Discussing how Doc Rivers has improved the Bucks’ defense | Numbers on the Board

Since Doc Rivers has taken over the defense has been better they got the third best transition defense in basketball in that span the actual uh stats of their defense is still around League average but I think they’ve been unlucky with the three opponent three-point shooting um where teams are

Are making more threes the offense has shifted a little bit that’s also round League average at this time but I think they also got extremely unlucky with the three-point shooting but it’s it’s cool to see because like if you look at Malik Beasley shot attempts with Adrian Griffin versus with

Uh Doc Rivers they’re prioritizing a three-point shot a lot more Brook Lopez is at taking two more threes a Game Malik be is taking two more threes a game uh Damen Lillard and this this is a stat I read this morning um his overall efficiency and his productivity has

Dropped under Doc Rivers even though he’s getting to the basket more than before he’s getting less foul calls um yesterday he had the again the big couple big shots but like I’m I’m enjoying it now these stats were against the Hornets twice mhm the Bulls last night they’re about to go through the

Gauntlet right now so we going really see this is these are the type of games that before under AJ Griffin where they would let these teams come out and hang with me they coming out and take care of taking care of business now one of their

Worst losses was under Doc Rivers it was U right before the dead I mean right before Allstar when they lost to Memphis right that was one of the worst losses but yeah they’ve been take care of business again the Hornets came into those two games on a four- game win

Streak you know what I’m saying we look great It’s the Grant Williams team now all of a sudden like no y’all not scoring over 90 this game oh y’all not even hit 100 and then last night I don’t remember what the Bulls ended up with but again it was a defensive master

Class from the bus I hit a three and g about 89 I remember that four quter that’s like the last memory I have before I turned that off and then Yannis is doing his thing I think 46 last night he continued to dominate bro he was on some other stuff yesterday

Like he was he was he was dribbling up the court yeah cuz I’m like why the boy starting at nine he was coming up sizing up pull up three and I was like damn yeah he but appar uh since the All-Star break he’s been shooting like over 40%

From three that’s what people were saying in my comment section I haven’t looked at his numbers post the allstar break but he’s been shooting the ball pretty from three pretty good post allar breaks so it’s a perfect time to get it all going again their schedule coming up

Is I think this shows who they are as a team but that’s why I like these matchups where like you have the Hornets twice because it it’s just it’s just like playing the actual game in itself sometimes you got to get a couple easy ones you come out and you go that’s what

I tell my little brother you come out you you might the first three shots you get may be some threes right now if you on three hey I’m going to be in the stands like man go get you an easy one get a layup get foul make a free throw

And I feel like the game these those type of games for a team like the Bucks is ex those are of no disrespect but it’s a layup for them it’s a layup to get going so now once you get into this tough stretch you you you you you good

You charged up you got some momentum is rolling and now you can start having things click you you need some easy to get things to click obviously you would love to to to start clicking against anybody but sometimes you know it’s the NBA you got to get you a couple

Easy ones get hot get the momentum on your side and once you start to feel good you start to play good and then the D the the dubs start to pile up so I I like it for them and I do agree with that I’m always a big believer in that

People be talking about this and that you got to beat the bad teams you you got to beat the bad yeah you got to beat the bad team if you let if you let a team like the Wizards come in and they only you only win by two you looking

Like damn we barely got by sound like a shot being sent oh sound like a shot being sent but like s we just beat the Clippers before that it’s all right but like now they going to go on a Cali trip um which is going to be very tough and

I’m interested to see how they play in this cuz they are a team that always had a few question marks and now in the Doc Rivers he has to go into now his toughest stretch as a head coach of this team so it’s going to be very fun to see

It’s the Clippers Warriors Lakers Clippers Kings 76ers Sons Celtics that’s insane then they yeah then they got the Nets and then the Thunder then the Lakers again then the Pelicans like these next 11 games are going to tell us everything we really need to know about the Bucks

Which what makes you happy in that seven game stretch like what I think record wise uh nine and two oh my God seven games they’re damn near a favorite oh you said seven no he 11 but them seven games though oh seven first seven he named

Um six and one if if they out 6 and one we talking about them being that for that mean they beat the Clippers they beat the Warriors and then Lakers Clippers again the and I feel like one of those got to be a back to back too uh

Let’s I’m assuming I would I would be happy if if they if I walked out five and two I would be happy the only back toback they got is March 20th to the 21st which is Celtics on the first leg and then Nets on the second so so that’s

Probably that’s the best case scenario out of all that’s probably back at home too right uh they play Boston in Boston okay that might be right there and then they fly home they fly home that night Boston at home is tough yes it is I mean

I mean Boston at home this season they they only lost two or three Games
