Like yeah i get the math strategy, but i don't think Giannis and Midds jacking up shot with a 15% chance of going in and then get the back back with 3 seconds for a heave is really maximizing our possessions.

As Stan Van Gundy says, when you do a 2-1 you usually end up taking 2 bad shots.

just got to see the last few minutes, and I see khris is still struggling. Is he dealing with an injury? The reason I wonder is because he looks so much different than in the beginning of the year when he was a lot quicker.

Horrible four point attempts, step back fades, Middleton ISO on Zing and thinks trying a long two off the dribble over him is a good possession? Maybe I have overestimated the BBIQ of our team. Or maybe they just don’t know what the **** they are doing without Giannis.

I feel like I've said this 20 times this season, the Bucks too often look like a bunch of random dudes at the Y playing a pick-up game.

Fundamentally streaky.

He hasn't been moving great since that thigh (hamstring?) tweak from a couple of weeks back.

Khris isn’t nearly as effective without the gravity of Giannis on the court. That’s just how it is. He’s still a very good two way player but he relies a lot more on the talent around him to get him those high efficiency looks he gets

No doubt Khris benefits immensely from Giannis's gravity (like everyone else), but Khris isn't particularly reliant on open looks. The biggest drags on his offensive game are ball pressure, and then whatever happens when he's like this.

Middleton and Luka both arguing with the ref over the same call. Welcome to today's NBA.

Brook had a much easier look there than that weird ass reverse.

You would think Khris’ weakness of ball handling under pressure is why we got Jrue, but we still ask Khris to do way more than he should be.

Again Donte jumped onto Doncic's left side and gave him an easy drive to his strong hand. What are we doing?

Refs are on one here.

Feels like we should be playing through Holiday more. More Teague please too.

Was just thinking to myself. Today’s NBA players are so incredibly unlikable and bitchy compared to when I was a kid. It has become the equivalent of soccer players flopping in pain I’ll just try to be happy that our guys aren’t too bitchy but kind of feel like it is really bad for the long term interest of the game for stars to be this diva.

We should trade for Luka.

blazza18 · Post #138 » by **blazza18** » Fri Apr 9, 2021 2:32 am

Think we've responded well after every couple of bad possessions.

I don't know how Midds only has one turnover. The stat people must love him.

Serious question, will Thanasis be offered a contract from another team this off-season?

Luka is such a great player. I can't stand watching him cry/gloat every game.
