Bucks @ Suns Wednesday game thread 2-10-2021

Jesus... really Ayton?

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Bucks 71 - Suns 59

 

[Chaplin]

That was what is considered a superstar call.

 

[Cheesebeef]

And of course Giannis is 5/6 from the line against us.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jesus... really Ayton?

Giannis just runs into him. Ayton almost had his back turned.

 

[Chaplin]

Giannis just runs into him.

Would have been a no call if it was anyone else.

 

[Proximo]

I think Milwaukee is unbeatable if they shoot 3’s like this.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Not going to win many games giving up that many open 3s. Let's see if Phoenix can tighten up that perimeter defense in the 2nd half or it'll be a loooong night.

Bad call IMO. Giannis gets the star treatment.

Yep. Only Giannis and Middleton can do anything from 2-point range, so we will be in a very good position if we can get their 3s to stop falling.

 

[Proximo]

It looks to me like we are one of the WORST defenders of the 3 in the league.

thats really not it. Most teams could not shoot threes this well if they were all open shots.

It was basically shooting practice for the Bucks.

Ha! It’s certainly part of it!

 

[Finito]

Suns playing great but the Bucks are just flat out on fire

 

[Proximo]

Ha! It’s certainly part of it!

Have you seen how well they have been shooting it over the last 6 games? They have 5 guys over 50 percent. It’s not just our D.

 

[Chaplin]

We are also afraid to stand in front of Giannis. You know he’s going to drive most of the time, step in, take the charge! Make him want to take the 3 every time.

There we go. You said it had nothing to do with our D. Now it’s not just our D. That I agree with.

We should at least make it difficult, and we are not.

 

[Proximo]

I really did not think the d was that bad. Giannis is going to create open 3’s unless you want to let him just dunk all game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns not getting any production from their bench other than Moore (6) and Cam (3) but open threes are the culprit.

 

[Chaplin]

Monty has to game plan for it. It’s not like this is a big secret.

Monty doesn’t prepare well for teams that shoot well from the perimeter.

Giannis is pretty agile for his size. He's good at euro-stepping and spinning around contact. Had a couple of nice ones already in this game so it's not that easy. But, in principle, Phoenix at this point should be trying to get MIL to take more contested twos at the rim than wide open 3s as they have. It's much easier said than done but right now they are taking nothing away.

I mean that’s a lot easier said than done. If it was that simple he wouldn’t be back to back MVP

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Tough half with bucks just going nuts from 3. I wish our shooters were that knock down on open 3s. Cam had three pretty open threes and only knocked down one. Bucks wouldn’t have missed those.

on giannis’ last drive it took him only 3.1 seconds to get the full length of the floor. Someone other than Ayton needs to challenge him before he gets to half court so he has to change direction and slow down. Allowing him to just come downhill at Ayton is a recipe for disaster.

this was bucks SIXTH 70 point half of the season. Sheesh.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Bucks signed Portis for just under $8 million for 2 years. Less than $4 million a season.

True but we aren’t doing much of anything right now.
