We go from here open up my my app first thing I see is that you and Frank tweeted at almost the exact same time about the crazy run that the Warriors went on to close the game and honestly I think that’s really like the story of

The game the Bucs really only played a good seven seven and a half minutes throughout this game bucks entered halftime down 20 and the Bucs were able to cut the Warriors lead down to six in the third quarter with about five and a

Half minutes to go it was a 12 or a 195 Bucks Run at that time and the Warriors respond with a 42- 13 run to close the game and like you said you and Frank both mentioned it it’s really hard to win a game when the other team goes on a 42-13

Run I mean it’s it’s really hard to win a game when the other team goes on multiple runs but like sustained runs that was the big one because of um where you are at in the stage of the game but even before that when think about um

Where this game was early in the first quarter I was impressed I’m I’m sure we’ll get to it and you were too with the way the Bucks started offensively but at the same time you did kind of feel like boy I don’t know about this I I don’t think this is sustainable

Because Doc Rivers himself has has made the mention that we’re not an uptempo team and uh he had been asked about the pace taking a step back since he had taken over and basically had said you know I’m not too concerned about Pace I I more I’m looking at ball movement and

The types of possessions we’re getting and add of the caveat too of you know plus Damen Lillard doesn’t really like to play Up Tempo he picks his spots so we’re going to be a slower team the pace that the Bucks were playing at to start

The game you were like okay we we got an offensive game here and it it seems like they’re finding some transition opportunities but then you also realize this is going to open the door for a lot of back and forth play and that suits the Golden State Warriors much better

Than it does the Bucks it was at about the midpoint of the first quarter that the Warriors are late I think it was with five or so minutes left that they started to push that lead open but the final few minutes of the first quarter it went from what like a four or

Fivepoint game to a double digit Warriors lead and then early in the second quarter that thing really opened up and before you knew it it was 20 so that was a pretty big run it was pretty similar to what we saw to close the game but I think you still came away saying

They did not play good the Bucks did not play very good defensively in the first half transition was a major issue they just didn’t look connected either with some of the switches and everything else they were doing they looked much closer to the team we had seen up until January

23rd than they did what we had seen um since so the way they started the third quarter very encouraging we thought okay this is this is looking more and more like the group that we we been seeing here for the last couple of weeks and what was most impressive in all of that

To me was that that was like five minutes that they took to get that thing from 20 down to six but then it’s almost like the old adage when you’re climbing up the hill and you can’t rest right you got to keep going the whole way up and

The Bucks did kind of rest and then just slid back down the hill yeah absolutely I felt at multiple times throughout this game I would just keep saying hey bucks cut this lead down a single single digits like you’re going to be okay you cut it down the single digits is going

To be okay they would get it kind of close and then the Warriors would extend that lead so coming out in the third quarter it was like okay you’re down by 20 what can we really do here and at halftime I was looking at the numbers

And I was like bucks are getting killed fast break they’re getting killed points in the paint and those are two trends that just extended throughout the course of the game like the Warriors are an undersized team they’re not that big and for the Warriors to outscore the bucks

In the paint 5436 throughout the course of the game was an unexpected uh surprise to me I mean the warriors were just aggressive moving quickly and watching how they’re playing you’re okay they’re getting up their threes what you expect the Warriors are coming into this game after being embarrassed by the

Celtics losing by over what 50 52 points so you knew they were going to come in the game and play with an increased intensity level especially given the fact that Steph Curry did not play well in that game against the Celtics either but in this game with the Bucks and the

Warriors both teams take 32 threes and you’re like or 39 threes and you’re like okay Warriors made eight more threes than the Bucks I mean the warriors were shooting really well especially in the first half it cooled off in the third quarter when the Bucks were getting on

Their run and somewhat into the fourth as well um but even with the Warriors making eight more threes than what the bucks made if the Bucks would have made the same amount they still would have lost by 11 points because the points in the paint battle like the Bucks just

Lost that thoroughly as well throughout this game and it’s not the way we’ve seen this team look so far coming back from the break like we’ve talked about how the transition defense has looked improved for the bucks fast break defense like it it’s been so much better

So far even points in the paint like the Bucks were number one in the league only allowing like a little over 40 points in the paint since the All-Star break and for the Warriors to come out and score 54 of them like I didn’t expect

That yeah and uh they’re in the bottom I think five the Warriors are somewhere around that area in terms of their averages per game um less than 50 I think it was around 48 that they averaged coming into the uh the game last night which you know it wasn’t a

