Aj and start Ous instead for more size and keep that ticking time bomb ready to explode off the bench.
Let’s take it “Old School” Run T/M/C those 3 guards brought that memory back. Fun to watch!
19:46 was so unprofessional… these postcasts are really rough listens. Bring back Justin and Camille, get rid of this guy in front of WI sports memorobilia from every team except the Bucks
