Giannis gets t’d up, but he has an argument- he gets shoved and doesn’t get the call.
Giannis getting where he wants early n, but some missed assignments on defense and Bud needs a TO...
Yep. Offense looks good so far, but the defense with a familiar problem - giving up too many good looks from 3. Hornets start 3 for 4 from there.
And just like that, a 9-0 run on 3 straight turnovers...

And the Hornets 4 of 5 from 3.
Charlotte starts out 5-7 from 3... the Bucks are just never going to fix this.
Charlotte has 1 O rebound. BUCKS have 3...
Bucks go all bench lineup again. This got lit up last night.
Bucks opened up the game 10-0 and were up 20-10 and are now down.
COnnaughton, Portis, Augustin, Forbes, and Craig.
Why?
Small ball lineup giving the Bucks fits on the offensive end...
8/11 from fucking 3... you see that Budenholzer???? YOUR DEFENSE ISNT DEFENDING THE THREE!!!!
Good fucking grief! You would think at some point, they’d figure out that this shit ain’t working! You let every team you play shoot a season high or a franchise record from 3, maybe it’s time for you to fucking go.
The Bucks 3 point defense is fucking embarrassing.
Hornets go 8 for 11 from 3 and end the quarter on a 29-11 run.
The Hornets scored 14 points in the last 3 minutes of the quarter.
UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE.
Down 17.
Hornets 10 for 13 from 3.
TEN FOR THIRTEEN. How does that happen ?
The Hornets have scored 38 points over the last 8 minutes.
That's roughly a pace of 228 points over a whole game.
What’s the over/under on the Hornets getting a wide open 3 out of a timeout?

I'd say about 75%.
It's more likely they run a play to get a dunk when the Bucks jump out at the 3 point shooter.
Well, got one, missed, got the rebound, THEN hit the open 3...
The Bucks defensive is just a colossal embarrassment right now.
The Bucks broadcast showed DDV dropping back on a screen at the 3 point line to give one otheir guards a wide open 3. He had Giannis AND Lopez behind him. There was no reason for him to drop.
At least they didn't wait until the end of the 3rd to fight back, but how do you let the same thing happen (RE: 3 point defense) over and over and over and over.
Also, Torrey Craig is one of the worst offensive players in the NBA.
Bucks were up 28-24... then Hornets went on a 27-3 run. Then the Bucks went on a 33-17 run to be down 4.
Bucks have not won a game this year when they trailed at the half...

They certainly can’t afford to let him have the ball... like ever.

Bucks opened up 10-0 and were up 20-10. So that 27-3 run was part of a 35-7 run.
Giannis gets a rare 3 free throws... and misses all but one of them.
Still sloppy offensively. Holiday misses 2 wide open 3s like Bledsoe.
After a timeout at about the 8 min mark, the Bucks started playing more recognizable basketball. Giannis is assertive in the paint, and they’re playing better defense overall.
Just a fucking ridiculous end to the 3rd quarter. Allow the Hornets to go 7-0 to end it.
Bryn Forbes is -28 for his +/- in 8 minutes.
Bucks are +25 in the other 28 minutes.
DJ Augustine is somehow -21 in 4 minutes.
