I thought I heard that Brooklyn was rated like the 20th best defensive team in the NBA. Think about that. They aren’t a mediocre defense team; they are terrible on defense.
Having Giannis take long range shots or having anyone not named Jrue Holiday set up the offense is just plain stupid. Don’t get me started on Bud going to a zone defense. I mean, it’s one thing to lose like they did in game 1. The shots just weren’t falling and they had plenty of open looks. They also competed and played hard on defense. Game 2 was like a summer league game. I mean, WTF.
Someone posted that game 3 might be the most important games for Bud and the players in their entire careers. Teams can come back from 2-0. The Clippers just did it against Dallas. It’s not impossible. But you know Brooklyn wants it badly. They do not want to get into a physical, long, drawn out series with a team like Milwaukee. Given the fact that Irving and KD and Harden can’t seem to stay on the court very long if I’m them I go full bore and try to close out the Bucks in 4 or 5 games.
