AJ Green’s 14pts off the bench was the diff maker for the Bucks

4-10

Brolo playing better on defense by not making deep drop

team is **** cursed wow

he finally started to stop being total cheeks

then this

wtf

The only way we can counter the egregious no calls on Giannis is to put out flop god, Kyle Lowry. Maxey certainly isn’t getting calls.

5-11

Maxey choking

Reaggravated that ankle

Maxey went Tobi mode at the worst time lol

He's getting traped and no one else moves off ball.

I just don't understand why Nurse is closing the game with Bamba.

...it kinda worked.

That would have been a flagrant 1 if we landed under a shooter like that.

better effort tonight after some stinkers

got ref'd but just lack talent.

it is what it is

At least Tobias tried in the 4th...

Guys need to move more off ball, punish the trap on Maxey in some way

Have the refs goofed? Yes.

Do Alaa and Kate exude total loser energy moaning the entire fourth quarter? Yes.

Ive been reading about how the refs have changed the way they make calls since after the break.

some shaky decisions from Nurse tonight.

Brought Maxey back in too soon in the 4th, went away from Paul and Martin who were giving Giannis some fits, that stretch where we forced the ball to Tobias got the Bucks back in it too.

Oubre needs to be less predictable on those drives; that's why he's getting blocked at the rim. However, I really appreciate how hard he tries to dunk it every time.

Buddy Hield is reduced to being in the same class as AJ Green and Sam Hauser in terms of how we're using him. Hield’s decline coincides with Lowry’s addition?

We did a good job hunting Dame and attacking Brolo's drop defense in this game. Additionally, we did well on defense by building a wall around Giannis, forcing him into 7 turnovers.

The rotation was also good. Hield and Payne provide scoring punch, while Oubre complements the starting five better than Batum.

The Bucks played a typical Doc Rivers game. The offense centers around the stars and kicks out to open shooters, which is not a complicated but effective strategy. Brolo did a better job of not dropping too low on defense (reminds me of Jojo’s reg season defense), and players were used effectively in crunch time, knocking down big shots in REGULAR SEASON.

It would be disappointing not to have a 7-game series with the Celtics, Bucks, and Nuggets. The standings may not reflect it, but it seems like we match up well with them roster-wise more than ever. If we can find a breakthrough solution on how to win those non-Embiid minutes (being able to generate high-quality shots more frequently and playing good defense without Embiid), we might be able to beat them.
