They are denying Paul the mid-range shot.

Got to keep Giannis out of the paint. I'm a little worried Ayton will be timid trying to avoid fouls.

Thank you bud for calling a timeout that Monty should have.

they’ve shut out Paul, book, and Ayton so far.

That was WIDE OPEN BOOK.

Now 34% from the field overall and 20% from 3 in the last 7 games for Booker. That ain’t gonna get it done.

Booker = Bricker, so far.

The part I'm most concerned about is they are not letting Paul take the mid-range shot.

Also the Bucks are playing very physical putting a body on the guards.

But he has to keep trying. He HAS to.

Agreed, but not 3s. Especially stepbacks. He needs to go to the bucket if he can’t hit the broadside of a barn.

this has the feel of Game 5 Clippers. The Bucks are MUCH more aggressive, taking everything at us. Need to respond because this Bucks team can get on a roll.

Hopefully, this isn't one of those games where Ayton decides to take the evening off.

But he has to quit shooting as many 3s. If they’re wide open, shoot it. Otherwise drive and pull up or get to the rack.
I didn’t say he needs to keep trying 3s. But he does need to keep shooting. Drive to the paint and get some FTs, whatever. We can’t bench him OR tell him not to shoot.
