Bucks start 0 for 4 with a miss by every starter but Lopez before Giannis hits a 3.
What a POS dirty play by Durant to push Giannis down like that. Glad they called it, but of course Giannis comes up WAY shot on the FT. That looked awful
Packers at Nets? 😂😂😂
Dint like anything they’re getting on offense. Way too impatient. Lopez jacking up early 3s is not what they need. Giannis needs to move into the paint like he did on the one jumper.
Holiday already in Harden’s head.
Show more patience on offense and these guys will melt like butter...
Nets playing off Giannis about 6-8 feet when's outside the arc.

Obviously I've got the Packers in my head.
Bench picking things up... great movement and Connaughton connects... Portis 2 quick buckets.
The Nets may score a lot of points, but they are going to give up a ton as well. They have very, very weak interior defense. Bucks got a lot of point-blank layups when Giannis sat down.
What a play by Portis!!! 1 on 3 and contests and gets the board!!!!

Yup... Jordan isn’t an elite defender anymore, and the Bucks gave more bounce.
Giannis sitting while Durant sits. Holiday played almost the entire first Q.
Holiday sits and Harden eats Connaughton alive for 5 points in 45 seconds
Bucks drop defense is getting shredded, but the Nets can't stop the Bucks either.
Giannis can’t keep giving Green open 3s...

That's the scheme. You can't run a drop/switch scheme against the Nets and that will be even more the case if Kyrie returns to planet Earth at some point this year. The Bucks run happened when the Nets' bench guys went 1 for 5 from 3 at the end of the first quarter. The Nets starters are 6 for 7 from 3 and Durant hasn't even attempted one yet.
Bucks 4 for 16 from 3. Giannis is 2 for 3. The rest of the team is 2 for 13.
Lopez has been horrible from deep.
Durant mugs Giannis, gets a jump ball... LOL
If Augustin can't hit open 3s, he's unplayable because he's such a liability on defense.
Bucks not shooting well... but they’re keeping pace. Some of those 3s start falling gonna be a different ballgame.
Enough of the no-pass possessions!!!! Move the ball, penetrate! FUCK!
Well, they shot 4/19 from 3 and 43% overall and are down 1.
Christ..... I can shoot better from 3 -- Lots of open shots too.
Bucks will probably end up losing but 1 thing is for sure....DDV is giving Harden fits. Playing really good D.
Hopefully they heat up from 3 in 2nd half
Bucks Big 3: 15-30, 37 points
Everyone else: 7-21, 19 points
Nice up and under move by Giannis. First time he hasn't gone to that fadeaway from the baseline in a while. Hits 1 of the 2 FTs.
Game getting away from the Bucks mainly because of atrocious 3 point defense.
DDV just doesn't finish well at the rim.
Bucks down double digits.
Unbelievable. The Nets are basically shooting practice 3s with no one hear them.
Augustin and Forbes are 0 for 7 from the floor and 0 for 4 from 3. All the looks have been wide open and they've been liabilities on defense.
Is Torrey Craig dead?
Connaughton misses two wide open 3s, getting the bench guards to an awesome 1 for 10 from the floor and 1 for 7 from 3.

And Augustin misses a layup and it's 1 for 11.
Augustine would be amazing in horseshoes. Not so much at basketball.
Buckss defense is getting embarrassed in this 3rd quarter. About to give up 40 or so.
Connaughton, Augustin, and Forbes is probably never going to work against good teams. They are just overmatched.
Giannis misses a 3 pointer by at least 4 feet. It's tough when they lay off you by 12 feet and you are surrounded by guys that are about 1 for 14 on the night themselves.
Holiday kept the Bucks within striking distance. If that's Bledsoe it's a 20 point game right now. Of course if that's George Hill instead of Augustin (0 for 7) it would make a different too.
The domino affects of those deals will be debated for years if the Bucks don't get to the Finals at some point with Giannis. It was Bledsoe, Hill, and Brogdon for Holiday. Holiday is the best of the 3, but the lack of any quality guard depth at all is their Achilles' heel right now.
Harden has had three isos on Connaughton and he's got 8 points on that.
The Nets bench is terrible also. When Kyrie comes back they'll be 6 deep.
The Bucks are also 6 deep.
They both need the same things. A backup big man to eat up some minutes against Embiid and some wing defense (Torrey Craig?).
