Alright, I only got to catch the last few minutes of this game.
Can someone give me a breakdown of how this was a close game?
What were the positives? What were the negatives?
How did AJJ and MarJon look?
Any improvements? With Giannis/Dame chemistry? The defence? The rebounding?
Is Khris okay?
God our defense fucking sucks.
That’s it. That’s the analysis.
Happy we got the win but it’s time to come to terms with the defense. At this point we have to accept this team truthfully has one decent defender outside of Brook in the paint….and he’s a rookie. Marjon has moments occasionally. The big 3 are all massive ball watchers that they frequently lose their man or simply just stop trying throughout a possession and yes, Giannis is extremely guilty of this. The entire perimeter defense is either undisciplined or lazy on 95% of possessions. The 5% where they play great defense, they give up an offensive board which leads to an easy bucket. Dame does not attack a rebound like Jrue did while Brook is in drop contesting the shot. I have hated on Griffin but he has adjusted (which has led to Brook of last year showing up). Sadly it might honestly be a personnel issue. It’s still November so it’s not 100% panic mode yet, but we are far along enough to call a spade a spade, the defense is a problem. Pat, Green, Payne, Bobby, Beasley, etc are not all of a sudden going to become above average defenders. It takes almost a god like offensive performance most nights (Brook tonight) to get a win because the defense is so easy to score against.
HISTORY IN THE MAKING
The defense was steadily improving for a while but it seems to me that it took a nosedive these past few games to the point it’s almost nonexistent. I know that a win is a win but the game being this close against this awful Wizards team is just hard to understand, which also means that they couldn’t extend their point differential considerably
At least Brook had an incredible night which does make this win feel a bit better
Miami, Boston and Philly all lose their last game and Bucks win let’s goooo
wins are wins i do not care how good or ugly they look
Praise that back surgeon.
Prepare for the absolute maddest people in here after a win
need more of a gameplan in the clutch to actually give dame the ball
BIG BROOK ON THEY ASS
any1 got that stat tally for Dame time? ( Close game stats in the last 5 minutes )
Who was the big tan Brook Lopez looking dude
Pat missed those FTs so we could have three 30 point scorers. What a guy
brook lopez to the rescue
just literally could never break away from them
also sad Brook couldn’t get a new career high 🙁 would probably be a record for oldest player to set a new career high in points
Praying for Khris 🙏
3 x 30
No more Wizards until April thank god
Brook Lopez is great that is all.
smoking a fat blunt for robert watkins iv
Bucks BIG3 Set Franchise History tonight and are 3-0 in Tourny Play! I’m not gonna bitch about anything!
Maybe unpopular opinion but Pat Connaughton pisses me off
First time in Bucks history where 3 players score 30 points in a game 🔥
Beas was one point away from a double double he grabbed 11 Boards lmao.
Lopez master class. That man showed up and showed out.
Pretty sure Giannis is dealing with a nasty cold. He looked outta sorts and was literally sitting apart from the team. Being sick sucks and I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to play a pro sport in that condition… 🤧
HALL OF FAMER, BROOK LOPEZ
Bucks win, sub complains. Fucking hate it here 90% of the time
Wizards shot 40% from 3 and Bucks only shot 29% and still come away with a win. That’s impressive!
We shot 29% from 3. Only caught the second half but our ball movement needs to get better, as well as our off ball movement
I’ll take 6-1 in the last 7 games.
What time do the clippers lose today ? Asking for a bearded friend of mine.
But I was told Brook was washed
dame+giannis pick and roll? nah, pick and BroLo
Oh my god people. Winning. Don’t care.
Clippers are down 20 in the first quarter.
I am almost feeling sad for them.. not.
I liked where Dame turned down Giannis screen, hits Giannis on the short roll and then Giannis dished to Brook. That action should open up a lot of open shots for other guys. Also, should give Giannis space to operate for his own shot.
Loved AJ Green getting four threes up in three minutes. Didn’t love the 1-4 part but he definitely understood the assignment when he went in.
I want to win this whole thing man
