The edge the Bucks have is their length, and by lining that team up you're immediately giving up your edge at SG, SF, PF AND center. That lineup would be horrific on defense. Even without Parker in there messing it up the Bucks defense has been pretty horrible for most of the season. No it wouldn't ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGreen Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I really don’t want Giannis banging with 5s on defense. He’s fine for situational stuff at C, but he should be guarding 4s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without Parker in there messing it up the Bucks defense has been pretty horrible for most of the season. The Bucks defense being bad has about 95% to do with blitzing PnRs. There's no good defensive lineup with that strategy, period. The truth is is no team is going to go traditional if the Bucks go this small, because the Bucks will absolutely annihilate teams on the offensive end. Teams won't play traditional bangers in the frontcourt if they have to chase Middleton around screens and try and stop Giannis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and I agree with that, but I’ve seen people advocating for it full time (in debates for/against the Jordan trade) in response to today’s NBA. Just kind of a side note more than a main point in all of this. also, smart is the last thing this team needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 So tired of making this scrub *** Mavs team look like the Warriors because our HC is too stubborn to admit his ****ty defensive system doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Thon has no business being in the NBA We literally have 3 straight worthless 1st round picks. Edited December 9, 2017 by bkobow05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yes, let's have 5 people collapse to the paint and leave the guy shooting 80% today open. This staff is just brilliant. I'm 100% convinced we win games in spite of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 If Khash doesn't go superhuman this quarter (seriously, has he missed?), we probably lose. These offensive sets are just bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 I'll take the win. Such a frustrating game tho. 10-4 since acquiring Bledsoe and I'm fairly certain our starting 5 numbers are going to go up. Believe our net rating since acquiring EB is +17 in that regard.

beekay414 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Giannis is having a historically great age 23 season so far. Stacks up to both MJ and LeBron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
