Bucks at Thunder

Going to OT after Bud calls a play for Jevon Carter and he air balls it. Carter has had a great game, but he's not a guy that's going to get a good shot off in an isolation situation against a good defender.

My god is Grayson Allen bad. Turnovers and hunted on defense.

Just about over. Would have been a great win that turned into a potentially disappointing loss.

Grayson Allen is unplayable in crunch time. Why is he out there instead of Beauchamp?

Bucks lose at the buzzer on a step back 3 from the one guy you couldn't let shoot a step back 3. Poor defense by Matthews.

Lopez gets a call with 0.2 seconds left and hits 1 of 2. From win to loss to win to tie in less than 1 second.

Bucks get back ahead playing Beauchamp to start the second OT. Bring back in G. Allen and run offense through him and he f's up and almost has a turnover. Then they have to force a shot off an out of bounds play and OKC gets a 3 point play off the transition.
Why Bud? Why are you so enamored with Allen?

Bud challenges and they wipe out the and 1. 2 FTs instead.

My favorite whipping boy G. Allen hits 4 FTs to put them up 6 and then commits an idiotic foul to let OKC get an and 1 to get backin within 1 possession.

Bucks hang on for the short-handed win.

Takeaways - Carter with 36 and 12 assists. Lopez with 24 points and 13 rebounds with 5 blocks. Beauchamp with 19.

Nwora basically benched in a game without Giannis, Jrue, Middleton, or Pat C. Played 19 minutes in a double OT game and went 1 for 9 from the field.

What have I told you about premature declarations! 😀

Amazing win all things considered. Watched end of regulation and all 2 hours of overtime.

He almost single handedly lost the game.  No idea why he had so many minutes at the end of reg and the OTs.   Was good to have him for FTs at the end, but other than that his play was terrible.

You are correct on that. But the win probability of scoring on an out of bounds play with 0.6 seconds left was close to zero.

Bud called a great out of bounds play on that set at the end of regulation and OKC played it terribly. Instead of keeping a big guy back and protecting against a lob to Lopez, they switched it and ended up with a guard on him who had to push him to prevent an easy shot.

Here's the win probability showing that flip at the end of regulation.

So you’re saying there was a chance? 😀

I was following on my phone right near end of game when OKc player hit the 3.  The Thunder are pesky and pretty amazing effort by Carter and Beauchamp.  It also says a lot about Nwora.

He's a great catch and shoot guy, but with everyone out, they've tried to run offense through him like he's Middleton.

He reminds me a lot of DDV on drives. He'll get past the first guy who is running him off the three point line, drive into the lane, and generally have no idea what to when he jumps in the air.

He's a much better catch and shoot guy than DDV, but a much worse defender. He gets hunted on switches when he's in the game.

I think they have to use him like Korver in playoff games. Get him out there in short bursts to space the floor, but you can't have him initiating offense off the dribble.

DofuSports app on phone is a relatively easy way to watch on phone..you have to sit through a couple ads to start, but then smooth sailing.

I should check into that.  Thank you BK

Was attending board meeting and dinner out of the area so checked in just in time.