Massive out performance but it was an area that you looked at and said we should be able to hold the Warriors to their season average and and arguably lower as well with with Giannis and Brook Lopez protecting the paint and the way that the Bucs have been playing

Defensively um I know I had mentioned prior to this 4 game Road Trip that I thought all these teams were pretty good matchups for the bucks and we have seen the Bucks play very good against the Warriors in recent years but I do think what I’m not gonna say we because I made

The statement but what is easy to lose sight of is yeah you know I know Steph Curry has had some big games in that stretch but the Bucs also had this guy named Drew holiday that was playing on the perimeter that helped you slow down a very perimeter base based offense of

The Warriors and that to me is what stood out the most is look if if you play this team multiple times over a couple of days in a series but if you saw them more frequently I think the Bucks would be much better prepared with this unit it was just that change in

What Drew holiday takes away because there was a lot of open shots for the Warriors that’s nothing new with their ball movement and they finished the game last night with 37 assists on 51 field goals which is just an insane assist rate what basically 75% um but that’s their game right

There’s a lot of ball movement and I I think you did see quite a bit especially in the first half moments of frustration from Brook Lopez where we mentioned they weren’t quite as connected and it looked like Brooke was calling out a couple of times where’s the help on this that I’m

Having to step up here and move further away from the rim and that’s just not a great matchup when you have Steph Curry taking Brook Lopez off the dribble or whoever it was Brandon psky so I think that was one of the bigger things is you

Know this has been a much better team defense but you still need some individual Wing Defenders and you had a pretty good one in the last few matchups at least the last few years against the Warriors he was gone this year and I think that that absence is very notable

Yeah absolutely in this and the defense is easy to point as we mentioned we’ve talked about it like the bugs defense has been so much more improved so when you see that they give up 125 points it’s just kind of like okay what really happened here and Doc Rivers postgame

His comments were really interesting because he was like I don’t even really think the defense was the biggest problem with the Bucks tonight and he was I know that’s going to sound weird but I don’t think that was the biggest problems when we come back from the

Break I want to dive into some of the things that Doc Rivers mentioned postgame about why he feels the Bucks were able lost the rope in this game and weren’t able uh to come out with the victory so we’ll get to that right after this

Really interesting to me quote this is going to sound like a little shock to you but I really didn’t think this was our defense I thought it was our offense I didn’t think we played solid offense all night they have 21 points off of our turnovers they had 15 block shots so

They were in transition or in offense the whole game due to our bad offense tonight this is the first night in a long time where we just didn’t play together didn’t move the ball we forced action so I thought it was more of that we had a lot of defensive breakdowns for

Sure but a lot of them were in transition where we weren’t matched up because our floor balance was so bad tonight we took so many bad shots we had too many bad possessions that when we got back we were never matched up and they took advantage of it end quote with

Doc pointing to the offense as the main reason for the loss in this game how did you feel about his message I 100% agreed um I was actually glad to hear that from Doc and I I talked about it um on the radio post game as well that you know even

Everything we just went through in the previous segment of they weren’t very connected defensively um The Warriors you know their ball movement is is tough to defend overall it’s why it’s important to stay connected um but with all of that being mentioned to me it felt like

The offense that lost to the game and again um look there’s nothing we can do about it but the absence of Chris Middleton to me really stood out in this game when you look at the halfcourt offense the Bucks finished in the first percentile in their offensive efficiency

In that game I think they’re in the fifth percentile in their effective field goal percentage as well so it was not great and a lot of that started in the half court where you know it it also you know it seemed like Giannis it was

Great to have him on the floor but it didn’t really feel like despite the way he started when it seemed like he was going to be a oneman wrecking crew something seemed a little I hesitate to say off but I think Giannis was not 100% he just looked a bit different last

Night yeah not quite that extra gear that he typically has and you thought maybe you’d get the Boost from Damen Lillard but that was you know one of those games where you kind of needed Damen Lillard to take over I mentioned too you know we we so often get wrapped

Up in oh Steph Curry versus Giannis but it’s not quite the Spider-Man meme but Steph Curry and Dame Lillard in the similarities that they have it was okay we get a chance to see Steph versus Dame Steph and Draymond did not play in that first match up between these two teams

And this was the first time in three years basically that Steph and Dame played in the same game in the regular season but you you didn’t get quite enough there and I think it really boils down to a couple of pieces uh number one that stood out statistically Malik

