Can't take anything out of this game... The Bucks have gone full rest mode. Their 3 best players are out geez. You can. Good game to bring back some confidence, especially shooting. Yep. Team just needs something positive too. Get some confidence back.

Having MPJ play with Monte/Plumlee is like driving a lambo 40 MPH. Dude just never gets the ball because all they do is run PnR. It's working so it's cool but man..get the kid involved a little.

I don't think Plumlee will ever get benched by Malone He is in his contract year, gotta make sure that his boy gets paid and stay. (Hint: "If everyone on our team would give us the effort Plumlee does...") type of interviews and constant mpg no matter the production (or lack off).

Grant is becoming a serious weapon. His defense lately has been insane and offensively he's just fitting so well. Dude is sooooooooooooooooooooooo good

Great effort by Barton there and everyone else gives up. The starters are pissing me off. The difference in effort between them and the bench is really noticeable. Just pretend like you care guys jeez

Jokic really needs to man up again. Get your lazy ass in the damn post.

Is there a journalist in Denver that can ask fatman straight up what the f**k is wrong with him?

Is there a journalist in Denver that can ask fatman straight up what the f**k is wrong with him? The more i think about it the more i think it's some sort of "Millsap" factor. I am lazy atm to check it, but i think that his FGA and PPG is way lower when Millsap is in the starting lineup. Also, we are not running plays for Jokic at the elbow to open the game like before and he is back to being "DHO crash dummy" behind 3 point line. Just like to start the season. This starting lineup problem is that nobody can't cr8 plays that will give Jokic a MM in the post and due to the snail pace (Because of Millsap) there is no free flow offense = Jokic must go up for high PnP because PnR is not an option with Millsap in the dunk spot (crowded paint). Solution? Start Grant, have Millsap as 6th man.

Has nothing to do with anything other than Jokic not wanting to go in the post.
Probably just trying to rest his body before playoff time. Posting up and being as aggressive as he was wears you down fast.

I love Jokic and we owe him alot so it's hard to go at him for anything but Jokic just doesn't have the 100% full time superstar mentality. As long as he shows up in the playoffs you can survive it. He's such an elite player in terms of all around ability you can get past it as well. Atleast he's doing other things when uninterested in scoring. At the end of the day it's the difference between him being an MVP contender and someone who could actually win an MVP award. Even when guys like Giannis/LeBron/Harden etc. coast they can put in 18-22 points like it's nothing.

Posting up and being as aggressive as he was wears you down fast. Yea, maybe that is the case also. Not saying 100% i am right. But there is a lot of "similarities" in his game post ASB with healthy starting lineup just like it was to start the season. Weather he is "load managing" himself, trying to facilitate more, or he is just "disgruntled" playing with this lineup at this pace...we can only guess.

He really has to start getting more vocal though. Demand the ball. Seal your man. The reason why we keep struggling is because we're relying on our lesser players. Jokic has the ball and is aggressive we score 24/7. He has to stop being mentally checked out.

Sorry Ring, but as much as Jokic is to blame for that our guard trio of Murray/Garris/Barton is the same. If you are not able to give a simple entry pass to your best player and know that you are the best when you play thru him...then i don't know.

He was 5 for 8 so he's got lots of space to keep shooting and still have good FG%. His stats first then team. If we play like this we'll be out in first round

Jokic doesn't want to score so he's not scoring. Nothing else to read into. We've seen it before and we'll see it again. Nothing is stopping him from going in the post and attacking. He just doesn't want to do it. We'll have to deal with this every year. It's just what Jokic is. Nobody else is to blame.
