Might wanna defend Butler
― frogbs, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 00:35 (three years ago) link
bucks still might win bcuz they're very good but this game has been played on the heat's terms... they're getting to the line and the rim almost at will
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 September 2020 00:36 (three years ago) link
giannis should look to move the ball faster when theres three guys walling him off on the break he end up like dribbling into the corner and lets the defense set too often

the problem with these out of bounds reviews is in real time its called out off of the guy who knocks it out of bounds, then on the review theyre looking at if the balls still touching the other guys hand milliseconds later, which is silly
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 01:25 (three years ago) link
the bucks have a better top 2 but i do think a problem for them in this series is that jimmy and dragic are not gonna be scared at the end of games. all the pressure being on the bucks to begin with combined with the heat having 2 vets who are comfortable w/ the ball in their hands in crunch time could be a combustible combo. jimmy was out of his mind in the fourth there but giannis and middleton did not answer the bell at the end.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 September 2020 01:29 (three years ago) link
yeah giannis in the crunch is a big question mark cause of his style of play and then the whole team is set up to revolve around him so what happens
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 01:32 (three years ago) link
the bucks need bledsoe to come back and be somewhat effective. the heat have incredible defensive depth on the wing but are vulnerable to guards who can score off the dribble as brogdon showed in the last series. he was killing herro in particular but the bucks don't have any way to really attack him or dragic at the end of games. i think the heat will be ok with giannis and middleton trying to go against their army of wing defenders in the halfcourt. george hill can make open threes but connaughton, dante d, wes matthews aren't scaring the heat. it's a problem for the bucks bcuz herro lets the heat have a third ball handler on the court (four if you count bam) in crunch time whereas the bucks are basically going to be ride or die w/ their big 2
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 September 2020 01:35 (three years ago) link
i hope they have a better plan than hoping for bledsoe lol

rly tho the bucks most important guys have to be better
1. giannis has to make free throws. he can't win games by jump shooting so he will have to get to the rim in the half court which means he'll be shooting free throws.
2. middleton has to be an elite shooter all game... he was hitting tons of shots in rhythm in the first half but is going to have to make contested jump shots and off the dribble threes in crunch time
3. bud has to come up w/ ways to get both guys some shots they like, even just creative ways to get giannis in the post touches. didn't feel like much was going on w/ their offense in the second half
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 September 2020 01:53 (three years ago) link
the bucks look so passive in games like this...they look like they're confused by what the other team is doing. it isn't news that you can't just let jimmy butler get to any spot he wants in the midrange.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 02:03 (three years ago) link
then you get giannis dribbling into the paint with the ball an arm's length away from his body. shocking, but a savvy defender will steal that.

the basketball hasn’t been great. the rockets have one good player... the thunder have 2.5? there’s so much narrative drama tho that i still love it
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 September 2020 03:54 (three years ago) link
cp at the end of the last few games has been fun to watch tho. he undressed covington tonight
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 1 September 2020 03:55 (three years ago) link
yeah he won that game single handedly no one else could do anything
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 03:58 (three years ago) link
kinda wild how invisible gallo is in these games. it’s really just cp and schroeder. SGA has been downright awful.

Gallo has sucked this series but he had 25 pts in 28min on 52/44 shooting tonight

Russ had at least 4 passes this game that were as bad or worse than that. Harden relying on step back 3s to end tight games when he’s tired vs cp working that mid range was poetic.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 06:35 (three years ago) link
Gallo had a really great 3rd q and kept okc in the mix single handedly for a spell.

On one hand I want the thunder to knock out the rockets for max drama but on the other hand I am way more interested in viewing a lakers vs rox series.

They’ve been putting the clamps on gallo the whole series but he found a way to have two good games
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 13:22 (three years ago) link
gallo had a couple weird bad plays down the stretch last night first got covington up in the air and then just forgot to draw the contact but still took a shot like he drew contact which missed badly then got the ball at the 3pt line w a second left on the shot clock and took a shot like there was .25 seconds left on the shot clock and missed badly
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 13:52 (three years ago) link
feel like if the rockets beat the lakers the nba would have to close just on principle
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 13:54 (three years ago) link
the interesting thing about okc-lakers would be the fact that the lakers would have no shot of guarding chris paul and don’t have anyone great for schroeder either. it just seems like they’re hanging on by a thread tho being dragged by those two and it’s hard to see them winning more than a game off the lakers.
