KD is getting anything he wants. Bucks gotta sit Lopez.. He can't defend the high screen and roll.

KD has been incredible in the second half.

how is a supposedly great defense like bucks so mediocre out there?

this is the same core (theorically upgrading bledsoe to jrue) that had an all time defense in 2020

Texas Chuck wrote:Uncle Jeff was a punchline when every deadline some team would trade a first round pick for him. But a terrific minimum pickup for the Nets and his own comeback from injury is keeping the Nets alive.

Props also to KD for going the whole way tonight considering his own health concerns. I know its fun for people to drag him, but give him credit for his level of fight.

Green really seems to have turned his career around after going to Houston last year.

Yeah I'm just gonna sit back and appreciate KD's greatness here. Much more enjoyable than being perplexed by everything the Bucks do.

We're getting an idea of what Harden might look like if he plays until he's 45.

KD is straight up assassinating these guys. Ridiculous.

This is unbelievable from KD. Bucks should just blitz him at this point.

Giannis at the top of the key seems to kill the offense every time. It's just so ugly to watch.

Bucks offense is just brutal. It looks like they don't know what to do. First time they run a DHO in the 4th they actually get a good look. Every other time has been Giannis or Middleton or Holiday isos.

Lol at that Giannis 3. The Bucks don't deserve to win this series.

Giannis taking a pull up 3 at this point in the game... I think we're at the point where we gotta admit that he's just not a smart player, which feels crazy to say about a two time MVP.

Sometimes I understand why offenses are struggling (Jazz this playoffs, don't have guys to generate shots, best passer/ball-handler out), I truly do not understand why the Bucks are not running better sets.
