Bucks enter the 4th up 18.
They were top 23 at one point. Bud takes timeout - Nwora screws up.
The next possession - DDV with a wild turnover.
The last possession - Nwora steps out of bounds.
Pretty typical for those two.

Now down to 14 as another screwup by DDV gets them in trouble.
Come on, get him out.
Bucks about to blow this.
Only up 11.
Given up an 11-2 run in less than 4 minutes.
That's why you can't give minutes to guys like Nwora. All those empty possession kill you.
We are pretty spoiled. Bench players are bench players.
Iâd say there a greater than 50% chance that Nwora or DDV are traded by end of week.
DDV has had several years to show what he can do. Which is play scrappy defense, rebound, and make the occasional flashy play. But heâs not a good passer, canât hit the outside shot consistently, and is absolutely terrible finishing at or near the rim. On a bad team, he might be your 4th option but heâs an end of bench guy on this team.
Nwora is a tease in that heâll go crazy from 3 one night, then go 1-8 the very next game. He also doesnât make good decisions, but whatâs most disappointing about him is heâs capable of being an average defender. Yet the effort isnât there at all.
The Bucks could use another big and another reliable scoring threat off the bench so Iâm thinking Horst will make a move and one if not both of those guys are gone.

You have a good point. I was just so frustrated watching them build a 25 point lead and instead of putting them away at the end of the third so that the 4th quarter could be extended Thanasis/Semi/Ligginton minutes, they end up keeping them just enough in it so that Giannis and company have to play another 10 minutes.
As Crusher says, they are bench players for a reason, but it's one thing to execute and just miss a shot. The problem was the mental mistakes. Nwora and DDV had 2-3 careless turnovers in a two minute stretch including Nwora stepping out of bounds at the 3 point line and DDV doing one of his patented "drive into the lane and jump without having any idea what he was going to do" moves. Then, they let Powell get off wide open 3s because of miscommunications on defense. The best was when Bud called timeout, set up a play, and then Giannis threw a no-look pass out of bounds because Nwora was in the wrong spot (off a timeout!!)
It's the NBA, watch the last 2 minutes to save your nerves.
