They don't have a great defense. The Bucks have had plenty of looks in this series. It's mystifying.
-
Well, we shot like crap again and won. So it still feels like we stole one, but we're alive. I'd like to think we have one easy win in us where we score 130.
-
So we just need 40 from Middleton 3 more times.
-
Durant is something else.

I'm not sure I buy that Gyorko isn't playing by choice. I think at this point that may be the case, but it felt like a situation where the Brewers weren't interested and he wasn't in a camp and by then, he moved on and was happy. The Brewers had an option on this season originally. Just an odd move all around for someone who was a mild bright spot last year. -

I'd say 98/2 that Shaw doesn't play again this year. -

What was so bad about Jedd Gyorko? -
If Gute's ego were on par with Rodgers, he'd be publicly explaining himself and worried about how he looks. He clearly doesn't care, and he shouldn't. Bringing Gute's ego into this is very strange to me. He drafted a young QB because his was old and starting to look washed up. As far as the root of this whole thing, I think it's that Rodgers basically wants to be special counsel to the GM.

They are all on the sticky substance crew.
-
Love being league average this year would be a huge plus and frankly shocking to me. I think he can be fine eventually, I don't really know, but I would fully anticipate a very ugly season if he were the starting QB.
-
I think that's a lock barring some miracle comeback.
-
I don't think they have the horses. I was hopeful it was just a bad shooting night on Saturday, but I think they are just overwhelmed and they probably know it. I don't think we'll get a game.

He is a 2x MVP. There is no reason he can't be the best player on a championship team. Your 30 and 15 post player is not the reason you can't win a championship. Your primary shooter scoring 12 points in the playoffs however is a huge reason you will not win a championship. Throw Klay Thompson of a couple years ago on the Bucks and they've probably won it by now. Giannis is essentially an athletic Shaq. Shaq also couldn't win as the lone superstar, and I mean even he had Penny. But when you got into crunch time Kobe or Wade was able to step up. There is no Wade on this team. There is not even a Ray Allen on this team.

Yeah I mean, when the Bucks are winning, no one questions if they have enough talent or if Khris or Jrue are a good enough supporting cast. 18 months ago the question was if the Bucks would win 70 games, not if they'd be bounced twice in the second round in back to back seasons. Something went horribly wrong ever since last March. But no one really doubted their upside when they had the best record in the NBA. It was clear what the problem was in the middle of last season. I quit watching the Bucks about that time because the outcome is too obvious. They have a defensive philosophy intent on "running out at the 3pt line with their hand in the air". I view the boxscore because I still care, I just can't watch it. Looks to be much of the same tonight. I know that this is sort of the low-hanging fruit and at this point it's probably time to change gears defensively...but the problem in all of these playoffs duds is always that they just can't score. They go from making it rain all year to being unable to shoot, and the focal point of their offense is a guy that can't shoot FTs trying to muscle his way inside or occasionally dishing it to someone who misses a 3. It's maddening. They need a second star and they don't have one. Holiday was a good try, I dunno what else they could have done, but to beat this kind of team they need a dependable scorer. Middleton ain't it. Giannis is what he is. He can't shoot, that's fine, neither could Shaq. But they're trying to get away with him like he's LeBron and he just doesn't have that kind of all-around game.
-
I just don't see a way out of this purgatory that doesn't involve either Giannis becoming an 80% FT shooter or 2nd player that can drop 30 at will who hits FTs. The former isn't happening so it's probably the latter for Giannis...in another city. They're stuck pretending Middleton is that player and he's just not.
-
Probably, but it was his doing.
-
What's all excuses? The Bucks are a dominant post player who can't shoot FTs and two pretty good but not great role players, then a bunch of guys. It's not an excuse. The Bucks are just worse than the Nets.
-
He is toast, but I don't think it'll amount to anything other than an easy scapegoat. I mean, it should happen, but I don't think Norman Dale would get the Bucks over the hump.
-
No, they're probably not going to win a championship with Giannis. Two years ago was their best shot and they genuinely blew it, but I just don't see how they can do it now with the roster basically set in stone. I suppose it could happen 4 years from now or something, but a Dirk situation where we maybe get one lucky year is looking like our best scenario. We're most likely headed for perennial 3rd or 4th seed.
-
Yep Meh. They are just quite clearly WAY overpowered. This is the modern NBA we're living in. Without superstars colluding to join forces you are not winning a championship. This looks exactly like Cavs-Durant Warriors, and it pretty much is.
-
That's a series, folks. Good night.
-
Unfortunately those aren't as helpful.
-
We are looking like doodoo again, but these fouls on Durant are absurd. He literally wasn't touched by Lopez or Giannis and fell down in front of Tucker. It's ridiculous.
-
It's a foul every time Durant loses control of the ball I guess.
-
I'm not all that convinced that Harden makes the Bucks chances much worse. And I don't mean that he isn't great or something, but the Bucks have a good size advantage that he doesn't really do anything to mitigate and he doesn't play defense. I just don't see a big difference as opposed to when Kyrie and Durant are on the floor; it is still extremely hard to defend. Durant going down would be a different story. Harden's another guy that can hit shots for sure, but I just don't think their matchup with the Bucks changes all that much without him in the game. I have a good feeling tonight though. I think they'll shoot better and win somewhat comfortably.
