Game 68: Suns at Bucks - 3/17/24 - Noon - ABC - Giannis Out

[yb90]

This is usually what we see from other teams playing the Bucks defense. Lol. I do like the 2nd quarter defense by the Bucks only allowing 24 pts is great.

I would have loved for Doc to have played Green to close the qtr over Beverley but that nitpicking.

18 3’s in a half ties an nba record just crazy shooting!

Bobby is unconscious. Hope he keeps going off.

The Good news: We're red hot and up 22 at the half.

The bad news: If there was ever a team that could set the NBA record for most 3's in a game and still lose (Because of how bad they are defensively) it is this Bucks team.

On February 17, 2021, Lillard scored 43 points and tied a career-high 16 assists in a win against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Bobby Portis put up his most points in a game versus the 76ers on February 22, 2018, with 38 points.

Was thinking exactly what Perk just said. We need to put Giannis at the 5 with Bobby at the 4 in spots. That won the Finals in '21.

Listen, not arguing while we're up 19 and shooting like 70% from deep, but this truly is the most boring era of basketball I've been alive for.

Probably better discussion for a later date, but I agree with this. Every team runs the same high ball screen set and have guys set at the three point line.

Blow a 22 point lead at home. Nah.

As frustrating as our season has been, suns has been far worse and they are even more all in. Clippers has looked just as rough as times and relies on harden in the playoffs and kl/pg to stay healthy. Lakers and warriors are done. Out of the teams spending big money, we are probably the least frustrating to watch

Every sport goes through this... sometimes the pendulum swings in the defense's favor and sometimes towards offense. I don't want to go back to the scores being 78 - 83 so this is still better. Each game you can see though that one team cares less about the regular season game than the other.
If it was the playoffs everyone would suddenly rotate.

Bucks ain’t losing if they hit 30 3’s lol

For most teams yeah, but not this Bucks team.

If we are up 22 going into the 4th I still wouldn't put this one in the bank.

This Bucks team is horrible defensively and they also don't value the basketball. That's the recipe to give up a 20+ point lead in a blink. No lead is safe for the Bucks.

Boston & Denver I'm positive are much less frustrating. I mean we fired our coach mid season because it was so frustrating lol.

The other guys in that five were Jrue, a healthy Middelton and Tucker.

Now we have Middelton who is worse, Dame and someone lol. Pat Bev?

They already do this but need to do it more when Lopez is outmatched against quicker Centers like Sabonis, Bam, and Davis.

[randy84]

Less Brook more Khris.

[SupremeHustle]

Dame getting those Rondo assists. You can't fool me. I'm familiar with that game.

[yb90]

Middleton has 4 fouls but his length has helped on D

[-Jragon-]

km dribbling with Dame watching him ...

That's what I mean. Run it more in these matchups. Most teams have a 5 that Giannis can more than handle.

[randy84]

Ok. I may have been wrong. Maybe less Khris.
