PG Mavericks: Bucks get hot at right time

[PANDEMONEUM]

than the turnstile allowing everyone to drive past you D that Beas and Pat have been playing. That puts you in rotations. You don’t want to constantly be in rotations as it’s exhausting and it magnifies weaknesses (players making poor decisions, gambling in passing lanes, lack of lateral quickness for some, giving up offensive rebounds, and flying by on closeouts)

I think if they can find a closing lineup with Dame as the only bad defender (i.e.- one without Beas and Pat out there), they’ll be more than fine. It just looks bad right now when they close with all three on the floor.

U see and said this perfectly.
Constantly being in rotations or scrambling hurts the rebounding.

Vs small PGs and SGs, idk if Midds and Jae can defend well. Or having either of those 2 have to close out a corner 3 or wing shooter, isn't ideal either.

Maybe Pat and Beas r told to close out and run guys off the 3p line?

Another issue is Beas and Pat don’t often run people off the line. That might be the goal but Pat usually flies by so the shooter resets for a wide open three. Beas usually tries to jump passing lanes then stands and watches.

Just 6 turnovers last night. That's a winning recipe. Dame effect? Maybe, but he actually usually averages more turnovers than Jrue.

My take? Griffins offense is better than Bud's offense.

Jrue’s turnover percentage is materially higher than Dame’s. And Dame has greater usage percentage generally.

Jrue was extremely sloppy with the ball in many instances.

Like when Jrue let Lowry take the ball out of his hands in a crucial moment of a playoff game…

Dame to Pat:

I owe Pat an apology, while calling out his awful on ball D, I asked what he does above average and skipped over that he seems to be a good rebounder for his size (do the numbers match the eye test?), he’s pretty good in transition offense (Beas aint no transition genie), him and Bobby have some DHO synergy, and the keep it high release on threes is pretty much why Playoff Pat delivers in the clutch against tough close outs (and why guys like Beas and Grayson seem to shrink when the close outs come harder).
