They are pretty balanced..
Last night once again nobody over 30 minutes..
7 players over 20 minutes..
The Freak played <1/2 the game and scored 29 ( albeit vs Cavs)..
Playing as a team right now..

Everyone <30 minutes..

I should have asked on Friday because you threw me off with the less than 30 minutes post.

On Friday, Middleton played 35 minutes so I thought you meant something else and I just missed it.

Middelton's played a couple games over 30 and a straggler here and there but you are right, many games go by where no one plays more that 30.

It definitely seems like the game plan when you look back.

Sorry man..
Don't know how I misread that..
Yeah, he played 35 Friday..
They are playing good team ball and jelling with each other..

I'm actually glad you brought up the minutes.

I'm going to run a little meta analysis on team player minutes. There are a lot factors that go into mainly because each team is so different.

But what's more effective? The ability to ball all around as a team or having a couple of players dominate the ball and play time?

Not sure if it can be answered.

With the Bucks, I wonder if they'll need Giannis to step up later in the season or just the post season. That could be negative overall for the Bucks. When you meet a team that has been relying on a couple of stars, your own star may have to step up.

Just throwing some thoughts and ideas on my line of thinking there.

My thinking is its a Win-Win..
Come May maybe their bodies aren't as banged up and since nobody has a great deal of minutes everyone has played together significantly throughout the year..
I dunno..
Just makes sense to me..
I haven't run any numbers on it..
Might do so after the New Year..

If bucks keep up the pace and smash everyone and gs record but don't get out of the east when teams clog up the paint and triple team giannis will he leave or demand trade? Doesn't feel like this team is better than last year's unless giannis turns into super hulk since he already hulk right now

They were 2 games away from getting out of the East last year.

The only thing that stood in their way was Kawhi Leonard.

He's not in Toronto anymore.

But there's a long way to go and much can happen I suppose.

I agree.

The trend across the league anyway is to rest these guys and not have them so banged up, especially the stars.

It seems like Milwaukee is mastering the game plan for the full season press...for lack of a better way to put it lol.

I love the new terms, like "Load Management"...

Yeah..
Have to constantly put a name to common sense strategy..
Thing that caught my eye was Giannis played just under 24 minutes last night and scored 29..
6 in double figures, nobody over 30 minutes and they won by 17..
Granted it was Cleveland but it's a good game plan..
Allows others to pick up the slack due to injury or just a bad game..

Luka Donkic Mavericks, didn't travel with the team for their game against the Bucks. He may be out for up to 2 weeks.

I don't think the line even budged as he was moved from questionable to out.

lol.

I can't wait to laugh at budenholzer in the playoffs.

Yeah, to me it doesn't seem like a system that will get through the playoffs.

At one point, he'll need to do things with his players that he hasn't done all season, it' will be necessary.

Seems like that never works out well in the NBA unless there is some yet to be discovered all star on the team who steps up in the playoffs.

That said, I took the -11 tonight.

Not my favorite play, but it's locked in...

The KVB NBA ATS/ML Fund has picked up...

588

16-Dec

MIL -11 (-105)
