I feel like any time they are down two, it has to be Dame/Giannis Pick and Roll, with AJ, Lopez and Trent/Prince around the 3 point line. At worst its a wide open three for one of those guys.

The Bucks fell behind in the 1st quarter when Dame and Giannis took turns going iso, with zero ball movement. No points and virtually no shots for any other team mates.

Then KPJ came in and it was the same story, different scorer.

The Bucks are easy to defend when one player holds the ball and probes for a way to get an iso bucket. When that is the offense, it really doesn't matter who the other starters are.

97-95 we were giving it to them really hard on a 13-0 run and Doc subs in Lillard for Green. Wish we would have stuck with the same lineup another minute or two.

I don’t feel confident against any physical defensive orientated team, like there is enough individual talent and shooting to overcome that sometimes but I don’t see that working out in the playoffs over a 7 game series when refs like to swallow their whistles. Lopez, Kuzma, and Dame in our starting line up; smart coaches must love game planning against a team like ours.

Unfortunately that is seeds 1-3 in the east.
