Giannis has been good man. I still hate his game. He really would be the best 5 in the league. Imagine a pick and roll with James Harden and Giannis. That would be the most lethal thing ever probably.
Bucks just aren't a synergistic team. They have 1 lockdown shooter that isn't a liability on defense (Middleton). Both Jrue and Middleton are very good players but neither are good playmakers or great at running the most important play in today's NBA - the pick and roll. Pj, conington, Lopez and everyone else are average shooters and none require defense to guard them closely on the 3 point line. This leads to a crowded paint and along with the lack of playmakers, few passing/driving lanes.
What's sad is even if Jrue play poorly offensively against tougher competition. When he faced us this regular season, he lit us up in Q3 of one of the games. There's levels. Here's hoping defense is a goal for the Rockets next year.
Paul BANG Booker BANG Ayton BANG Bridges BANG Cam Johnson BANG Cam Payne BANG BANG BANG BANG Deer is dead. Spoiler
Props to Giannis for not letting the Bucks go down. Middleton and Holiday have been straight up trash. I may not like Giannis, but he really gave it his all tonight. He may need to get on the Karl Malone cardio program this summer running up hills to get his stamina in check. He's been winded since the 3rd.
I just wonder where they go from here. Middleton and Jrue are not the answers. He needs a legit all-star next to him but they have no assets really to swing a big trade unless some team really likes 30 year old Middleton.
but to the extent he does that most of the time it IS a defensive foul. He’s not just charging into defensive players in charge position…. Most of the time.