Beasley’s in a pretty bad Funk right now shooting the basketball um another rough night for Malik o of six on threes I was a little surprised that doc waited as long as he did to bring in AJ Green when nobody else kind of had their shot

Working and we saw AJ play all of the fourth quarter against the Clippers um but uh AJ Green finished the game with some struggles shooting the basketball as well so between he and Malik Beasley you got all of 11 on your threes you really needed at least one of those guys

To start to pop off and you didn’t get it but to me the big part and I I think this is a lot of what Doc Rivers was getting to you were doing everything right and and your defense was starting to create more opportunities for your

Offense that sparked that big run to uh to start the third quarter when you got that margin from 20 all the way down to uh to six but as soon as that happened that’s what we started to see from the the offense that you your defense lost

Some of its connection you gave up that wide open look to trace Jackson Davis under the basket it’s back up to eight Bobby poris then had a pretty rough stretch of play when when you really needed him and that’s the other thing that kind of went unnoticed is Bobby

Poris maybe kept you in the game as much as we can say that for being down by 20 but just imagine where they would have been without him and he was basically absent in the second half and that stretch once you knock the down to six is where his absence really stood out

Because I think it was two or three turnovers immediately after that from Bobby alone missed shots as well and that just sparked the Warriors so you were doing everything right and then your offense wasn’t reciprocating and wasn’t putting your defense in a good spot yeah Bobby Porter had a really big

First half I literally said at one point like he’s helping keep the Bucks in this game right now he had 18 points in the first half and he got those in like 10 minutes and but he finished the game with 20 points so he only scored two

Additional points in the second half uh he didn’t take that many shots he only took four shot attempts in the second half but you mentioned the turnovers in addition to that he got into that little I want to call it even a scuffle just a little tie up with Draymond got his

Fifth foul and at that point like it’s like you’re you’re feeling things slip from the bucks at that point in the game and I’m also glad you brought up Giannis because I mean we talked about it we saw how he looked in the pregame warm-ups against the Clippers where clearly that

Achilles was giving him some some trouble uh and you see him in this game super happy to see him playing started the game off well but it just looked like he didn’t have the same amount of lift and I saw that in particular when you’re seeing him getting defended by uh

Uh Tracy and it’s like okay Giannis is getting blocked twice in the same possession back to back you don’t see that often like I believe all of Tracy Jackson Davis’s block were against Yannis he joins that exclusive club that I think is just he and Jonathan Isaac

Now of players to have blocked Giannis three times in a game see like it it was one of those games for him but it just didn’t like it just happy he was out there it just didn’t seem like he had the same lip and of course when you ask

Giannis about it he’s like I’m perfectly fine on Wednesday I wasn’t or on Monday I wasn’t 100% but I felt good to go so I went that’s not an excuse even doc mentioned that himself like yeah we know he was Bang up but when you’re in the

Game you’re in the game and that’s what’s matters at this point but one thing I love that doc said just his bluntness they ask like what’s your message to your team after a performance like this and he’s like play right like just play right like you play the game

The right way and you saw it in the third quarter the seven minutes when they were playing right when the ball was moving like we scored every time uh so that’s something that you have to look at and I also love that doc mentioned the fact like this isn’t a

Game you just flush like there are some games when you you lose you’re just like you know what we flush this we get back to it it’s a long season he said not this one this one was a teaching game and like again yes there were mistakes

On defense but focus on what you did wrong offensively because that’s what helped put your defense in a bad position to begin with so I love I just enjoyed Doc’s postgame presser after this one where he’s like you could tell he was frustrated and he’s just like

Gotta be better you have to play better and I love that directness and just saying like hey be accountable we have to be better and to point about the shooting with Malik Beasley he shot pretty well in February as a whole he was like 46.5% from three and he was scorching

Hot coming out of All-Star break which I highlighted like to fend the last four games in February he was shooting over 50% from three calendar turns it’s like the eyes of March and March has just not been kind to be so far two of 20 from

Three 10% from three in the month of March and Jay Crowder as well like we’ve talked about the like the defensive effort from Jay has been outstanding even Beast although he wasn’t shooting well I felt like he had a good energy defensively especially in that third quarter run the second half but looking

At Jay Crowder’s three-point shooting as well because he was shooting a little over 50% before he got injured on 3.4 attempts it was only nine games before he got hurt he’s come back from the injury in mid January he’s played 23 games now post injury he’s 28.2% from three since he’s returned and

