If you get roughly the same version of Khris that we got from December through the Suns game where he got undercut (**** KD), and can infuse his shooting/playmaking into some of the trashy bench units, sheesh.

Post-Griffin firing, 4 of the top 7 4-man lineups in the NBA have Beasley in them.

We were never winning another championship with Jrue, he had to go. Even better we got Dame.

Why do you say that? We lost to Boston without Middleton and Miami without Gianni’s. The only time we were healthy we won the entire thing.

Also, turns out the “Pat isn’t an NBA player anymore” board hyperbole was always just that. Amazing what even baseline competent level coaching can do.

Pat is a wait and see. One game doesn’t undo the last year

But 40-games under a trash head coach undoes his entire Bucks career of being a top-tier playoff role-player? K

Jrue is a "star" who became neutral in the playoffs for us. We were lucky to win one with him, then the roster was getting older and Jrue being bad in the playoffs shined that much more. Saw this the entire last season he was with us

Jrue isn't good anymore. Unloading him was super lucky. Simply a bonus that we got Dame too

Jrue isn't that player anymore.

Pat's stats are actually significantly better this year than last year lmao.

Pat is actually starting to put together a decent season, should be happy that he is trending up. Super solid month from him, just a good 8th man type but that's what we expect.

It’s not that we replaced jrue with dame. If jrue stayed on Portland hell yeah. But he didn’t. Did we get better having dame as our number 2 than the Celtics did by replacing smart with jrue as their number 4?

I used to want the Bucks to trade for Hield but I haven't been impressed with him the last few times I've seen him play. Hield for $24 million or Beas for the vet min, easy choice. Even straight up I'd rather have Beas. He's a good fit for this team.

We miss KM as an opener and especially when Giannis or Dame is on the bench.. rn we are relying too much on Bobby at those times which is good when it's good but he had some butterfinger moments too

Why are we talking about an ex-player in our PG? A positive one at that? Y'all, take a **** breath.

P.S. Good game, good game.

Dame too!

Start time was in the game thread title.

I know I'm just being a dunce. I had both kids alone this weekend and barely checked my phone at all.

Hield has been a malcontent through his career. I never wanted him. Today's game solidified that for me

Have to give Doc and his crew credit. They have these guys playing defense. They have done an almost 180 on that end.

Why would you post this in a post game thread? Coward.

This was a very nice win. I think spending half the season without playing much defense might give this team relatively fresh legs come playoff time. Doc's point about conditioning suggests they're still not quite there, which is fine in February.

Now let Philly drop to 8 and have Embiid come back for the 8-1 matchup to soften up the Celtics and I'll like our chances. We're better than the Celtics with a healthy Middleton.

Easy work. Hubie and Pasch on the call. Bobby with an all-timer open mic quote.

Enjoyable afternoon tilt all around.
