I don’t know what this defensive scheme is. There are times that Suns players aren’t even setting a screen, just crossing paths with one another and the Bucks are switching it. You might as well let the Suns tell the Bucks who their defensive matchups are. At least that way the defender isn’t standing flat footed trying to pick up a moving ball handler.

I think its called let Paul, arguable the best midrange shooter ever get any mid-range shot he wants.

This court has very forgiving rims. At least 7-8 shots already have hit iron but still crept into the hoop.

Bucks will get swept with this whistle.

I’ve counted 8 misses inside of 3 feet by the Bucks.

Jrue picked a bad time for his Bledsoe tribute

I'm confused as to what is a shooting foul. There were two Suns possessions where I positive the foul was on the ground, and both were allowed to be shooting fouls. One by Paul wasn't even close.

Then one at the end of the half, Lopez went up to tip the ball in was shoved in the back and still just missed the tip-in. Non-shooting foul. Holiday went on to turn it over.

Its probably the most bizarre aspect of NBA officiating. It sometimes appears random if fouls are considered shooting or non-shooting.

That, and lazy passes/dumb shots that are killing them right now.

They said he was pushed before he touched the ball.

Bucks score 2 points in the final 4 minutes. Awesome.

I counted at least 3 offensive rebounds that could have been brought down but were instead converted to awkward tip attempts that missed

Yea it’s so ref dependents. The worst are the ones that ignore shooting fouls on rebounds cause there is no solid possession but have no issue calling the shooting foul on continuation when the shooter was flat footed at the time of contact

Biggest problem is they can’t dominate the paint in this series. Ayton is the best big they’ve played against, and Jae does Jae things playing bigger than he is.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1960 on:** July 06, 2021, 09:29:37 PM »

The Bucks are having a brutal game. Holiday? WTF? You can't turn the ball over against Phoenix. The good news is Giannis looks okay.

wadesworld · « **Reply #1961 on:** July 06, 2021, 09:30:04 PM »

My favorite is when the broadcasters are praising a defensive play as they show the replay of the defender ripping straight across the offensive player’s arm.

Breen is just too enthusiastic for my tastes. Calm down!

Now they're just being outhustled.

Sacrilege. He and Harlan are the best in the business. He’s incredible to listen to when your team is playing well

Great call on Booker kick while shooting. Too often missed.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1966 on:** July 06, 2021, 09:41:41 PM »

Middleton on Holiday are 8-26. On a lot of clean looks. Phoenix looks better defensively to me but the Bucks are having a piss poor game.

Jockey · « **Reply #1967 on:** July 06, 2021, 09:42:24 PM »

I expected Suns win tonite and Bucks win in Game 2..

Then it’s starts to get serious.

But the key is having an announcer you can tolerate when your team is not playing well.

What’d be more worrisome? Bud has never seen the Phoenix Suns play (in person or on film), or Bud has seen Phoenix plenty and this is the defensive scheme he came up with?

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #1970 on:** July 06, 2021, 09:51:00 PM »

Bucks have missed a bunch of close up shots that would have this game closer if they fall but...

This could possibly be the worst defensive game plan I have ever seen.

If the Bucks are being outshot in attempts at the FT 6 to 19 like tonight, it won’t matter

Bud also looks completely bewildered again

What defensive scheme?

Jae is 0 for everything tonight....but is tied with Chris Paul in +/- at +19. Dude just makes teams better

Just about every shot has been a total brick

But hes had some crazy good defensive plays and gotten a lot of tough boards. So fun to watch.
