Kinda impressive how he was able to twist his upper body with his feet going the other way and make it. If you gave him 99 more goes at making that he might not make another.

Yeah that was my main point. He could try that on the practice court with no defense and he would miss it most of the time.

The Bucks aren't quick enough to face guard NBA guards and you expect them to each cover a 10 sq ft area?

Uhh if quickness is an issue, you think it's better for them to have to cover more ground? Cause that's what happened starting so high up.

You can see the angle players are coming with the ball if youre at a standstill outside 3P line.

What ended up happening is 4 Bucks players were INSIDE the 3P line chasing Indy around. You had both Kuzma and Prince chasing Mathurin to the opposite corner which is baffling.

On that prayer of shot? No, not really. Giannis is a 6'11 pterodactyl. Put your arms up and if he makes it he makes it. Clear as day foul.

This is it. Giannis just had to be big. Worst case scenario he makes the shot and you’re into OT/have a timeout and 3 secs left for a game winner. Not the best situational awareness from Giannis.

Story of the Bucks since they became good

Who says we need to put Brook out there? Just use your 5 best perimeter defenders.

The scrambling made it worse. Haliburton really popped wide open on those screens. A zone negates that.

We can basically blame this loss on Zaza Pachulia.

Ooof.

Giannis would have been better off wrapping him up in a bear hug before he got into the shooting motion.

Why did you have to make me relive that? Just as bad, but not remotely the same.

The end of the game was controversial, no matter how you slice it.

These are the kinds of losses that do not inspire any confidence I have in this team making it to the second round let alone getting out of the first.

A flip should not have to be switched in order for this team to play consistently good basketball. Two years of this now.

Literally identical. What in the hell is Giannis thinking.

There is no switch to flip for this team. They are who they are. Inconsistent, low BBIQ, capable of spurts of brilliance and long periods of really poor play.

By the way why did the Bucks not just spread out above the break? Why did Doc have them covering like Kurt Warner was dropping back?

Shouldn't that have been an official review thing and not a challenge then? Would've saved us a timeout

We should just have looked to foul them before they could get a shot off. It never had to get that far. So stupid.

Right on, need to get PattyC in to take face shots for KPJ.

What pisses me off is how none of the idiot announcers questioned the legitimacy of the foul call. But if roles were reversed they would've said bad call from the get-go.

I got roasted for saying he has below average bball IQ. Thats middle school stuff, don't foul a 3pt shooter up 3.
