Doc Rivers' lineup switch immediately exposed as blunder

Since Kevin Porter Jr.'s return, Ryan Rollins has not been quite the same force. Porter has established himself as the clear leader and primary engine of the Milwaukee Bucks' offense. Rollins has worked to make himself useful off the ball, but his overall effectiveness has faded. To maximize each point guard's contributions, Doc Rivers decided to try Rollins off the bench against Toronto. While he may have had the right idea, the strategy quickly proved to be a blunder. Please, Doc, don't do this again.

Benching Rollins was not the 'spark' Bucks needed

With Kyle Kuzma inactive due to illness, Thursday night probably wasn't the best time to split up the exciting Porter-Rollins duo.
