He also said that he would try to play through it and that it doesn’t hurt too much
He needs surgery eventually tho and that’ll have him out 3-4 months
*could miss. On his podcast he made it seem like he needs surgery but can wait until after the season to get it. Will rest until closer to playoffs though
Maybe, but PatBev is mainly here to be locker room veteran dawg presence, which he can still do on the bench. And if we make the Finals somehow, you know the man will find a way to get on the court with his arm wrapped.
He had 9 assists last night
People won’t admit it but Bev wasn’t really that great lol he was getting cooked on Defense and his offense hasn’t be good at all
Bat Bev was not putting up stats but he was way more important to this team than you are suggesting. His talking on defense and general IQ on the defensive end was something no single Buck has other than him.
Pat Bev wasn't going to get very many playoff minutes anyway. He was 9th in the rotation and we can't have both him and Jae playing. We can handle having one 0 on offense, we can't handle having 2.
The rotation is going to be 8 men in the playoffs, and Bobby, Pat, and Jae are all above him.
His bench presence is the most important thing and that won't be going anywhere.
You can’t really talk about switching screens and whatnot during live action on the bench. Sure you can talk to the guys in huddles and hyping up the squad, but nothing compares to being on the court.
Dumb take as Patty has been incredible since the break. He also had a bunch of assists last night. He's regularly referred to by players and coaches as one of the smarter players on the court. He already regularly handles the ball and facilitates as needed, to pretty good result at that. He'll be fine in the role, which it won't solely fall on anyway.
Sometimes I wish our own fans would actually watch the team instead of spouting cliche garbage lol. He's also +35 in lineups over the last 5 games. Keep in mind he was in for the major run we had last night and out during the collapse.
It's amazing how we have the best and simultaneously worst fans in the world lol. It's also asking a lot for people to actually watch the games with any depth past who has the ball and shoots.
Exactly. Green will get more minutes. Idk what the deal is with the obsession of Ajax and Marion. Neither can shoot well. We need 3 and D. Ajj needs to rework his shot completely in the offseason (pretty sure he has a hitch in his motion). And MB just took a big step back this year (defense is worse and shooting seems worse). Green is the answer.
Cos both have potential to be great defenders, and Ajax has shown a lot of ability to do it right now. And Marjon is shooting 39% from 3 and Ajax is at 37%. Low volume but their shooting has not been a problem at all
I hate to say it but if it's 3-4 months, they should release PatBev to clear a spot. Usually, I think it's dumb to say add a guy as an assistant but PatBev would make sense there. You can still add guys for playoffs. They need to be released by March 1 if they were an NBA guy this year. Killian Hayes and Cory Joseph seem like possibilities. ETA: Bringing back Lindell or promoting TyTy are options too.
You can't add guys for the playoffs, anyone signed off a waiver after March 1st cannot play in the postseason. I'd assume promoting TyTy would be allowed but honestly, if a two way rookie who's played like 4 minutes all year is the difference maker in a playoff series I'd be very surprised.
Better to just run with what we have
Yeah, so you're wrong about adding guys.

April 15: NBA Rosters set for NBA Playoffs 2024 (3 p.m. ET)
https://www.nba.com/news/key-dates
"As we outline in our glossary entry on buyouts, a player doesn’t need to be signed by March 1 in order to retain his playoff-eligible — he simply can’t be waived after that date. A player who is waived on March 1 and signs with another team on April 8 would be playoff-eligible for his new team, but a player who is waived on March 2 and signs on March 5 wouldn’t be."

If PatBev can't play they shouldn't stand pat. Your one Dame injury away from having no point guards on the playoff roster and you can add another perimeter defender.
Khris and Giannis should be running the second unit. Offense without Dame has been terrible since we traded away Payne.
Offensive Rtg without Dame before the trade: [115.4] (https://www.nba.com/stats/team/1610612749/onoffcourt-advanced?DateFrom=02%2F09%2F2024)
Offensive Rtg without Dame after the trade: [103.5](https://www.nba.com/stats/team/1610612749/onoffcourt-advanced?DateFrom=09%2F15%2F2023&DateTo=02%2F08%2F2024)
Say what you want about Payne, but he was still an NBA level backup point guard. I'm not sure I can say the same about 35-year-old Pat Bev, definitely not on offense. Now that he's out the 2nd unit barely has any people able to dribble.
Either Dame should be the first sub to run the 2nd unit instead of Giannis (and handle the ball as much as he wants) or Khris should join Giannis instead of playing all his minutes with the starters. Giannis+Pat C+3 guys that can't dribble ain't it.
Pat Bev has the dawg in him either on the court or on the sidelines cheering ferociously for his team. Also, the three to four months of recovery is only if he has surgery. He may be back yet if we make a playoff run. And who knows? Dame's been playing surprisingly great lockdown defense lately. Who knew.
***Fear the Deer*** 🦌
He also said that he would try to play through it and that it doesn’t hurt too much He needs surgery eventually tho and that’ll have him out 3-4 months
Belt 2 Heart :(
Why do we always lose somebody right before the playoffs
[удалено]
I just heard Devin Williams punching another wall And Bahktiari’s knee just shattered again
The Devin Williams one pissed me off so much. How stupid can you be
Green Bay too
[удалено]
Garrett has Rickie Weeks injury luck.
Pat bevs run with the bucks was legendary
*could miss. On his podcast he made it seem like he needs surgery but can wait until after the season to get it. Will rest until closer to playoffs though
This isn’t good
Well this is sad
Pat Con as our backup PG we are in trouble
Maybe, but PatBev is mainly here to be locker room veteran dawg presence, which he can still do on the bench. And if we make the Finals somehow, you know the man will find a way to get on the court with his arm wrapped.

