I have to stop watching early, but Allen is going crazy on both ends

They started the game w lots of off-ball Mitchell actions and ran legit plays for Allen post-ups

Crazy how 1 bad quarter can just tank the whole game, looks like they came outta the half flat.

I legitimately cannot believe they upheld that foul call on Allen on our home court. I suspect the Bucks were surprised by it. Then, of course, Dame runs into Mitchell on the next play and gets rewarded. The Cavs really need to be one of those teams who shove back.

I hear Draymond Green is available, lmao

Two stats that stick out to me are...

Bucks had 28 FTA vs Cavs 9 FTA

Bucks shot 41% from deep (29 attempts) vs Cavs 14% from deep (43 attempts)

Also, just saw that was Allen's career high in points last night so kudos to him!

Bucks turned it up in the second half as top team is expected to do. JBB of course takes CPJ out of the starting lineup.

It would be nice to get some home cooking from the refs, but we might need someone who can draw fouls consistently more than we need a long 3&D.

Would be cool if someone thought that was a priority in Isaac's development. He has the frame and the mindset to attack the rim, just lacks the tricks of the trade.

The free throw disparity in our own building is getting very old. We're a good defensive team and I struggle to think of another good defensive team that is officiated this way on their home court. You're not flopping your way to 10 unearned free throws in Miami or Boston.

Should check with fans of unproven defensive teams like Orlando and Houston.
