This. Incredible to only be down 6 with the way Tatum played

Jaylen should look to get into the paint more often. Good things happen when he does.

Gordon... oh Gordon.

To be honest when they said Brook Lopez stays deeper in the lane on pick and rolls than anyone else I just thought... okay perfect that means Tatum can get clean 3 point attemps off the pick every time.

That didn't play out so they must be doing something more but it stands to reason at the very least if Lopez is a couple feet away that Tatum if not a step in 3 can do a trademark side step 3 and know he'll be wide open.

Again obviously I'm missing something because it's not happening but man... idk. Would love to see Tatum just jack up 3s off a PnR and try to get into a rhythm that way.

Wrong pronoun used. 'Cause you're clearly a troll from another fanbase. Probably a Raps fan who has too much time in their hands?

This actually makes me optimistic for the playoffs where were only down 6 with Tatum disappearing.

Much rather that than down 6 with Tatum going off for 20 since I’m expecting Tatum to be back playing well for playoffs

That all-perimeter player lineup that Brad rolled out there to close the half was pretty effective. Smart, as usual, is the key. As long as he can guard Giannis (which he was able to do, God bless him), that lineup will cause fits for the Bucks.

I loved seeing Smart against Giannis. Seems like things swung in our direction when we tried that.

Yeah 31 isn't old but to the kids credit Wanamaker could pass for 45

That matchup is going to be epic in the playoffs

The officials have called alot of crap. You can't even breathe on Giannis, but he can do almost anything he wants. Hopefully they will let the players play in the 2nd half.

GUYS! Kemba looked good. This should be all that matters (kinda, not really but still mostly yes)

the refs ain't **** is my conclusion but I'm sure you meant fan bias.

Can be both and is both honestly.

If Brown and JT reach their average I say we win this game.

Watching game vs watching box scores. I can recall one time we got free throws where I wouldn't call a foul and play in. Many of bucks free throws were superstar gets free throw types

We've been doing that whenever Smart's on the floor even in past games. Semi wasn't as effective today since they keep putting him in PnR and he gets switched off. All other Cs don't bother Giannis a bit.

I’m here fam. Enjoying this bit of Pep shown in the last few mins. Hopefully we can get into a groove. Very happy the game is back

Just put em on ignore. Trolls want an audience, and move on when they realize they're talking to themselves.

Ainge needs to draft someone. He has 4 shots at it

Grizz lost in OT. So that's one good bit of news.

Post #579 » by **Shak_Celts** » Sat Aug 1, 2020 12:14 am

jb can't guard giannis, sad thing is we don't have a starter who can.

themoneyteam2 · Post #580 » by **themoneyteam2** » Sat Aug 1, 2020 12:14 am

So apparently if you breathe on Giannis it’s a foul?
