Like Wilbon said....."Pacers should be up by 20"
Welp .... Guess the Bucks are going to have to run them outta the gym in 2nd half

I don't think they can. Lillard looks like he doesn't want to be there. Middleton is sleepwalking. The only Buck playing hard is Giannis and he is getting beat down the floor. The others aren't shooting well, at all.
I wonder if Bucks were partying last night in the casino??
Bucks regain the lead with a 3 by Dame and Haliburton answers with a 3
OMG!! 😲
Dame!!!!
When he's on.....fuhgeddaboutit
Giannis with his usual 10 minute wait at the FT line.
94-91 Bucks at the end of 3. Our shooting improved and we had a bit more zip in our step, this quarter.

I think Dame was based on his start. Maybe Portis too.
Another one of those quarters please!!!
Close these fuckers out

Yeah Dame.....that 33 year old body doesn't respond like when it's 25, now.....does it! 😆
Cam Payne looks hesitant on his wide open 3s. Can't have that when you are on the floor with Giannis.
Bucks down 4 now. Cam Payne and Beauchamp almost entirely responsible for a poor 4th quarter star.
Cam Payne then picks up a technical. When you are scrub, you have to STFU.
No more fucking around. Put all the starters back in and ride them until the end
If the Bucks simply played C- level transition defense they'd be up by double digits. Getting beat constantly on makes and misses. Down 1.
Bucks starters at high minutes with a lot of time left in a fast paced game. The bench guys have been basically unplayable. They miss Connaughton in this type of game.
+/- Stats
Beauchamp is -17 in 15 minutes
Payne is -18 in 16 minutes
Portis is -6 in 17
Too much time left to play starters the rest of the game.
Lotta ballgame left
Another transition layup (put-back this time because Haliburton hustled and no Buck did).
The Pacers want this game more. Sometimes that's enough even with the talent disparity.

You can't trust anyone on the bench right now.
This is actually a good way to evaluate playoff pressure moments and Beauchamp and Payne basically wet the bed. Payne getting a technical foul is inexcusable. It's bad if one of your stars gets that, but when the 9th guy in your rotation gets teed up for not shutting up that's a lack of composure.
Griffin is finally forced out of the zone. Was a good move to go to it, but probably stayed in it too long.
Now some terrible offensive possessions and this is on the verge of getting away from them.
3 point shooting by the Bucks feels desperate, to me. Just throwing it up from deep.
Hey. It’s not Beasley Time. Sheesh
None of the role players are hitting open 3s. Beasley, Payne, and Portis are 1 for 8 on mostly wide open 3s. That's the difference between winning by double digits and potentially losing a close game.
3:26. Bucks are gassed and down 3. Not a great combination. The bench struggles are really the problem.
Terrible execution in the clutch. Bad turnover. Giannis getting beated on the glass. Can't get rebounds multipe times.
Down 8. Game over.
Embarrassing down the stretch.
