Notice in game 1 we were running their shooters off the line and played with more of an urgency on keeping Giannis out of the paint. This game because we aren't hitting anything, the effort just dies with most of the players.

No it wouldn't ! With no Giannis to feed him good looks, his old ass would get locked up on the perimeter

Giannis draws so much attention on the drive he's just kicking it out for wide open shots

this. a lot of players look better when playing with a superstar. Look at all the people Lebron got big contracts. Thompson, JR Smith just to name 2.

I like Wes Matthews. He should be the perfect player for Milwaukee if he just hits his open shots and keeps playing hard.

I would give anything I could to eliminate possessions like the one we just saw for good.

Fultz holds the ball beyond the 3PT line until Fournier comes and gets it with like 10 on the shot clock into a 2/5 pick and roll.

That action can go ahead and die now.

It absolutely would, we watch Iwundu and Fournier brick 3s the same wide open 3s. Korver comes in plays hard hits his shots. That’s the type of vet also for locker room and whose been and done it.

I'm going to give props to Vuc for another damn good half. He seemed like the only one who wanted to be out there. Had some really good contests at the rim too.

Evan/DJ/Ross should be **** embarrassed by their performance.

Again this has nothing to do with the bucks and everything to do with this offense. If they can't start hitting open shots this is over in 5 just like last year.

I'm sorry, but Giannis' bum ass Brother still annoys me. He overcelebrates way too much and he would be in China if not for his Brother. Everyone else can celebrate though. They've actually earned there spots.

Vuc and our FT shooting is the only reason this beat down isn't any uglier.

Giannis is also actually attacking the rim hard and then dishing late. Last game he would hesitate and get stuck.

24% and 6% from 3's is normal? Nope. This is a baaaad game from us. Not normal. If the Bucks keep playing defense this bad, we can make it a series. Just probably not tonight.

Ok so lets follow up our best game of the season with the worst.

What a train wreck.

Lowest shooting percentage for a first half of a playoff game in franchise history, and the Bucks were not responsible for all that much of it.

Fournier just looks terrible. Gonna be a landmark day when we get him off this team. Need to draft a 3 and D player. As usual we have no one who can hit a shot.

Tough half, horrific shooting from us but we've seen that before. Hoping we come out in the 2nd half and play hard enough to feel a little better going into game three.
