I think the Bucks are favored now. As much as it pains me to say it. I hope I'm wrong.

They shot 6-30 from 3. That 20%. We played zone.

We had so much luck. They missed everything.

It won't happen again.

With Harden we would have KILLED them on bench minutes. Their bench is trash.

With Harden in, me and you can dress up bro :lol:

Yeah KD was pretty bad. Him and Kyrie missed a ton.

We’ll be fine. Only person we needed Harden for would be a healthy Lakers team.

Weve been terrible this season without Harden. So I'm not feeling good.

I think we could beat the Sixers or anyone in the West without Harden. The Bucks are good.

It's one game, still don't feel good about this series without Harden.

I so tempted to put my friends text from earlier on.

Not yet. I love them, but trash they send was hilarious. They don't want to see me on Monday.

That was a gutsy win really proud of this team. Type of win that sets a tone. Was reading the bucks forum and they were clowning hardens injury from the start. Mike James really stepped up for us and Blake was awesome with his hustle and energy. They hate him with a passion. Love it. We need Claxton to keep playing at this level. He is such a great defender and if they keep playing Lopez we need him on the floor against him. We dodged a bullet with Durant guarding him in foul trouble. Thankfully Giannis tried playing hero ball instead of feeding him in the paint. We gambled on going small and it payed off. Great game.

We need KD to go nuts next game. 35-40.

Feeding Lopez in the paint isn't going to produce efficient offense. Even without Harden post offense from an old Lopez isn't a winning formula. We should keep playing small because Bud knows this too and isn't going to force feed the post.

Also my god at the doomposting. Obviously the series is far from over, but a blowout victory without Harden is not the time for sobering pessimism.

I think as long as the nets play hard and move the ball they will win. Everyone wants KD and kyrie to drop 40 each but that’s not how they will win. Harris getting 15 and Blake getting 18 and mike James getting his. That’s how they beat the bucks. Team effort. Not two ball hogs,

I love how all shaq and Kenny are talking about is how the bucks dominated in the paint and they should do that more. I’ll take them getting two point shots in the paint to us getting threes

Placing too much weight on regular season. Kyrie and KD are different in the playoffs. They can’t really be bothered to care enough in the regular season.

It’s actually the perfect fit for all 3. We can ride Harden in the regular season because that’s what his 3point/layup/FT offense is made for. And then KD and Kyrie shoulder the responsibility in the postseason.

It's not even just that, teams adjust over the course of a game defensively, and we did significantly improve our paint defense in the 2nd half. And attacking the paint for 48 minutes is not a viable strategy for any team out there.

I want us to run PnRs on Lopez and cook him till they take him out.

Then they will be forced to play Giannis at Center. Way more ideal for us.

GTR11 · Post #395 » by **GTR11** » Sun Jun 6, 2021 2:37 am

It's not a rocket science. They'll try to post up their guys vs us to beat zone. Can we hold on is a question.

We haven't been tested tonight.

No doubt tonights formula was just what was needed. I'm sure the Bucks will make adjustments and I am expecting to see shoot a higher percentage from behind the arc.

This was probably the biggest difference between the two losses we had against the Bucks tonight. We had awful ball movement in those two games. Tonight the ball was popping tonight. ISO ball is fine, it's KD and Kyrie's specialty, but tonight KD and Kaid id a better job of picking their spots to go with ISO ball and when they got others involved.

If you watched it, I'm not sure they can. They had no rythm to speak of. Them regular season numbers don't translate with most teams, they suck more than others.
