Kolek planning to go pro
The only positive is those calls do go called less often come playoff time, so he has no idea how to play in the playoffs.Pretty bad loss there. Why Bud refuses to run the offense through Jrue and Brook when they’re hot is beyond me. Khris looked awful.
Offense wasn’t the problem, though. When you give up 45 in the 4th and lose by 3 - that’s on the defense. Philly scored almost every time down the floor in the last 8 minutes.
Down 4 with 25 seconds left, Lopez/Allen/Holiday are a combined 14/21 from 3 and you have Middleton taking a fading 3 on a curl when he has 6 points on the night and is shooting 30% from 3 in the last 10 games? Thats, ummm, a choice?
"The side of Ja Morant the media doesn't show." Ummm...who are those dudes with the cameras and media credentials hanging around their necks? LOLI like Ja (despite what he did to us). I think he's one of the most exciting young players in the League. Until very recently, I don't think the media has missed too many opportunities to show Ja a lot of love.
I’ll never understand why Bud doesn’t run the offense through Brook when it bogs down. The guy is the Bucks’ best half court option. Can pick and roll and finish the lob, pick and pop and hit the 3, has a little Dirk-like fade from the mid range. He’s incredibly skilled for a guy his size. Every time 2 of the Bucks’ big 3 are out he goes for 25+.I’m also convinced that while his raw rebounding numbers aren’t impressive for a guy his size, he’s the most important player to a team’s rebounding in the NBA. The Bucks are the best rebounding team in the league, but when he goes to the bench they give up second shots galore.
It's an interesting point. Is Middleton playing anywhere near his pre-injury level? When I have watched the Bucks I haven't been particularly impressed with their h-c offense. Obviously, Giannis destroys in transition but I think they can run a more fluid and efficient offense in the h-c.
Middleton looked good the second time he came back up until the Sixers game. He looked good again tonight. They need to start taking the training wheels off and ramping him up, because he needs to be right up there with Jrue in production for the Bucks to win a title.
I'm also concerned they gave up like 50 points in tbe 4Q to Philly the other night. I agree with your basic point. I will also add that Giannis needs to figure out Boston's flopping, I mean defense. He commits way too many offensive fouls vs the C's and doesn't shoot a particularly high percentage. If he takes his time a bit in lieu of bowling people over he can get what he wants in the paint. I think Budenholzer needs to make an adjustment vs them.
Yeah, I am not really concerned about the Bucks. Pretty sure they will make to the ECF. Not sure if they can get past Boston, but they have made a bunch of good moves and are set up fine.
Their goal is not making the ECF or Finals Fluffy.
That J.J. Reddick vs Perk video is worth seeing.
Perk needs to get off the air.Guy constantly gets body bagged and never says anything remotely intelligent. Reddick put him in his place baaaaaaaad.
