Everybody is coming back.   

It’s a much different team and better IMO 

The coaching has definitely improved and one thing “Bud” did well in ATL was develop the younger players.  If he can work his magic on guys like Maker and DD they should be in good shape. 

Ersan and Lopez give them a new dimension with their ability to step out and shoot the 3.   That should spread the floor and allow for Bledsoe and Giannis to wreak havoc off the dribble and make more plays or get to the line more often.

I don’t know if they’ve solved their defense or rebounding issues but they have a glut of players at the 5 spot so perhaps they make a deal to improve in that area? 

Low key additions in Lopez, Connaughton, and Ersan but I like what they bring with experience and 3 pt potential. Was frustrating to see Giannis get doubled, or tripled, with no outlet threat. 

Bud is the key. They should be able to compete in the East if the defense and rebounding gets better. 

I just hope Bud can get the stink off of Bledsoe.  That was brutal. 

It won’t take long to reveal just how bad Jason Kidd was coaching this team. Rotations, offensive/defensive scheme, use of Giannis... Budenholzer simply needs to appear competent to far surpass Kidd/Prunty.

Budenholzer got the best out of Teague and Schroeder... Bledsoe is more talented than both of them.

Yes. When the rest of the league was scheming ways to maximize the number of open attempts for corner 3s, Jason Kidd was scheming defensive rotations to maximize giving that shot up.

And amazingly that wasn't the stupidest strategy he devised. The stupidest by far (and perhaps the stupidest coaching move in any sport I've ever seen) was ordering guys to miss a FT up by 3 because he was scared of giving up 4 point plays. That's like something out of The Onion.

After 2 games - it's very clear the Bucks finally have a real coaching staff. They should crush the Knicks tonight

I had a dream.....

Klay Thompson Kevin Durant wins another title this year in Golden St....then he comes to Milwaukee to play with Giannis as GSW can't afford him.

Dare to dream in 2019.....

I’ve said this for a while now I’d love for Klay to channel his fathers Midwestern connection and come to Milwaukee.  Boris if you can convince Durant to come instead I think they will oblige.
