Really? Every team has clunkers like this one.

Peaks and valleys. That's all I keep telling myself.
We've had games we look like a championship contender (not many I'll admit), and we've had games we look like we'd miss the playoffs. Lots of time still. I'm cautiously optimistic.

The Denver zone was them basically saying "We have no one who can slow down Giannis." Regardless, Giannis killed them early on the baseline until "Let it Fly!" took him out of the game. Against this Denver lineup, Giannis should be putting up 30 shots in the paint. He had 15 attempts including three 3 pt attempts. Utter stupidity, AKA Bud strategy.
And the offense was the bright spot...

When one team makes everything and the other misses. The team making everything tends to come out on top on the rebounding numbers by virtue of defensive rebounds.

The FG miss difference was only 5, although I'm sure some of the missed Bucks FTs added to the total. By several measures, the Bucks are a top 3 rebounding team, while the Nuggets are in the bottom half of the league AND were missing key frontline personnel. The Nuggets also outscored the Bucks 56-32 in the paint. It was an awful performance from every angle.
