PG Memphis - Bucks Bent Over By Refs

[KidA24]

Fans who left during crunch time to beat “Milwaukee traffic” represent everything wrong with the state of Wisconsin.

Part of that is Bucks crowd (in the good seats) is significantly more corporate season tix than in years past

Sat downstairs a couple times and it's pretty easy to tell quickly who is there to just see the arena and "the scene" and who is there to watch the game and live and die with each possession.


Hopefully the halftime woes of people getting back to their seats becomes less of an issue. Looked like 70% empty crowd when 3Q started last night.

I will say, it was still pretty damn loud during the final 2 minutes.

Brogdon seemed stiff, almost mechanical. I wonder if his back is acting up. He definitely didn't have it last night.

[Isocleas2]

Brogdon seemed fine in the first half was basically invisible in the 2nd.

-Conley and Gasol hit some amazingly clutch shots down the stretch

-Grizzlies pace definitely frustrated the Bucks for the first 3 quarters, to the point where we had to play Thon

-They abused Ersan with the pick and roll, whenever Ersan switched or gave help they attacked him. Boston showed how it was done in the playoffs last year other teams have taken notice. Ersan gave max effort he's just slow.

2-3 over the last 5 games. Season's over.

3-4 since the hot start. Definitely think Bud should be on the hot seat.

[blazza18]

The Bucks shot 15% on wide open 3s. 3 out of 20. Memphis shot 11 out of 22.

22 wide open threes? That's a problem.

Bucks allow the most in the league at 19.1 per game.

And how many of those are pull up 3s?

I'd also be curious to see who is shooting them. If they're giving up open looks to non-shooters it's not as troublesome.

Not sure how many are wide open but Bucks allow 7.7 pull up 3s a game, which would be 5th most in the league. They allow 27 catch & shoot 3s a game, which would be 6th in the league.

how is "wide open" defined? Just curious.

Closest defender is 6 or more feet away from the shooter.

Is it pace adjusted?

Just per game. I have a feeling it won't make too much of a difference in the context of the defense allowing these open shots to occur.

[fansinceforever]

They didn't shoot well then stopped shooting. Conley and Gasol looked like '16 Conley and '14 Gasol with a 3 pt shot. Plus, New Ref who seemed to have chip on his shoulder.

Games like this will happen but hopefully not very often.

[buckboy]

Jaren Jackson Jr. is going to be really, really good. Get young Chris Bosh vibes from his game.

Yeah, you don't see a ton of young bigs that defend like he does. And he's got all the tools on offense too. Love that guy.

Didn’t see this one. Can someone explain what happened with refs?

Literally just awful calls all game. Bucks were down 1 in the 4th, Brogdon got pushed out of bounds and the ref above, #70 gave the ball to the Grizzlies. After a dunk, Bud calls a timeout and says to the ref "What was that?" and got ejected. Also missed a 5 second call late in the game.

Just a tip: Posting complete and utter non sequiturs tends to piss people off. i.e., accusing people of saying things that they didn't say.

People post from different parts of the world so things tend to get lost in translation. No need to get pissed off. In general most people try to explain themselves very well.

No doubt. I'm not pissed off. I think the whole thing is hilarious.

Putting words in people's mouths is a terrible idea in general. That's all I was trying to convey.

Show me where I put words on people's mouths, if that is what you mean..
