Only snatch one rebound in more than ten minutes! Are the Bucks planning to continue to let the veteran inside start?

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks who played at home 129-103. After this game, the Pacers have widened the total score of the series to 3-1, and they have also successfully won the match point; while the Bucks are in great trouble, and they are on the verge of elimination.

In this game, the Bucks' starting center Brook Lopez still performed very poorly. Lopez played 14 minutes and 56 seconds in the game, made 2 of 6 shots and 2 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line, scored 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. There were 1 turnover and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -4. Lopez's offensive efficiency is still average. As a big player, his scoring method is only outside shooting, which sounds like an incomprehensible thing. Lopez's performance on the defensive end is even worse, and his shortcomings in movement speed and athletic ability have been further amplified. However, his weaknesses in this area are also constantly exploited by his opponents. As a big center, it is incredible that it only scored 1 rebound in just over 10 minutes of playing. Lopez's performance on the court was not ideal, and his playing time was very limited. It seems that the team's coaching staff has lost trust in him.

In the NBA regular season this season, Lopez made a total of 80 appearances in 82 games, averaging 31.8 minutes per game, with averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.9 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 50.9%, three-point shooting percentage 37.3%, and free throw shooting percentage 82.6%. In the playoffs, Lopez averaged 16.5 minutes in his first four games, with averaging 5.8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.3 steals and 1.3 blocks, and 1 turnover and 2.8 fouls. He shot 38.1% from the field, 28.6% from three-point shooting percentage and 100% from free throws.

Judging from Lopez's performance in the playoffs, he is really old, and he is really not suitable to get a stable playing time in high-intensity and high-tempo games. The Bucks are in a desperate situation right now, and if they want to advance, they need to find a way to adjust the team's tactics and make the Pacers feel uncomfortable. In this case, Lopez, a tactical weakness that is visible to the naked eye, must be adjusted in the next game. If Lopez continues to play as the starter in G4, we can basically think that the Bucks chose to give up early. Logically speaking, Lopez should have been defeated for a long time and can continue to play. This situation can only happen with Doc Rivers' team.
