Bucks vs Nets | RD-2 GM-1 |

Shit if that was a bad loss wtf was last nights sorry ass performance.

Aidan Willner

good point, but I've seem other guys take advantage of this to euro like harden, westrbook, etc. Personally, when I play, when a defender is stationed a big higher out of the restricted it becomes easier to euro. maybe im wrong but i never really thought of that as to big of a problem?

The game felt as simple as one team hitting their 3-ball while the other didn't. Bucks also shot terribly in their game 1 matchup against the Heat but pulled that one out because the Heat aren't explosive on offense. I would have liked to see coach Bud make some adjustments when their 3s aren't hitting. They definitely need to attack the basket more because that's when they can utilize their size get more offensive rebounds off misses like in the early part of the game.

Agree, Bucks played too quick. Slow down and Bucks win this series. We've seen KD and Kyrie struggle in slower matchups before, especially when it gets physical.

Kevin Chan

He is long but he can't euro at the 3pt line. They should stop letting him bring up the ball. Get the rebound, let Holiday dribble across the court, do some kind of pick-n-roll action, let Giannis be the roll man and negate the wall.

Kevin Chan

i thought jrue and giannis would be more hungry to attack the rim. but i like the fact that u pointed out that the nets defenders created the wall higher up which worked, but then why wouldn't giannis use his euro?

Pirate Ramsay

hamstring has been bothering harden for years actually. Man needs to go vegan like his bro CP. in fact, the biggest shame was that last series was by far his best playoffs and being the nets best offensive player. pain

Pirate Ramsay

I agree that the pace needs to change for the Bucks, but Middleton to me just didn't have that dog in him to compete with these guys.

Keith Reynolds Jr.

Bud getting out coached lol that is no surprise at all. Game 2 is do or die for the Bucks. If you are going to tempt fate and play Lopez so much you at least have to get him in the post and go at KD as much as possible especially as KD picked up several early fouls.

Yessir, loved the analysis alch keep pushing this great content, definitely staying subscribed in the offseason! 👍🏼

I don't understand why they let Giannis bring the ball up and attacks from the top of the 3 point line. It just lets the Nets set up the wall and draw charges. He should just primarily play as the roll man with Jrue and catching the ball deep in the paint.

This felt like this game was one of those CP3 led pick up games when they all get together to play in the off season. Agree if The Bucks play at this pace forget it. At least with Harden out and I think he is, it will even up the match up. This should be the best series to watch. The Nets have got to get tired at some point, and agree foul trouble should be a central goal for the Bucks..

He has got to shorten that rotation.. it’s not like BK is deep

Athletic Alchemy

Well said. Still just tried to steam roll. The time he has spent trying to become a 3 point shooter should ace been spent with his back to the basket.

Athletic Alchemy

Nah.. but if they try to play at this pace game two Bud can start packing his bags

Athletic Alchemy

They seemed more prepared, but maybe that is the KD KY rub. I bet Giannis shoots 12-15 ft gm 2

Athletic Alchemy

I keep waiting for him to slow down but this is kinda who he’s been since arriving in the BX

Athletic Alchemy

He definitely gonna get a opportunity on a big stage

Athletic Alchemy

So glad you put that Teague shot in this. One of the worst shots I’ve ever seen hahaha

Sevrin Weiss

Two MVPs into his career, Giannis is still raw. His talent probably has gotten in the way of his development. Not sure what changes the Bucks are gonna make in G2, knowing that Bud will probably continue to Bud.

Do we overreact to game 1

richard phan

Do you think the Bucks were out coached or was just just the Blake X factor and the experience of the Nets players? I didn't think about the comparison to the Dubs until you mentioned it. Interesting.

Game ball to Blake for sure- but it’ll be the last. I doubt he’ll be that impactful again.

Bucks were so disappointing...they fell for the okie doke & settled for whatever the Nets baited them into SMH.

Lady J

Mike James is so cold man, I think he's gonna come up big in this series..
