You're giving too much credit to Bud in the playoffs. As a coach he shows all of his cards in the first game and eventually gets out-coached. Ask the Cavs.
I guess I was wrong about the Bucks being not that good. They have a good game plan to neutralize Harden. In a series I’d expect Harden to adjust. Frustrating seeing the Rockets can’t even hang with the Bucks. This is an embarrassment where I thought Rockets were head and shoulders better than them...
Well, so far, I don't think this game really says much about either MVP candidate. But, man, it shows the difference in the teams around Giannis and James. Shumpert has been a disaster this game. Almost leading the team in turnovers.
When you run pick and roll with Giannis as the center, it will not work. He can play Capela and James Harden. Harden has to run the PnR with a bad perimeter defender. Tucker off tonight needs a back and a shorter leash.
First Ariza and his trash shooting, now we have Tucker and Gordon stepping to the plate. WIDE OPEN SHOTS. WIDE OPEN!!!!!!!!!! WTF
This comes down to missing wide open shots, and not taking a layup every single time down the court. I mean, if Harden has a lane like that against a normal defense he scores every time. He should be scoring every time.
Shumpert and Rivers are seriously bad, irrelevant players. Should’ve left them in the pre-warriors era.
