    Silas is a ****ing stubborn coach.
    It takes 15 loss streak to let him change rotation.
    How many games will take to play Sengun 30 mins? I don’t know.

    Don’t think anyone is asking for whole game. But damn man, dude was abusing Portis, Boogie and Janice. You can’t tell me he couldn’t have helped those last 5 minutes

    Welp, it had to end sometime. Doesn't feel good watching a loss but we gave a healthy Bucks team all they could handle for most of the game.

    I truly think our guys have turned a corner--they've bought into the offense and are competing their asses off on defense. Can't wait for our injured guys to get back and unleash their potential.

    Sengun is a f*cking rockstar man, I swear. Haven't enjoyed a rookie's game this much in a long time.

    Please play Sengun more than 16 minutes in a game Silas. Cut Wood minutes until we trade him next month. Sengun needs 25 minutes at least. PRETTY PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Player development is one thing. That's exactly what he is getting, playing time. So it can't be that. You guys wanted Theis gone, he didn't even see the floor last few games. Now that's not good enough. "Play Sengun the whole game". Lol

    They are actively shopping and showcasing Wood.

    Hoping other teams would not figure out Sengün completely.

    Wood has been off the last two games. Could be all the trade chatter getting to him.

    Wood still had 21 and 13 on 9-19 shooting.

    I do hope the reporters ask him, why Sengun isn't getting to have a try at closing the game. He deserves at least that with tonight's performance.

    We had the same number of made baskets. Rockets blew it on free throws.

    Some of those threes the Bucks hit they wont hit every night. The game plan defense was right. The rebounding and the free throw line charity attempts courtesy of the soft as charmin toilet paper refs equates to a loss for our guys.

    Should have played Sengun until he fouled out.

    And Rockets really need a legit PG or backup PG.

    EGo, Augustin, Tate and Jaygup are not reliable.

    They were slinging it all over the place tonight.

    And not in good way.

    Not asking him to play the whole game, just more than 15 minutes. He was a team high 11+ tonight, and produced 1pt per minute he was out there.

    You guys are dreaming if you really expect a coach to bench his best player for a rookie. I love Sengun, I want him to get more minutes, but if you guys want that, gonna have to trade Wood.

    Tate and EGo were especially flat tonight.

    Too much iso by Tate and Wood.

    At the press conference, this is the key moment in the game that I would like to ask Coach Silas about. Here's my question: "When Giannis left the game late in the 4th, and the Bucks only had Portis in as a big man, were you tempted at all to go to Sengun for a couple of minutes? Or had he played his minutes and you knew that he was done for the night?"

    Yes....maybe the minutes were mismanaged. I don't think anyone foreseen how good he would be against the champs. We used him up. I doubt he was sitting because they though he wasn't good enough it's more likely he needed the rest. Possibly the two missed free throws. Doesn't really matter. Even if we gave Sengun the ball down the stretch he would have been tired and limited. Also he likely would have been fouled with no calls.

    Or better yet, coach better.

    Figure out how to use both of them together.
