It is SO like this clown to chalk everything up to “intensity and heart and toughness”
Mortherfucker, no, your counter to losing Allen for the night was to go 3 on 5 offensively and 4 5 defensively. You could hop the entire lineup up on crystal Fucking meth and all the intensity in the world is not going to be able to change the Bucks, an ELITE practiced defensive juggernaut being able to juice up the pressure against a Lopez and Okoro lineup on one end, and then run it down your throat on the other.
They would run Giannis at the high screen and roll, Robin would drop because he can’t do shit else, Giannis would swing the ball immediately back to holiday, who would fly around Brook Lopez who would lay Okoro out, and then have a 2 on one, Jrue or whoever the weak side handling option thst flew up over the Brook screen was and Giannis in the short roll versus a flat footed Robin Lopez in the paint. Guess what? Robin steps up? Fucking dunk. Robin doesn’t? Wide open mid ranger. Anyone helps on the guard, Weakside help ..I.E Mobley…ball goes to Giannis who gets the shoulder past and ends it at the rim or on a short kick to Portis or strong side shifts and it’s a quick bloop pass to the wing, who will tap or touch pass it to the corner. Goodnight San Francisco.
It just amazes me how a ball handler can wave a red sheet around and coax Okoro like a bull into getting absolutely fucking laid out by a step up screen from the FT line to the top of the key. Either he doesn’t watch film, can’t comprehend it, or something…because whether it’s Klay Thompson or Brook Lopez stepping up to the spot, he’s literally barreling into them time after time.
