As you point out Duke, Pels had only 2 players going offensively. Heat were playing with high condifedence on both ends. They got away with holding & grabbin on defense/boards, u can call it defensive reputation if u want, they weren't allowed anywhere near those calls vs LA without AD & Lebron, lol. So with Pels struggling to put the ball in the hoop as a collective, there's just a different confidence on offense when u not worried about stopping another team.. There was no defensive pressure on the Heat all night..
They double Jonas early got a couple TO's out of it & the rest of the game was the guards cheaply turning the ball over & putting up bricks where Jonas defense can't play in high inefficiecny.
Took Green 4 quarter to figure out how to get Jonas involved offensively with the game out of reach. I recomend him pulling some tape when Jonas dominated Bam with Memphis playing with (2nd yr Ja, Allen, Brooks, Anderson)..
Speaking of Allen & your intertest in him.. Watched him in Memphis.. He was inconsistent & often injured. Bucks showed interest & r now putting him back on the market. U migh like his game & fit but I see a red flag.
When it comes to Grayson, he’s a better player now than he was in Memphis. He’s now on his 4th straight year of at least 39% from 3. Also important to keep the context of what the expectation is. Grayson makes under 10 mil a year, Grayson isn’t a move to get another star. Grayson would be a move to upgrade Graham’s rotation spot. The idea is to get a cheap sharpshooting guard off the bench.
Also the Bucks are pretty public on why Grayson is available. Bucks are in desperate need of a wing defender. They match up horribly with Boston. And outside of their main core of guys, they don’t really have many guys with any trade value.
