Basketball is easy; just a complex, relative, and multidimensional phenomena. ☕️ 🏀 🦌

I can be positive, too.

Tldr: stop doom and glooming my Bucks because they need a year, ok?? National media?!
But he appreciates Khris Middleton, now! Progress!
The upshot of Doc’s press conference: He doesn’t have the locker room, and he thinks it’s a player issue, not his.

He praised ATOs/sets, but when asked if he was surprised by the young Wizards, he said, “I wasn’t. But I’m not playing, so I can’t do anything about it.”

Yikes.

Their plan to build/play small has really backfired on them, too. The price they had to pay vs what they could've spent it on makes it fine. They had no $. But putting all your plans on an 8 game April win streak and a 5 game playoff series didn't work. The roster hasn't offered the coach many outs

The answer is probably Thibs because he wouldn't have any problem picking their 6 best guys and never looking back. It's a bad idea, but so much of this roster being unhelpful makes it the right bad idea. It's not a real idea. But it's not not a real idea

Head coach Sidney Dobner, the last person competent enough to watch a replay on an iPad.

Head coach Rajon Rondo, assistant head coach Vin Baker, assistant coach Thibs. Keep the box light.
I guess you just give Ham the appointment and see what happens

Giannis got hacked. Got no calls. Again. Giannis got called for a charge. His coach didn't challenge for him. Giannis gave up. He gave the effort he was getting back.

Their best defensive possession of the game was the CJ 3, too. Just an incredibly dumb effort. And you earn that result.

Clippers led 46-44.

They trail 74-48.

Yes. That is a 30-2 run.

Take your small sample and shove it. The two point guards outplaying/out growing even optimistic expectations makes a lot of other future plans operational. Let's go
December 2, 2025 at 1:35 AM
When Giannis is called for a charge, you don't have to look for the DIII basketball player who's been making a mess of development for multiple seasons holding the iPad behind your bench to decide to challenge or not. You just challenge.

Giannis just got fouled 7 separate times in a possession by 3 different players. No whistle but these refs at least looking out for Marvin bagleys whistle!

Mark Bartelstein has billion clients. Many them past, present, and future Bucks. He knows how they operate. And continues to work with them anyway. Some of his clients include Bobby Portis. Michael Porter Jr. ... Pete Nance. Dec 15 man, there's no need to wait. TMIII isn't walking through that door

This is a game that feels like the Bucks knew they'd have to play really hard for 6-8 minutes to win. And they're prob right. But man is that annoying when they've looked lost for 3 weeks. No one convinces themselves they're good faster than the Bucks of the last 3 years. All completely unearned.

What? Your officials @nba.com are out of fucking control, gang. They just are obsessed with themselves.

Why are you booing Kyle Kuzma? Haha. It's not his fault.

Shout out the missing Eric Nehm.

Kyshawn George being drafted immediately after the Bucks picked probably means he's going to haunt them his entire career. So we have that going for us.

Wow. Nets. Hear that? Sounds like you can get a pick for him this summer. That's pretty cool.
despite my handle here, i'm not some huge kyle kuzma apologist and his fit on the bucks is FAR from perfect. but this year his numbers are quite impressive

13.5 ppg
4.6 rpg
2.1 apg

50/35/76 splits

highest eFG of his career, lowest turnovers of his career, highest true shooting of his career

Stein, fuck all the way off. Wonder why he fixated on Middleton? Tons of guys get traded. Whatta douche. The Us Weekly of NBA "insiders"

Alex Sarr (right adductor soreness) has been downgraded to OUT for tonight's game against Milwaukee. Also out: Tre Johnson (hip flexor), Corey Kispert (thumb) and Sharife Cooper (calf). But Will Riley (sacral contusion) will be able to play.
