Allen was not in legal guarding position. He turned sideways.

I hear you. Dame’s had a pretty good track record of showing he can keep his hands and take it kind of easy on D, too.

Cleveland shooting 3-22 from 3, we know variance will likely help them in the 2nd half. Little chance for the Bucks unless they look like the 18-19 iteration in owning the paint in the 2nd half.

We have a near 35% advantage from 3 and are down 7 at half lol.

Yup, limiting a players minutes out of fear of that player having his minutes limited. It drives me nuts.

That was a pretty pathetic effort in the 1st half. I get the whole coasting in December thing, but geez.

Yet we're still only down 7 at the half.

Well, we are actually good at defending the 3 now.

Cleveland is 19th in offense and is now without two really good starters and yet again they score pretty easily. What has saved the Bucks is that the Cavs are missing some really wide open threes.

Horst is smart man. He has to have a come to Jesus moment with Griffin, a guy who promised an aggressive defense and yet has a team that is 26th in forcing turnovers and allows layup drills.

Just tuned in…looks like a BeEasy 2.0 3fga is the best shot.

I watched and other than a nice contest by Pat on one and a few others, most of theirs were pretty open and we just got lucky.

Very true. We're 6th this season in opponent's 3pt % (34.3%), and over the last 3 games have held our opponents to 27.6% from 3.
