Effects of Team Meeting

After the team’s meeting following the loss to the Orlando Magic, it was assumed we’d see some different lineups for last night’s game. Jason Kidd lived up to it.

Obviously, Dellavedova got the start in the place of Malcolm Brogdon. The bench has been abysmal since losing Brogdon to the starting line up. It was a rough night for him as he returned to the bench scoring four points on 1-10 shooting. The President also looked to have lost some chemistry with Greg Monroe in their time away from each other.

Another line-up switch made was sitting Jason Terry for the night to give Rashad Vaughn an opportunity. In 11 minutes of play, Vaughn didn’t do much of anything putting up only a steal for the night.

The other odd men out last night were Mirza Teletovic and Miles Plumlee. Bucks fans should be used to Mirza getting the occasional night off, but it was interesting to see Miles not get off the bench after he just had one of his better performances for the season.

If the Bucks are going to end their five game skid, they’ll have to beat the Houston Rockets on Monday.