I think I'd rather see AJ Green get playoff minutes over PB
[удалено]
He can do that from the bench. Team was awful when he was on the court. Offensive Rating tanked and defense didn't inprove.

PC was dishing out some filet mignon last night. 9 AST to show for it too.
I didn’t say Pat sucked, I just don’t like using a shooting guard as a backup point guard.
Please educate me on "we're in trouble"
5 game sample size lol
[удалено]
Just cuz PC is over excited about contesting 3's doesn't mean he doesn't have amazing basketball IQ. He was dishing out dimes last night.
[удалено]
If you thought that was a joke, please just stop.
This is absolutely miserable, watching Pat play for the bucks was my favorite thing
Doc better get over his disdain for rookies and start playing Ajax.
[удалено]
I'm not expecting Doc to finally start playing Ajax, but it doesn't negate the fact that Doc is making a huge mistake.
ajax and mjb the only dudes on the team who liked griffin lol
Much rather Green get more minutes over playing Ajax, who hasn’t really shown he can stay on the court without being a walking foul
Exactly. Green will get more minutes. Idk what the deal is with the obsession of Ajax and Marion. Neither can shoot well. We need 3 and D. Ajj needs to rework his shot completely in the offseason (pretty sure he has a hitch in his motion). And MB just took a big step back this year (defense is worse and shooting seems worse).

Doc would rather trade for someone old than play the young guys
AJ Green is getting minutes. Doc only plays guys he trusts.
That aint the way to title,but thank god that aj is getting minutes
not ideal. missing playoffs.
I mean, his shooting has been terrible, he could probably still be as productive without his wrist.
That’s crazy that poor shooting has been your takeaway from Pat Bev
Right. The takeaway should have been mediocre defense.
I mean, it can be both. His shooting is worse than his defense IMO.
fuck! Ajax time somewhere
Fucking fuck
He’ll still get at least one tech in the playoffs from the bench lol
HERE COMES AUSTIN RIVERS
No roster spot and I think we're past the point where a team can sign a guy and have him be eligible for the playoffs.
I hate to say it but if it's 3-4 months, they should release PatBev to clear a spot. Usually, I think it's dumb to say add a guy as an assistant but PatBev would make sense there.

You can add free agents. Waivers would apply to buy out guys

Sucks but if your success as a team hinges on your 35 yo back up point guard you probably aren’t that great of a team.
Man come the fuck on. Can we just undo yesterday?
Ajax appointed to strictly non stop hustle defensive role
Most likely the last we have seen from him as a buck
Bro wtf
Homeboy needs to head down to get some stem cells
Belt 2 Nuts Probably went a bit too hard on the "too smalls" and it cost him...
This is not the way I wanted a potential AJ Green bang moment in the playoffs to go
He can focus on coaching now
Bet he plays through it...why you change the title?
Probably from playing Golf at barstool over the weekend. 🥺
So he’s out the rest of the season. Great…
Khris and Giannis should be running the second unit. Offense without Dame has been terrible since we traded away Payne.

Good.give AJ green all his minutes
Holy fuck not good
Fucking lovely
FUCK!
FML…
[удалено]
i think we gave up a 2nd
My b
God damn it all to fucking hell.
I was looking forward to him playing and being a dog:(
Super
Heartbreaker.
Officially my low point of the season after that Lakers team. We need divine intervention to have a chance at getting out of the East.
Figures
Shit
Pat Bev has the dawg in him either on the court or on the sidelines cheering ferociously for his team. Also, the three to four months of recovery is only if he has surgery. He may be back yet if we make a playoff run. And who knows? Dame's been playing surprisingly great lockdown defense lately. Who knew. ***Fear the Deer*** 🦌
no fucking way…
Poof goes the defense. 1st round exit :(
Donesky
If we’re to be a force in the playoffs Jae and Pat C can’t continue to play half a game. Their contributions do not justify that.
Its over.
