This game goes to show how important Holiday is to this team.  

They just don’t have any flow or rhythm offensively and defensively there’s a big gap.

Had he not been quarantined they probably win 3 of 4 on this trip instead of losing 3 of 4.

It was 13-3 to start and the Bucks were setting the tone early. Then with about 7 and a half minutes left in first quarter, DDV picked up his second foul on a reach in. Augustin checked in for him and it was an immediate 14-0 run by the Thunder. Augustin is such a liability on defense that opposing teams just isolate him and force a double team as his guy backs him down toward the basket. This results in the ball swinging around the perimeter and usually either an open 3 point shot or a drive to the basket against a scrambling defense.

The fact that DDV went out meant they had to play with an Augustin/Forbes backcourt which sets you up for terrible defense. If they hit their 3s on the offensive end, you can trade baskets. Last night, they were both shooting bricks, and when that's the case you can lose ground quickly.

Lopez was also awful last night. He gave them nothing on offense and continually got roasted by Al Horford on defense.
