Giannis is also actually attacking the rim hard and then dishing late. Last game he would hesitate and get stuck.


Yeah most definitely but Orlando is also very late to react to his drives compared to Game 1. Credit to Giannis for turning up his intensity.

A shame the Magic are as mentally weak as they are.

Evan/DJ/Ross should be **** embarrassed by their performance.
Ennis is playing hard too, it's just this damn offense. When the shot isn't falling instead of switching up to attack the basket more, we double down and keep doing the same thing.....no backup plan

It’s hard to watch Evan Fournier play basketball.

I actually hope we can make it a tougher series for the Bucks so they get out of the East. I want Giannis to stay in Milwaukee and keep another superstar in a small Market for life like Lillard. But hopefully they learn a lot from this series and how to counter "the wall."

Buuut, on the same hand, I hope we upset them and take the series.

24% and 6% from 3's is normal? Nope. This is a baaaad game from us. Not normal. If the Bucks keep playing defense this bad, we can make it a series. Just probably not tonight.


I completely disagree, most predicted a sweep. The magic are a poor offensive team and shot the ball out of their minds in the first. Don't expect much of a series going forward.

Yeah, that's always been the case with our offense. We are a very streaky team, with a coach who fails to be creative and make adjustments. Our defense is what has to consistently keep us in games, and I thought it was bad that half.

They just aren't defending the 3pt line well. Ross and Evan had multiple lapses and gave up wide open 3's. A couple of times great ball movement by the Bucks created the open shot but the large majority have been created from bad lazy defensive possessions on our part.

A well-coached talented team like the Bucks will kill you for that.

It's unreal that everyone but Vuc and Ross have literally 1 or less makes in an entire half! And it took Ross 9 shots to get those 2 makes!

It didn't show in the 1st game but we are seriously missing the energy that AG and MCW bring.

Teams know it come playoff time when defense tightens down. That curl play we run isn’t fooling anyone

I mean it just comes down to not having an alpha scorer. Vuc can get his points but it comes within the flow of the offense, he's not getting his own out there since he's a big C.

We also have no one that can get to the line at will. DJ is the closest to that and he just jumps into people in the air.

So, you're suggesting that the Magic shoot 24% and 6% on average? Cause that would be "normal." Seems like hate for no reason to me to think that's normal.
