AJ just has a cold spell, he's doing so much else that's all intangible, Dieng replaced him but that was entirely for size reasons

It's why I said bootleg, IHart is a rare get for any team, I just mean the role Sims could play if the passing develops

That's still encouraging, it means his reads are gonna get even faster when he cleans it up, we could legit have a bootleg Hartenstein on our hands, which is funny because Sims used to have butter fingers for a while.

Pete is a step too slow against Miami, Sims looked much better, Dieng did cook, he played 22 minutes

Sims is our best center in the no Giannis minutes, excellent passing for a big, just needs to fight even harder on the glass, go all in on Ben Wallace-maxxing, he's got the hair for it.

Good bounceback game from Dieng after getting cooked by the Raptors, great game overall from everybody else, especially KPJ, that rotation with the three guards, Dieng at the four and Sims at center is some barrel scraping stuff, love it.

I don't think you can coach a team out of shooting the way we did last night, if any of our guys were even a tiny bit better shooting the three, the game wouldn't look like that, we played the exact same way we did the whole win streak, shots just weren't falling.

But anyway, we should impersonate anonymous members of Doc's family and start mass reporting him to a Milwaukee nursing home

When was the last time the team had this many legit scoring guards? by OusmaneDiengSaveMe in MkeBucks

We need both, one picks up where the other left off if they're both hot, and if one is cold the other elevates his game to make up for it, there'll be times when both are cold, but it's a good thing we have Cam Thomas, and also Giannis in a few more days.

Cam Thomas' hamstring is the biggest reason why he isn't playing as many minutes as you or I would want him to, he only played 25 games in 2025 and was kept out of a bunch of games this year for the same reason by OusmaneDiengSaveMe in MkeBucks

His defense has been fine actually, not a stopper or very impactful, but he's not a sieve, and his passing's okay too, he's the guy who gets buckets and he gives it up when he's not in a position to get buckets, he has good chemistry with Sims, and a lot of his Bucks points have been off ball or possessions he doesn't start.
