Bucks @ Suns Monday game thread 3-24-2025

[Mainstreet]

Somebody didn't cover Prince, but he misses a three.

 

[BirdGangThing]

suns are switching late on defense and turning it over on offense

 

[BirdGangThing]

we're getting caught switching while we're also doubling giannis - it's a double whammy for real

 

[BirdGangThing]

we're doubling the hell out of giannis in half court sets

 

[Mainstreet]

Richards with the good defense and the stuff on the other end.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns haven't been able to cover both Giannis and Lopez.

 

[BirdGangThing]

when we double giannis Lopez slides to the basket and all we have is a small there to defend - bud saw it too and called time out but idk how he's going to fix it without adding another big

 

[Absolute Zero]

 

[BirdGangThing]

can't have richards as the primary on giannis unless we add a big

 

[BirdGangThing]

bud comes back and swaps out gillespie for oneale - this was a size move

 

[BirdGangThing]

now bud swaps out dunn for tyus - so we're going to be small again when doubling giannis

 

[Mainstreet]

Looks like the Bucks have scouted Bud.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beautiful floater by Booker.

 

[BirdGangThing]

bucks up 22-15 still no oso - guessing he'll come in when giannis goes out? except giannis basically plays the entire game lol

 

[Mainstreet]

Martin should help defensively as he enters the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. Richards blocked Giannis at the basket.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout. Bucks lead 27-19.

 

[BirdGangThing]

suns are going back to their old ways - bucks avoiding the suns new look defense by beating it systematically

if the double doesn't come giannis does - if the double comes he hits a big under the basket or a sharpshooter behind the line

we're gonna have to ease off on doubling giannis UNTIL he goes to the rim

 

[BirdGangThing]

oso is in there and he's covering giannis

 

[Mainstreet]

Let's see what Oso can do against Giannis defensively.

 

[BirdGangThing]

oso beats giannis on the jump ball goes down and hits the short floater

 

[BirdGangThing]

suns making a run here 27-25 if kd hits these free throws

 

[BirdGangThing]

i want all 3 gauchos at the same time with book and kd - that's been our money maker lately

 

[Mainstreet]

Tyus would normally make those threes.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Bucks 30 - Suns 25
