Maybe try running some actual offense instead of iso at the end of the clock?

Well. About two mins from putting umbrella academy binge back on. I woke up trying to pass a kidney stone and this game is by far the most painful thing of the day

Do we have to spot them 20 points before starting to play?

I see we’re going with the lull them into a false sense of security approach. Smart.

They will pawn us by 30 points here. We can't hit the wide open 3s, we've missed 4 so far, it wont cut it against this team. They basically let you shoot open 3s.
Good assessment:

Everyone's going to struggle shooting early, and the teams who shoot more are going to be affected more adversely.

Really tho, plenty of teams lose starting this hot. Not too worried.

Giannis is a beast, Theis doesn’t have a chance. I’m concerned.

Brad should've let the starters play in the last scrimmage. I thought that was a mistake since they still weren't looking crisp in the Suns scrimmage. Looks like they needed another tuneup game before the real games start.

Our 5 needs to be a threat outside. Lopez just living in the paint waiting for the penetration.

Playing soft and scared. Early on, the gulf betwern these two franchises couldn't be bigger

I'd love to hear that idoit Mark Jackson justify why he thinks the Greek Freak isn't unstoppable.

Pray tell, how do you stop him? Haven't see something like this since prime Shaq.

No shot at beating the Bucks in a series without a rim protector.

No one should be surprised.

Game isn't over by any means, but IF it doesn't improve, this shouldn't come as a surprise. This Bucks team IS the better team and possibly an all time great regular season team.

Whether we win, or loose badly, I wouldn't sweat it.

Lopez punked Tatum, and Giannis showed our boys how to finish right there.
