Middleton?
Leonard doesn't have the explosiveness he usually does
More Brogdon and Giannis, less Bledsoe and Middleton
Giannis has 6 turnovers. Most of it due to the Raptors' defensive scheme. I'm surprised Bud hasn't done something to adjust. Post him up or let him attack from the wing to move the Raptors defense?
MichiganPacker2 posted:Why isn't Giannis getting the ball?
This is the big question. Though Giannis is forcing things right now, heâs at his best when he gets the ball and can figure it out. Heâs an expert at reading where the help is coming from, but heâs not playing patiently tonight for some reason.
Run more for Brogdon and Mirotic, they're the only half way reliable options so far.
It's almost like Bud sees Kawhi guarding Giannis and figures they have huge advantages with Middleton and Bledsoe attacking one on one.
Giannis has only 5 shot attempts inside the 3 point line. No offensive rebounds and 6 turnovers (almost all on responding to the double team)
Ersan misses point blank and a Middleton miss with no movement
This is ****ing terrible basketball. And itâs not because of great defense. This is just ****ing ugly.
Dangerous time right now. In danger of losing contact.
Middleton should sit the **** down.
Need a run soon here...
That's on Ilyasova?
What a shit call- Ilyasova gets plowed into Lowry and gets his 4th...
Big foul on Powell...
Giannis and Middleton have 13 points, are 5-18 from the floor, and the Bucks are only down 2.
Excellent finish! Energy up, defense playing, attacking the paint strong!
Down by 4 at end of 3.....
Who thinks Bucks will win this one? I do.
I love this dirty, ugly, nasty, disgusting basketball.
Just win baby

That was beyond belief. It was like he was mauled by an offensive lineman.
George Hill providing some stabilization.

And Siakam, Powell, M. Gasol, and Ibaka have all hit 3s and are 8 for 14 from 3. The Raptors supporting guys can't play any better and the Bucks all-stars have been shut down.
And it's a 2 point game and Bucks ball to start the 4th.
Just able to begin watching at 4m mark of third.
Boy, Hill had some nice contributions. So nice to have depth.
How does Giannis only have 6 points?
That defensive stop by Mirotic on the Gasol back down was precious.
Giannis is the Bucks 8th leading scorer right now.
Giannis has 7 turnovers and 6 points.
**** this is hard to watch.
Man, first 3 trips in 4th and no score.
Mirotic with two wide open missed 3s and Bledsoe misses a wide open 12 footer.
Crappy shooting! Let Brogdon shoot it; at least heâs hitting some. Or Lopez.
Get the Greek in the paint,.
Giannis has no FT attempts. Especially after the last drive, that is bullshit
They have their whole backcourt in foul trouble and Leonard limping around and canât run and they donât know what to do with it...

How about the guards bring t up an throw it to him in the post? Basketball 101
Post him up deeper... get him closer to the basket to start with. Then alternate with more motion to get them chasing...
So that wasn't a foul on Giannis. Yeah, right.
Quite obvious refs have been told not to call any fouls vs Giannis.
Back down by 9 now.....This is it. They either start to close or head to game 4 up 2-1
Nice start to the 4th. 2 points in 3 minutes.

They are in danger of losing a game where Bud has been outreached (it least that appears to be the case)
