We could not shoot any better and we're still tied.

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.

 

[str8line]

Has anyone said anything bad about Clarkson yet?

 

[str8line]

What a game. Fun stuff.

 

[Utesnjazz]

Love the Fovors Gobert lineup

 

[fishonjazz]

Clarkson is a hell of a scorer.

 

[str8line]

Clarkson plays harder than any Jazzman I can remember since Stockton.

 

[fishonjazz]

Damn that 3 ball by giannis looked so good.

 

[Utesnjazz]

Damn I really wanted The Rudy Fav combo to be positive.

 

[Just Ted]

We are gonna lose by 20. We are shooting a high percentage right now and we are tied. This is gonna be a long second half of we don't start playing some D.

 

[Just Ted]

And we don't play D anymore.
