Jazz at Bucks Litmus Test—Game Thread

Bucks are a damn exhausting team to guard as well. So many shooters then you have Giannis ramming it down the lane. I can see how Giannis dominates so easily against most teams.

I think their length and energy on defense wore us down after a while. It just forces the execution and shot making to be tight.
 
It would have been interesting to have a healthy Exum attacking the rim. Maybe Giannis gets in foul trouble quicker.

Yup. Execution wasn't as sharp and creating good looks became extremely difficult against their defense at the end of 3Q+ 4Q. Lots of length and athleticism by the Bucks.

Probably not the best opponent for Exum. They were packing the paint like maniacs. And the refs let go a lot of contact. I guess we'll never know
 
This game was such a track meet. Exum would have been great to have in this type of game... he usually does well in wide open games. They were playing at such a high pace it's no wonder we ran out of gas. Overall good game from the team. I thought their length bothered us, especially DFavs as well. Glad they are in the East. On to the next one.

As far as the out of bounds calls, can't really comment because the feed I was on never showed replays of those.

They were the wrong calls but they were very very hard to see without the replay

The Bucks stuck to him like glue tonight, it felt like he could never get open the whole night.

Without Rubio it became even easier to shut Ingles down from what I could tell. Could only initiate and could never get space or be set up for decent 3 ball looks

this is a disaster 4th quarter from the jazz coaching staff.

Mitchell has no ****ing legs in his shot-- I cannot ****ing believe they think they can play a player for a full ****ing half.

I hear you. I think though it is accentuated when the player is being relied upon to shoot and initiate a lot for that many minutes. A lower usage player or player that relies less on scoring can play 40+ 24 minute halves pretty easily. But in any case he did get two short rests in the 2nd half.

And then of course the likes of Harden have done this a lot over the years.

Some of them... the problem was some were huge swing calls...

Bledsoe basically tackled Gobert on the paint screen for a few seconds when he was late for the rotation Giannis gets an and one...

Biggest problem is our shot went to straight garbage... tired legs or whatever the reason was.

Guys played well and I’m very pleased with the effort. Thought we were able to do some things and that they got good production out of the role players ... thought we’d lose by 40.
 
I did think they should have reviewed the Giannis leg hold as a tech or potentially flagrant... if Joe had really tried to force his way out or if he had not felt it early a guy can get hurt on that play and it was clearly intentional... like that’s worse than shoving a dude after a play... essentially a blatantly obvious trip.
