As someone who's followed the bucks closely this year I'm not as confident they win with Dame as you are. He's been a mixed bag as a Buck.Stix wrote:This is an L if Dame plays, but I like what I am seeing now with the chemistry of Big 3. Beal is fine, just wish he would start draining his threes. I hope he doesn't shoot like this in post season.

Book went 0/2 in the 4th quarter. Weird but he's been invisible in the 4th's lately.

Not sure if I’m a fan of the book rotation
He plays the entire 1st then sits till about the 6 minute mark of the second and the same for the 3rd and 4th. By the time he comes back in the 4th, the chuckfest is on. It seems set in stone no matter what is going on on the court. This coach has no feel for the game. He Doesnt Coach
Disappointing how our best shooter, Allen, is an afterthought on offense. Runs to the corner then watches KD and Book play hero. Was particularly pizzed last night as i had Allen scoring 10 as the last leg on a chunky parlay. But just try to get the ball from the big three slingers. One fn bucket is all… and i dont think he touched the ball but once in the last 4-5 minutes. And if so it was just to bail out a failed ISO play… only to restart another.
Is there is an offensive plan other than here Book, here KD, see if you can score?… especially late. Add Beal to the mix and you can count on him shooting if he is lucky enough to get the ball. I get it, superstars and all, but neither KD or DB has good handles and are prone to sloppiness when they get thwarted by double teams. Doesnt help that they jack off 18 seconds of the shot clock. I swear it seems premeditated, especially by Book…. Dribble off the ticks then have to shoot a contested shot.
Gonna have to live with it though. ISO currently is our go to weapon with this coach. Dont think it will be effective enough in the playoffs when things get ratcheted up

Dames shooting has been down, he's only shooting .07 better from 3 than your boy Beal.Stix wrote:WeekapaugGroove wrote:As someone who's followed the bucks closely this year I'm not as confident they win with Dame as you are.

If you say so, but they went cold when Giannis was out. Might've been a wash with his D, but even so not a convincing win with Lopez also out.
They say with coaching you're either teaching them to do it or allowing it to happen so the clogged toilet O at the end of games is on Frank and his staff.Frank Lee wrote:Golanator wrote:I'll take the dub but it wasn't pretty at all. Good to see Beal bounce back from a rough 1st half.

Honestly the best guy to defend Lopez shooting 3s might be Bol.
Why is this, exactly?

Well, it's almost impossible to guard a 7 footer shooting 3s, but a 7'8 wingspan helps. I mean, he's not a great defender or anything but who else would you suggest? KD has a long one too but I would put him on Giannis.

Its just a kind of reductive way to look at defense. I mean if Brook is standing still at the 3pt lime and Bol is just standing in front of him and neither is reacting to anything else on the floor then sure. Otherwise I'd say theres more to it then that.
