We were fortunate enough that we made some pretty important threes but yeah it was a total mess with just Giannis out there. As I said in the GT we gotta find one more ball handler/shot creator from somewhere because you need at least 4 guys on the floor now that can create against these top defences.

Biggest takeaway is seeing the team enjoying themselves and being locked in. Cup, schmup.

Yes. So many possessions where Dame/Giannis are clearly exhausted, we spend 15 seconds dribbling in place, have a near turnover after a panic pass and throw up a terrible shot (with no one in place for an offensive rebound) Just absolutely wasting possessions. We’re not going to get away with that garbage against Boston.

What’s frustrating is that when we’re purposeful about getting into our actions quickly we normally get good shots. But if the defense only has to defend for 8 seconds instead of 20, and you do that 5-10 times a game more than what is necessary, you’re going to drown in bad math over time.

And yes we need an extra creator. Unfortunately we also need a versatile big man. That’s 2 pretty big needs with very few ways of addressing them.

OKC has a better defense than Boston by quite a large margin
At a party given by a billionaire, Kurt Vonnegut informs Joseph Heller that their host had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his novel Catch-22.

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — ENOUGH.”

Yes the 4th quarter offense struggled. In part because we were gassed from playing great defense.

Enjoy a 16 point win against a very good team.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Giannis is the versatile big. We need a 4, and ball handling/playmaking. Dalano Banton checks all the boxes.

Just pure happiness. The whole team played their hearts out. It was so good to see Brook with that big smile after the win; I remember him saying 50 piece after we won the Nba championship with that same smile. Feel sorry that Khris wasn’t there but he was surely there in spirit. The tight hug of Dame and Giannis filled my heart and so did the way Giannis called out to Thanasis as his first action of joy after winning the match. Also thrilled that every Bucks player will get so much money. Felt good for Marjon. Never saw Dame smiling so much. And Giannis celebrating was the ultimate joy to watch. Go Bucks!!!!

they just handily beat the best team in the NBA, won the NBA Cup, and have won something like 10 of 12 but we are going to nit pick offensive sets in a quarter they had a 20 point lead.

Only one other team has ever won the nba cup. Cant believe the bucks pulled it off.

Now the complaining about the criticism lol. Winning was awesome but we got an entire season and hopefully a deep playoff run to come.

Doc both had them well prepared, and adjusted quickly.

It just absolutely blows for us/him that Rollins got injured right as he was starting to crack the rotation.
