Added to Calendar: 01-08-21

Feels like we are the ultimate Dr. Jekyl - Mr. Hyde team. Hoping we show up tonight. I put a few bucks on the spread (Bucks by 5.5).
 
If we **** the bed later at least we got this sweet 5 minutes of shooting out of tonight.
 
Apparently the great genius master Quin’s game plan is to let Gianis stroll into the paint then stop him.
 
I like how Bolerjack and Harpring are pretending that the Jazz offense is doing amazing today.

The reality is they're settling for the above the break 3's that the Bucks have routinely conceded to teams in the Bud era, because they *know* a team isn't going to bury a high percentage of them on heavy volume.

It's a genius defensive strategy - it's how Milwaukee has routinely had an elite defense. Protect the rim, protect the corner 3's, give up above the break 3's, and dare a team to shoot great from there all game.

A team may have a hot stretch here and there like we just did, but it won't last all game.
 
More homer commentary. The Jazz aren't "shutting down the perimeter", they've just given the Bucks no reason to settle for 3's because scoring inside on us has been so easy.
