Happy to see Jefferson get some solid burn in

The fact that this game is within 12 is kind of comical.

Fournier saves it.

Way too many 3 attempts for that to happen these days unless Ross, Evan and DJ are injured.

Actually optimistic about this game tbh. Probably shouldn't be but my blind homerism is kicking in right now.

Our defense has been solid. They're shooting under 40% and have 52 at the half for a team that is averaging 121 per game

The offense on the other hand can't even crack 30%

Right!? There was one possession where AG grabbed a rebound and had Fultz running and clapping for the ball to move it quickly - instead, AG slow dribbled it up the court and let Giannis get back to play defense. AG is a super dumb basketball player. Hate that he blew kisses after his dunk. Dunk was cool but that ruined it.

As much as I love Isaac’s one on one defense against top level forwards, it may be a good idea to have someone else guard Giannis in the future (AG,Aminu) Giannis is so damn physical and he’s likely to get the call on most borderline plays.

Isaac is too important to our team defense to risk having in foul trouble !

If we can cut out the live ball turnovers, have better urgency on the defensive boards, push the pace on every rebound and lastly get some bench production while limiting their bench production, we have a chance to steal this game. We have to muck this game up and take Milwaukee out of rhythm because we don't stand a chance against them if they consistently run their half court offense.

We also need to stop half helping on Giannis.

WTF is the point of DJ sagging just outside the paint on a Giannis drive? If your a small guard then you won’t even bother Giannis. Unless you are going to fully commit to the help and take a charge just guard your man on the perimeter.

I heard someone yelling at AG to pass the ball on one possession.

its too bad because there's a good player in there somewhere...but its hard to see him accepting being a role player

I like Giannis but every time he drives it's a foul.

swarlesbarkley · Post #156 » by **swarlesbarkley** » Tue Dec 10, 2019 2:28 am

Why is it every time Fultz makes a play then next called play is for AG or Evan to initiate the offense?

Birch doesn't even try to guard outside the paint

I just can't stand watching Evan dribble 10+ times

Bucks announcers super sexist comments about the woman referee count is at 3.

Birch has no idea whatsoever how to defend a stretch 5.
