Why isn’t Theis playing? is it now a civil war on Theis? — Will S
According to Brian Robb:
Against the Bucks front line that is focused on packing the paint, shooting is a top priority and that’s something that Theis can’t provide much of from the perimeter reliably (14 percent from 3 in his postseason career). He also is giving up a lot in the size and strength department to the likes of Giannis, Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez so Ime Udoka is understandably going with superior options on that front in Al Horford, Rob Williams and Grant Williams.
If foul trouble or another injury arises among the bigs, Theis could quickly become a factor again in the right matchup. However, with Udoka preferring to go with a short rotation, it’s hard to see him get more meaningful minutes in this Bucks series as Rob Williams looks closer to 100 percent.

I don't have a problem with Theis not playing! It wouldn't bother me if Smart missed another game either!! More time for Pritchard!

Good question.
Theis is our second best offensive rebounder by far. Smart is playing his'' smartest'' basketball in years.
Prichard is playing at all star level on offense his per is a team high 10.88.
Prichard also is by far and away our best defensive guard.
Does any of this post makes sense? Just the first line

Can we read into being up by mostly 10 pts the whole last game without Smart playing. The biggest factor, I feel, to that victory was getting 21 points from G. Williams. But other factors....they shot 3-18 or 17% for 3s while we shot 20 for 43 or 47% for 3s. They seemed to dare us to toss up 3s. If so, we ‘ll need hit them again as they did dominate points in the paint 54 to 24. Yet amazingly with their height advantage we out rebounded them 40-37 and another key to more possessions they had 16 TOs to our 11. Can we expect the same offensive production for G. Williams. Hopefully, Smart will give us 10-15 pts. Horford 10-15 .We need Prichard to give us at least 10 and it would be nice to get 10 pts from White. He did give us 5 assists but made 2 TOs. He was 0-6 shooting with no points. Water under the bridge but I’d rather have had Schroder!!! Tatum & Brown...40-50 pts combined hopefully.

Reserve guard George Hill will be active for the first time this postseason after recovering from an abdominal strain.
The 36-year-old guard has been a reliable weapon off the bench for Mike Budenholtzer in past postseasons and could give the Bucks the option of downsizing with more 3-point shooting on the floor. Hill has shot 38 percent from 3 in his career.

I'm hoping this is the game where we see Rwill fully himself. 4 more days off to recover.

Grayson Allen to start. They're in effect going small. They're worried about a slow shooting start

Bucks will start Allen with Giannis, Matthews, Holiday & Lopez ... Portis will come off bench

This is such a key game. First of all, it would give us 2 in a row but beating them on their home court gives us back home court advantage.

Like our couple of points in the paint baskets. Last game it was 54 to 24 their favor.
