I'd rather turner beat us than siakam, he was taking a lot of bad midrangers today

his teammates actuallty sepped up

why the fuck is he putting up giannis statlines damn
subtle chasm
cause he doesnt have Giannis to guard him

Is the points in the paint because they were too fast for Brook or because Giannis used to carry

yes
they were running brook off the court
gritty fossil
Brook too slow and Bobby is not a rim protector

giannis is a better center against the pacers

transition too
they feasted in transition

They made the tough middies you want teams to take
subtle chasm
i need jae to give me something, we cant run the dream small ball lineup if he can't shoot or defend 
vestal cape
they feasted in transition
How do we stop that
gritty fossil
And set a playoff franchise record for 3s?
Like I said we did exactly that last year in game 2. #noticing
cinder peak
How do we stop that
We don't.
marsh blaze
How do we stop that
well it limits our ability to get offensive rebounds because we have to get back
subtle chasm
make our own shots
boreal sonnet
didn't they have a playoff franchise record for threes and assists?
marsh blaze
and make shots lol
boreal sonnet
i sincerely hope that's not sustainable
marsh blaze
So what do the bucks do then
hang on lemme call doc
boreal sonnet
other than that we really need roll players to hit threes

Nice. Was there any coaching issues today or no

I actually think we need Malik but I get why he was benched too

I actually think we need Malik but I get why he was benched too
Benching malik was a mistake imo
should’ve been temporary
Not the whole game
viscid meteor
Benching malik was a mistake imo
Was it he caused like 3 turnovers in a row
slow pumice
So what do the bucks do then
Bucks need the players to keep up or slow down the Pacers, unfortunately the players are not athletic enough and are too old. We know this coming into the matchup.
Feel like your next question is how do we get more athletic guys.

Was it he caused like 3 turnovers in a row
Probably

lmao i dunno man. feels like dudes couldn't hit shots outside of brook and dame
and khris too
torpid granite
Was it he caused like 3 turnovers in a row
Yes but then again, they allowed beverley and his shenanigans the whole game
analog solstice
khris is so silky smooth
marsh blaze
the pacers also did a great job of disrupting our half court offense
and we didn't really try and push it either but we don't really do that without giannis
understandably
if the majority of our offense comes in the half court, then guys have to hit shots, and they didn't
defense was a whole 'nother mess
gritty fossil
lmao i dunno man. feels like dudes couldn't hit shots outside of brook and dame
Which isn’t sustainable even with Giannis

If we box out and get our offensive rebounds, they can't make a fast break
slow badger
Yeah honestly I love how our team behaves
marsh blaze
Which isn’t sustainable even with Giannis
no kidding. really underscores Giannis's presence on defense more
slow badger
At least we won’t fucking do rocking baby or weird dancing on the bench
torpid granite
Yeah honestly I love how our team behaves
All it takes is a giannis and they will back off
marsh blaze
willing to bet in non-Brook minutes we got absolutely cooked
worn osprey
i don’t think he can be effective in D with the pacers
slow badger
If not def Sunday

We need giannis and I think giannis is ready too
They said he did warmups right?

He does so much and you see it in the games without him. Mfs just waltzing to the paint
slow badger
I’m not sure
gritty fossil
Giannis has been doing on court workouts and Doc said he’s close
When Luka had this injury/got injured around the same time of year I believe he came back in game 3 or 4 against Utah

and in this case, where the pace is amped up and the opponent is feasting in transition, that negates brook's effectiveness as an under the basket rim protector and bobby can't play that role well enough
worn osprey
if giannis plays in game 3 either he will embarrass the pacers either he will get fouls on him early and will not be able to be effective that’s what i think
pacers will aim at him to get fouled out or smth

Yes he is crucial for this matchup. And without him they have no choice but to outscore the Pacers

yep. honestly we should consider playing AJJ for this exact reason
if we slow down the pacers that unlocks our defense
press the pacers as soon as they cross half court and keep the ball moving
coral lion
Doc should have at least tried ajj tonight

we had ONE player make a three aside from dame and brook….
that is just nasty man
we’re better than that wtf

Story of the game imo.

Yea I think im fully on the Ajax train now, we need some fast athletic defenders in the rotation until giannis gets back
