Zach Lowe did a podcast and said that the Bucks are scoring 94/100 in the half court which is awful but they are getting a ton of transition opportunities and destroying the Suns with it.

Chris Paul's teams are usually able to dictate the pace both teams play at. I really do wonder if forcing the Bucks to beat them in the half court is something the Suns can do.

Tbf a ton of that is missing great looks, but they have looked awful in the halfcourt at times (even against the Hawks)

didnt the bucks get into the finals with 31% 3 point shooting or somethingh like that ? they were a 38% team in reg season

that 7% difference seems pretty huge and bucks really could use some shooting

edit:of all basketball quart3rs i have ever seen that was.....one of them

This trend has continued through 2.5 quarters. Bucks are still in this because of the possession advantage (offensive rebounds and turnovers)

bucks are proof that bad 3 point shooting teams can somehow still compete for rings with defense and size in the boards

Booker's on absolute fire tonight. I kind of think the Bucks overreacted by doubling him since he's making everything through some extremely tough contests. Is he really going to keep shooting 65% until deep into the game?

I guess you vary up his looks now and again, but if he's not creating anything else for his teammates he's gonna get gassed eventually

The Bucks are the most frustrating NBA team I've ever watched

They're going to blow this game by their awful offensive sets(if you even want to call them that).

It’s kd being a metre out of bounds bad. Refs blatantly didn’t want to foul him out.

Giannis passing as been so good. Dudes playing so well since game 6 against nets.



Also Paul’s been absolutely awful. That Martin guy would be loving this

Suns got an all time good game from Booker and an all time bad game from Paul.

Giannis with some big time defensive plays.
