Credit for getting Ajax in there to start the second half, but Brook — bless him — was a liability down the stretch. Van Vleet manipulated the Dame/Brook switch to perfection and had em both on strings.
GA’s quote on the matter…
>“We cannot die on screens. We die on screens, including myself,” Antetokounmpo said. “I’m not trying to throw anybody under the bus. That’s why I keep saying including myself. Always. It starts from me. I’m the leader of the team. It always starts with me. I have to be better, but we cannot die on screens. What, because Bobby (Portis) and Brook (Lopez) are back there, what does that mean? That we are going to— we are just going to die on screens and let the guy go downhill and shoot a floater because Brook is going to save our butts? That’s how we’re going to win a championship? No, that’s not how we’re going to win a championship.”

Clearly the Defense this season is sub par and we will not make it past the second round. Love Damian, and as a Portland transplant, I am well aware of his defensive flaws. We either need someone to hide it, or figure out someone else to run the defense besides our coach.

At least Giannis was something
