If their bench outscores the Bucks by 20, the Bucks should lose. Every time.

One more thing, in addition to Bledsoe being trash.....This team wins offensively because of constant ball and player movement, Giannis is holding the ball and killing that, then trying to create with the shot clock running down, just not good basketball

When they resort to Jason Kidd instead of Bud, they are awful

Bud can help any time by running some new schemes to help with the offense. He did a good job during the regular season.

The thing is the Bucks have been scouted extensively in the course of a series and adjustments need to happen.

I could not disagree more with this statement from Giannis. I mean, you leave shooters open because you don't want Kawhi to score? What?

Didn't get a clear follow on this one. But yes, Giannis' needs to stick to playmaking.We don't need Kawhi or Kobe. We need Gianni. That dude gets his teammates involved. Want to see what went wrong tonight, with my eyes.

For all the talk about doubling Kawhi, we really didn't. Tried some stuff towards the end but the game was already gone.
We were collapsing in the paint on everybody and then getting lost.

Mirotic was almost unplayable after his hot start. Couldn't really make any shots, got destroyed by Ibaka on the boards, played worse than usual defense (1 v 1 and late on switches).

Bledsoe has just been extremely frustrating. Seems like he can get what he wants when he tries but is way too tentative.

Because Middleton had a good game?

Hilarious. He wasn't exactly awake on D either, and that foul at the end of the 1st Half was a lot of fun, wasn't it? It's awesome that we wasted the 1 good Middleton game.

If we'd have got this whistle against the Celtics it wouldv'e taken 6 or 7 games. Real talk.

Start Brogdon, give DJ some of Mirotic's minutes and force a hobbled Kawhi to beat you and I think we'll be fine.

We have to find a solution to Toronto's zone defense.

Too many possessions started from the top attempting to drive and kick. Hopefully we can scheme more often to get Giannis the ball on either wing after resets before he starts his drive.

Yes. There were also far too many possessions making purposeless passes high on the court and then trying to make something out of nothing with 8 seconds left on the shot clock. They need to be more decisive.

After the aggressive start I really thought we were gonna get an all timer Giannis performance. Instead he was just fine.
Sucks that we wasted a good Middleton shooting game and that Bledsoe still has his head in his ass.

Got punched in the mouth in this one. If we don't have a response for game 5 it'd be a **** way for this season to end.

DavidDunn21 · Post #296 » by **DavidDunn21** » Wed May 22, 2019 6:21 am

There's now a real possibility that this is the Hornets series all over again and we win the first two and the last two.

I'm not following Giannis' line of thinking. Just how much does he expect one-legged 50 minute playing Kawhi to score?

Simply disallow open 3s from the other guys, and I like our chances. How is this hard?

There is some softness here that I find alarming. Bucks are getting hacked and beaten up with impunity and are not returning the favor. This is making them tentative and slow.

Where are our "playoff fouls"? Does Lowry think about driving if he's bodied on layups? Would like to know.

And now we win next 2

so predictable :roll:

Line of thinking my butt LOL he's just saying some words so he can get the fk out of there.
Bud said the defense sucked and that's all that matters.
