Feeling out process so far. Still never like the no-pass possessions. I’ve only been saying that since fucking ever…
Gotta watch their bench guys- they can shoot 3s…
Holiday an afterthought it seems
Get back to him running the point. Not Middleton, not Giannis.
Booker getting some bullshit calls
You initiate the contact that’s not a foul
Keep pounding it inside. The 3s will come. Pound them inside…
That was a pretty crappy 1st quarter offensively. Yet only down 4. Booker on pace to get 25 FT attempts. As a jump shooter. What a joke.
@Tschmack posted:They need him for games 3-7 that’s why. Like a healthy Giannis. You understand that right?
Yeah, they need to get this unhealthy Giannis off the floor. Like now. Why would the medical staff clear someone so obviously not healthy to play in a game like this?
Look at him limp off the floor!!! Oh wait, that's the white dude on the other team.
If they’re going to allow these easy switch mismatches, they’re going to struggle to defend. They’re forcing the offense to be perfect, which they’re not. Suns are too good at iso basketball- they’re going to have to mix things up.
Crowder shoved Giannis - no call- but the return body is an offensive foul… Bucks will lose this kind of game. Suns can play this cheap ass shit all day. Bucks need to keep their composure, here…
The Suns are the worst floppers Ive seen. This is ridiculous. every time down the floor ad on both ends. They wont get these calls in MKE
13-4 FT advantage for a jump shooting team…
Hate seeing a 7 foot player try to quickly tap a rebound in instead of just getting the rebound and setting your feet. High probability of scoring or getting fouled.
Suns are allowed to push and hack and shove- Bucks get whistles.
There’s zero flow offensively for the Bucks in this first half
Holiday and Middleton are 7-21. Giannis acting like he’s a PG. only 4 FT attempts because everyone stands around and watches Giannis and then they settle and Jack up shots. Just not good basketball.
The Bucks are so much better inside yet continue to do what they do.
Get back to bully ball. Crowder can’t defend Giannis or Lopez inside. Honestly, neither can Ayton. Go right at them.
We've missed 10 bunnies in this game. Giannis looks great. We are going to be fine. Especially with Saric going down. Hopefully Middleton and Holiday shoot better in second half.
They need to move the ball better. Same shit different day. Giannis gets it drive to the hoop. Someone else gets it it’s no pass just iso and shoot. It’s stupid.
Get Giannis down on the block and let Holiday set up the offense. Make the extra pass or two. The Suns aren’t world beaters but JFC the Bucks just play really dumb at times. Everyone knows you have size on them. Quit messing around and go right at them every play. Stop jacking up 3s.
I can see the Bucks body language- they’re making no adjustments, and the results are the same. No one ran down the floor on that play- and they’ll continue to be frustrated because they’re throwing the same handful of stones at the same brick wall and getting nothing different. After a while, it affects you…
Holiday has the yipps again. Take the wide open 3.
And this was the concern. Offensively, they were one of the best half court teams in the NBA. Quality shots and a superior approach. Bucks play right into their hands with the quick shots the other way, and they’re abusing the matchups they’re creating every time down the floor.
They’re playing high energy at home. It’s not a shock. They need to get hot or it’s 1-0.

Wish I had any faith Bud would adjust.
we do what we do.
It's time to sit Giannis for the rest of the night. He's proven he can come back and be effective. No risk risking injury in Game 1.
All night long shots in the paint not dropping
I don't think you give up this early when you have a guy that can go off for 20+ in any given quarter.
In Giannis' 24 minutes the Bucks are -2
In the 12 minutes he sat, they are -14.
Holiday a no-show tonight… and that’s the part about Giannis coming back that you fear. But they’re also missing good looks.
Chris Paul celebrating already? Hmmmmm… go after that fucker the rest of the game until he breaks down. He’s only having to play one wsy- make him suffer…
Playing Giannis at the 5 is really the only option. Lopez and Portis are not playable against their pick and roll.
