Choosing Kuzma over Ingram.
I don't think they chose Kuzma over Ingram. Ingram was the top prize for New Orleans in that trade. Pretty sure the trade doesn't get done if the Lakers don't include Ingram.
Choosing Kuzma over Ingram.
I might be reading this wrong so I just want to clarify. Are you trying to insinuate that the Lakers trade for Anthony Davis wasn't a good move for the Lakers?
Just saying it may not have been the better long term move....paid off last year but could be a lot of lean years the rest of his tenure in LA. And if he continues to be as fragile as he was this year, then definitely was not the better move long term.
He certainly wasn't the issue yesterday. Doc's insistence on all-bench units, and attempting to stick Danny Green one-on-one defensively against Trae Young were the main problems. He just got out-coached. And now their margin-for-error is razor thin with a critical Game 2 coming up and Embiid on just one day's rest after playing 38 minutes.But hey, Embiid came out with Triple H tho
It feels like their offense is just having a shooting slump while getting good looks (though the Nets have been defending well). But their defense has been awful, giving up an uncontested three every other possession.
The Bucks could have used Bogdanovich, huh?
Poor Mike Budenholzer.
There's believing in your system, and then there's just plain old stubbornness. Dude's going to be looking for a job by next week
playoff shooting slumps seem to be a feature, not a bug, in the coach bud system.
I'm totally ok with this. I was willing to give him this year to see if he could take the Bucks further with a different roster. He's definitely not up for the task so it's time to bring Phil Jackson out of retirement and get Giannis his ring already.
ahhhhhh you don't want that (although Giannis would be a deadly triangle post player).
Jax has lost his fastball.
Bucks either need to go all in and supercharge this offense with a guy like d'antoni (which i think would be a mistake but might provide slightly better results because the traditional d'antoni offense has more movement than Bud's) OR go the complete opposite direction and transition into a team that tries to bludgeon you to death. maybe this is where jeff van gundy makes his return.
the way bud uses giannis works wonders in the regular season, but it's predictable and easy to game plan for in the post season. the EXACT same thing used to happen to him in Atlanta. Great regular season, terrible post season.