That’s on the same number of attempts like Jay Crowder has had nine games so far during this return stretch over those 23 games where he hasn’t made any of his three-point attempts uh so I appreciate the defensive effort but I also hope to see that the the three ball

Starts falling a bit for Jay again not saying I think he’s going to shoot 50% that’s unrealistic but if we can get Jay back up to upper 30s lower 40s from three that’s going to be able to help out the team a lot given what he’s able to bring defensively to the

Team yeah and you know I I hate to to be a broken record but it it really is you just need Chris Middleton you know when when you talk about the the issues that you had in the half court offensively and you know to me again it was those

The bench minutes it’s not the Warriors game specifically but it’s what we’ve seen overall it’s been better of late but a lot of that bench drop off was the absence of Chris Middleton this wasn’t a bench that was going to be designed to outscore the opposing second unit it’s

It’s been the same model we’ve seen for basically six years now for the bucks starters are very good we need a bench that’s going to play defense and preserve the lead but Chris Middleton I I keep mentioning his impact on the bench because a lot of those minutes he

Was the guy Bridging the Gap from the starters to the bench and you would see a lot of Chris with the bench units um you know a lot of that was when you had campaign as your backup point guard and there was some defensive issues there and Chris was basically your DEA facto

Backup point guard but he was the guy that was getting the second unit organized basically running the offense and oh by the way scoring and once you started to lose that and once it was gone consistently the bench has never really recovered or been the same in

Terms of their offensive output so you need Chris Middleton back for that reason as we mentioned a number of times you need him back just to to weave him in with Yiannis and Dame and these different wrinkles that you’re seeing from this group and that’s going to help

The J Crowder piece too because it’s going to limit the spots where you’re using J Crowder and again you know look we know depending on the matchups that you have on the floor Jak Crowder is most likely to be the guy that the defense in the postseason is going to

Say fine we’ll let him shoot it but it’s different if Malik Beasley’s hitting shots if you have Chris Middleton on the floor if Damen Lillard is out there and Jak Crow is that fifth guy that it’s you know what we’ll let him take the shots that’s a whole lot different than if

This team isn’t hitting shots and if Chris Middleton isn’t out there and you have to put other players out there where you need more from Jay Crowder so I I do think that’s a big piece of it um as well for this group but the one piece

Of encouraging news I I think not to to be all negative here is well I suppose number one that it’s nothing knock on wood serious fannis that we even questioned I don’t know how many games you’ll see him on this road trip he plays game number one now that doesn’t

Mean he’s going to play in all four but that’s at least a good start the other piece of it for as as much as we mentioned the bad with the score and Malik Beasley shooting of late Damen Lillard you know when you look at Dame coming out of the All-Star Break um we

Had kind of mentioned and hoped I suppose is the right word that winning the All-Star MVP and winning the Three-Point Shootout once again that these were things that were going to get Damen Lillard going in the second half and I think so far that’s what you’ve

Seen when you look at um what he’s been doing with efficiency he’s shooting 42% on threes coming out of the All-Star Break um in a stretch of seven games now for Damen Lillard so that’s something to at least make note of and his point production still right in line with

Where it’s been but you’ve seen that one big game when you really needed it from the Clippers and I think overall you’ve just seen much better play from Dame again it’s not to say he was bad before but he’s been more efficient offensively and the same point you made about Malik

Beasley and his defense which should not get lost of despite the struggles Malik is still bringing it defensively and and putting that effort out there um Damen Lillard has looked much different defensively in the second half as well so that to me is at least the positive

To pull from this but I I agree with what you had said and what Doc Rivers had said too is this game is is actually a pretty good game in terms of the film session because there’s the yin and the Yang where doc can easily point to look

At these five and a half minutes in the third quarter this is where we did everything we should be doing and you know we outscored them what I think it was 19 to5 to start the third quarter everywhere else and even the starts of the game to a lesser extent I’m sure he

Would say look we we got to be more controlled those first few minutes despite the fact that we were putting the first few points on the board um those stretches you would point to and say look here’s what we were looking for we did it look at the results everything

Else we did not do it and you saw what happened yeah absolutely absolutely I love the little positivity sprinkled in there because I do think there is like I don’t think that this loss should just erase everything we’ve seen from this team coming out of the break uh and

