Bucks 2020-2021 season thread

I have no expectations for the second half. It hasn't gotten out of hand, but it's hard for me to imagine us being ahead after 48 minutes. Homecourt advantage for this series was enormous.

[jjgott]

Jrue needs to just drive to the basket and hope het gets fouled. He had Giannis trailing too to clean up any miss. Dang.

[GAME05]

Bucks are the better team when they drive and when Lopez gets involved. Way worse when it's one guy trying to do it by themselves. If they stay in attack mode they'll be just fine. Driving gives the Bucks success from 3 and not the other way around.

[GAME05]

Middleton kinda absent so far.

 

Six quick points from Bryn Forbes would be nice.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

He's 2-11 which shocked me. I would have guessed he'd taken 4 shots. It's the same old story with no one stepping up to provide some relief for Giannis. Not that he's been spectacular.

[adambr2]

Middleton kinda absent so far.

 

Middleton generally shows up big in home playoff games and turns into a complete pumpkin on the road.

 

4 for 22 from Middleton/Jrue ain't gonna do it.

[DuWayne Steurer]

THe lead???

[adambr2]

Good start to the 3rd. Still gonna need some buckets from Middleton or Jrue at some point.

[adambr2]

Tucker is not even allowed to exist within a 3 feet radius of Durant.

[adambr2]

Lol Giannis. Whatever, I guess.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Lol Giannis. Whatever, I guess.

 

It's one of those things where you're not happy that he's doing it, and it's not a good choice, but you're happy that he made it.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I hate Griffin more than any of their big 3. Can't stand watching him play.

[jjgott]

I hate Griffin more than any of their big 3. Can't stand watching him play.

 

For me it's because he basically pouted his way out of Detroit and has found a "second wind" playing for Brooklyn.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I hate Griffin more than any of their big 3. Can't stand watching him play.

 

Like I said in game 6, if he spent 20% of the energy he does flopping around and extolling the refs, he'd be a 20% more efficient ball player.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

It's the quitting in Detroit, the whining and flopping. And the stepping over guys and general doucheness.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Absolute joke. Just a complete joke.

[pacopete4]

Some brutal calls in this game. I don’t watch enough to know if this is how it is always called but yikes.

[adambr2]

Bad sequence the last few minutes. Jrue really needed that bucket in transition, had a chance to go up 6 and now we gave the lead back.

[adambr2]

If Brooklyn advances, I hope they get crushed. Even if it's by Philly.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Harden is so good at that move.

[DuWayne Steurer]

you can't defend that, because if you get anywhere close, it's being called a foul.

[DuWayne Steurer]

If Brooklyn advances, I hope they get crushed. Even if it's by Philly.

 

If the Bucks lose, I'm rooting for PHX

[OldSchoolSnapper]

If the Bucks lose I likely don't watch another game.

[GAME05]

I'm just amazed Harden could jump and land on his feet. Didn't know he could do that.

[adambr2]

Timeouts seem eternal. Almost like a mini halftime.
