2021-22 NBA Thread: The Bucks are Reigning Champs

[GB Warrior]

Probably can't shoot that poorly from 3 in a 2nd game.

I thought the Bucks misses really dug into their defensive strategy early and often - they weren't able to pressure the way they'd like. Plenty to clean up.

Brooks just got kicked out.

No one is saying that but the Bucks lost their way this evening.

Or the Celtics found theirs.

Or the Celtics found theirs.

They certainly did in the first half but the Bucks looked disjointed and impatient.  Teams can carve you up if you overpressure the ball.  I thought they were undisciplined on both ends of the floor. 

[tower912]

I thought the Celtics ball movement was sublime.

Yes.  Very good job moving the rock after help came on the initial blow bys. 

[MuggsyB]

OMG did you see that??  Morant has tremendous bounce.

[MuggsyB]

Dude has a completely different gear.

Brooks just got kicked out.

Now that is what a flagrant 2 looks like. Honestly, that was just an absurdly dirty play. In my opinion worse than Grayson Allen's foul on Caruso that bought him a suspension.

Brooks should get a suspension for that one. No attempt to even make a play on the ball.

Let's pump the brakes.

That did seem pretty blatant. 

[MuggsyB]

Danger time for Memphis.  The Dubs literally can't make an open three but it's a 4pt game.

Brooks shouldn't get suspended. And he won't. But that was clearly worse than Allen's foul on Caruso.

I can agree with this. I didn't think Allen should have been suspended.

How often will golden state be 5-31 from 3 with as many open looks as they've had.

Klay 2-10
Steph 1-7

They were off last game too.

It's crazy.  Cause these have been wide open looks.  Somehow they're up by 3 on the road.

Steph's 2nd 3 to drop and he banked it in.

They really should be down double digits, not up 3.

[MuggsyB]

This is a one man show for Memphis.

[MuggsyB]

Was that goaltending?

Was that goaltending?

It was really close. A 50/50 call.

But with ~40 s left, the ref can't call that touch foul on Green when two guys are scrambling for the ball.

Agreed.  You also have to wonder why Kerr has just allowed Morant to go one on one the last 5 possessions or so?  Don't you get the ball out of his hands when no one else has done didly squat?  Thompson with a brutal game.

[PGsHeroes32]

That touch foul on Draymond was horrendous. And it seemed like Memphis got an O rebound on that possesion for a much bigger push off.

Grizz have gotten A LOT of big calls to go their way this post season.


And fortunate that Klay Thompson seemingly forgot how to play basketball.

Morant has just been nothing but special. Amazing touch at the rim.

But, he hits the defender in the chest hard on every drive with his off hand. You wonder if he keeps being as successful if they change the way they call that in the future.
