Giannis out practicing free throws, I like that

[Coach Carter]

It's funny, I saw Gianni in the post and/or attacking from the elbow draw 3-4 straight fouls or score. They don't have one defender who can contain him around the paint, I'd run down screens to either block and watch Miami double. Keep up the same defensive intensity and the 3-pt shooting for Miami should* regress.

No bud wants giannis at the top of the key

[soxperry]

well, i put the rest of the money in my gambling account on Miami at -120 to win this one. It's over guys. I dont want that, but i know this team very very well and we got incredibly lucky to be down 6 right now.. unless Miami just has a collective nervous breakdown we have zero shot.

[Magic Giannison]

We shot 21 Fts this half and we are down 6, no bueno....

Also, wtf happen to our 3 point shooting ?

Only 2.5% below our average. We just aren’t good

Damn, it feels weird other teams make double the 3s than us who were suppose t have good shooters and let it fly mentality .

[raysbookclub]

Miami has 4 turnovers, we're just not making them uncomfortable.

Yes, they're too comfortable, confident, so no turnovers and high shooting %age. They're getting to all their spots, not just shooting spots, but as they run their plays, they're able to run it like practice, every pass, every move, too easy. Bucks gotta fall on the moving screens, figure out the spots they're trying to get to on the 2nd and 3rd passes of plays and get in the way.

Inbetween the foul issues and getting pulled because of it, Midds looked pretty comfortable to end the second. Gonna need that and more if we're to pull this off.

Wonder what a Bud halftime is like..."Okay guys we're going to give Giannis the ball at the top, or maybe the elbow if we're feeling adventurous. Then everyone else go to your blue boxes. Everyone got it?"

Giving the ball to Giannis and Khris at the elbow leads to 5-6 turnovers per game. I think that's why Giannis gets the ball at the top so much. They give up because we don't have the guards to even make those basic passes safely.

I Giannis is in the position and Pat is watching him with the bal for 5-8 seconds, the defender behind Giannis obviously knows what's going to happen and still Pat throws a tentative pass ready for the steal.

We should start giving out assists for these plays. It's always leading to layups/dunks in transition.

[yannisk]

we have to cut the errors on offense

defensively we get lost on their side screens, but they are shooting well the 3 and they will probably continue on the second half

if we win it will be a game we stole and will change the mentality of both teams

[CharityStripe34]

Legit question. WHo would you guys want as the HC next year?

I'd try Kenny Atkinson.

Not a bad pick.

Let's trade for Erik Spoelstra.

[brettski]

Didn't Brook have the first 9 points of the game and then hasn't taken a shot again since?

[Cythaps]

Fun stat: Wes has played the most minutes this half.

Goood coaching imo

Most of their successful possessions came out of the post, though. Gianni got Bam, Iggy twice and Crowder fouls on four straight possessions. Khris blew by Robinson twice on the block.

Gianni at the top of the key is sure-fire way to 1-2-3 Cancun.

Mike D.

Becky H.

I'd give Ettore M another look, too.

[AussieBuck]

Donte needs to come to life, we need his pre-bubble defense and some offense. Herro, Robinson and Dragic are terrible at preventing dribble penetration but we aren't/can't take advantage.

Good chance we're going to win this game, they're not gonna keep hitting everything. Reversal of last game. I bet Miami is worried a little. If we win, whole new series. just need this to get our composure.

Unfortunately he looks mentally lost.

[steger_3434]

Let’s hope miami goes on a 5 minute scoring drought. Happened a lot vs the pacers

i'm watching the halftime practice and giannis is literally shooting 70% from the 3, it's crazy
