Bobby has been better than Brook, by a country mile.

Yeah I'm not letting Bobby stay in to be our rim protector, dude might as well be 6 foot next to the rim. Dame/Bev/Khris/AJJ/Brook was the winning lineup yesterday


The only bad stretch with Bobby was the minutes Malik played. Bucks defended awesome playing zone with Bobby. Turner has destroyed Brook.

Well **** sounds like a dilemma. Looks like we need Giannis healthy to play optimal :reporter:

I agree with that. Giannis fixes everything

I’ve watched Brook Lopez become practically unplayable in the playoffs the last three years. Watching him not defend Turner at the 3 point line while also not rebounding the ball has been the worst yet. We’re watching him miss layups against guards and complain about non foul calls for 20 minutes a night.

Very inciteful

With Jrue it worked because he gobbled up boards.

Really good point. Now we have Khris trying to outjump 23 year old dudes for rebounds and its ugly. They just take Bobby out to the perimeter and we have no chance of getting defensive rebounds. With AJJ instead this gets flipped on its head because dude is hyper athletic and active


Unfortunately, as we seem in previous games, there's no rebounds to gather because Bobby is the only player who can match with Siakim.

AJJ should play, but your not fixing anything by replacing the guy who just got 18 rebounds.

Great, Doc. Way to stumble into that realization.


The crazy move here for Sunday assuming Giannis is out would be start Green and AJJ. Bring Bobby and Bev off the bench. I think both of those two may be more valuable off the bench. I just love a good starting lineup shakeup in the middle of a playoff series. I think it could work
Almost.

AJJ
Dame
AJG
Khris
Bobby

I dont know enough about basketball to know what we did differently with him in, but all of a sudden they lost their magical ability to create extreme advantages resulting in wide open shots. All of a sudden, we were the Bucks defense again.

He's gotta continue to get minutes now. Just has to.
We all noticed it, and many of us noticed it prior to Game 1 of the regular season. Pure incompetence from an organizational standpoint to pick the energy glue guy from a championship team and not incorporate him into the rotation.

Careful. These are the type of questions that will get you blocked by the frail.

That's what I was going to say. Smh.

I thought it was dumb he kept playing, and being a decoy that can't move is the reason the Pacers had 5 offensive boards on that one possession.

Sigh.

It looks like both Dame and Giannis won’t play Sunday.
Might as well rest Khris and go with the remaining 12 players in whatever order.

Hopefully the team management will tell Doc to manage the playing time of our stars better in the regular season. Else please bring Bud back as he was good with this aspect.

I’m fine shutting it down. Doc needs to be let go in the off-season though

Yup. 0-10 versus AJJ, and 1-4 versus AJG.

To think there actually used to be Beasley backers here.

Yeah. Can Giannis and Khris win games 5, 6, and 7?

Yes they can. I call that move the SupremeHustle (since I thought of it). Page 4.

If you add Beasley to that the number jumps drastically to 2-17.
