They have the best 3 pt team in the NBA. Got to make it harder for them. Tonight they got plenty of good looks from 3.

We still don't have a Tatum length defender.. I'm sure Bev wanted a go but it would end badly.. he's 6'2 on his tippies

If Beas doesn't play down the stretch, does Boston ever score?

So....

Why did Dame drive for a layup down 3 with like 10 seconds on the clock? Between that and the blocked mid range against the Lakers, is there any reason at all to not have him just hoist 3s?

Either way, encouraged. Giannis will guard Tatum in those late game situations and it wont be an easy two every time. I think we will beat them in 7 health permitting.

it’s not a video game, completely disrupts the rhythm of the game. dame was clearly very upset and it sends a message from your coach that he doesn’t believe in you defensively.

Best loss of the season.

If AJ Green played 19 minutes instead of Gallo playing 19 minutes, this is most likely a win.

Bobby has had 2 monster games against Boston this year. Any concerns with him versus Boston are beyond dead.

Game thread - Jragon: "Gallo was talking GA and BL minutes.. not guards"

I get it what you are saying but in the 4th qtr Doc went small before Khris came in when they made their run. They play 4 guards and Bobby. Doc could've play Pat on whichever Big was in Horford/Tillman/Kornet. Trust Pat to box out those guys in man or Zone like he did in the 4th. The Bucks needs AJs defense because he plays fundamentally sound defense.

Agreed. Gallo doesn't have the footspeed to play in the NBA anymore

Agreed it's letting Doc burn the last TO for a 2 point play that was criminal

Insert ANY player for Gallo and it would've been better. He legit reminds me of Drew Gooden

The comments on BP prove that there needs to be a G league realgm.

BP with 24 and 15 on great efficiency. Horrible game.

Seriously, it was a fun fourth quarter, but the Bucks do that all the time when they are way ahead after three quarters. There is a natural tendency to coast.

But I still think the Bucks beat Boston with a healthy team. Go to a three person bench in the playoffs and we'll be fine.

Should have been for Beas.

We were down 4.

Its a pretty good strategy considering we needed a stop.

Agreed. The BP idiots that come out after a slow start are insufferable.

There's a guy named Giannis who will guard Tatum.

Tatum is a very good player, but the MVP stuff is beyond ridiculous.

That foul call with 20 seconds left... I'm not going to say it was the wrong call but there's a dozen non-calls every game that are clearer fouls than that one.

In any event, so many times in this game I was thinking that they could really use Giannis. None more than those final couple minutes when they were targeting Beasley and when Porzingis got that offensive rebound.