They’re going to have a chance to rebound on Friday against a Lakers team that’s also going to be looking for a rebound as well so this West Coast Road Trip does continue so we’ll take a look at that and what’s next for the bucks after this personally I can have a bad habit

Of procrastinating and that also comes into play when it comes to events that I do want to attend I’m like oh this sounds really cool and I might forget about it and then it’s like oh wait this is still happening got to try to find tickets that’s why I’m thankful for Game

Mentioned the Lakers also lost last night they lost by 10 to the Sacramento Kings in a game that was really big for the standings in the Western Conference so I mean we saw the Warriors bounc back after losing big to Boston on Sunday and I’m hoping now we get to see the Bucks

Bounce back on Friday against the Lakers and given everything that doc mentioned that we’ve covered already throughout this episode about the areas where the Bucks went wrong and even the players knew Brook Lopez mentioned like yeah the ball wasn’t moving it was sticking a bit at times and you could see that so

Hopefully in this game against the Lakers the Bucks can bounce back and I feel like the Bucks do tend to you know after embarrassing losses for the most part or games where they feel like they could have been better they generally do try to come back and correct themselves

So hopefully they play better I feel like Giannis when it’s a LeBron James matchup he gets up for that we’ll see if LeBron plays I know he had the ankle giving him some problems in that King game as well but this Lakers game another big game for the bucks

Here yeah it is another big game for the bucks um I assume LeBron will play just because of the the matchup of LeBron versus Giannis and I know this isn’t like Revenge per se but Doc Rivers even made the point I think it was after the home win against the Nuggets that you

Know we we still we’re pretty good in Revenge games when we need to bounce back and we need to prove something this team has come together and done that and I I think this is one of those spots where you had the six game win streak you knew it wasn’t going to last

Forever Pat be joked we’re gonna go to 10 you didn’t quite get there um but look you still have a chance at a really good road trip here um I think we talked about this before the trip began and said it’s It’s just tough to put a number out there of what your

Expectations are until we know the health status of Giannis and Chris Middleton we think we know the status of Giannis we’re still waiting on Chris um but you’ve got to go at least two and two in this this road trip here and look at I I still stand by these remaining

Three teams are still good matchups for the bucks I think the Lakers are a very good matchup for the bucks because you do have some size to combat what the Lakers are going to throw out there you got Giannis and Damen Lillard to go toe-to-toe you think with uh with LeBron

And Anthony Davis assuming all of those players play but this is not a Lakers team that is going to tear it up on the perimeter so you’re you’re going to get a little bit of help there with your perimeter defense and then again you’re going to catch the clippers for the

Second consecutive time on day two of a back-to-back so we’ll see where that goes uh the Bucks and Clippers have both been very good on night two of a back-to-back but all the little things they count and they help so you still have a chance to to win these final

Three games and have a really good road trip if this was the one blemish and you learned from it and corrected some of those things and especially if you can get Chris Middleton back on the floor in the uh the near future here um but in

The meantime you know I I know I’ve I wouldn’t say come under Fire but I I’ve heard from some Bucks fans and some of the everyday listeners who were quick to point out look you said you thought the Bucks were going to finish third and yet

Here they are at second in the Eastern Conference they’re getting a lot of help right now with the Cavaliers not only losses they lost again last night so you get the help there but the injuries that the Cavaliers are starting to face now Donovan Mitchell we know is going to be

Out against the Timberwolves on Friday night I would assume he’s going to be out a little bit longer than that if it’s a PRP injection they just lost Evan Moy in that win against the Celtics and it sounds like that’s going to be like what we’re seeing with Chris Middleton

They said weeks and it’s going to take time for Evan Moy so those are two big absences that the door is now wide open and I kept pointing to divisional record is going to be the most important thing here and that was why I did not think

The Bucks would hold off the Cavaliers for the two spot I thought at some point they’d catch them and they have but Cleveland would eventually move past them because of the schedule difference because of the fact that you needed the Cavs to go one and three in their final

Four divisional games in order to get that tiebreaker they’ve gone one and one since and they got two games left against the Pacers and there’s a pretty good chance those games are going to be at least without Evan Mobley maybe without dvan Mitchell at least one of

Them as well so you’re starting to get that help now now you just got to start to piece together some of these things that we’ve mentioned continuing to improve the offense and just keep playing better because that’s that’s the biggest takeaway I’ve had is is what Doc Rivers has continued to preach and

Really drive home to this team is look I’m not going to Discount these wins it’s nice that we’re winning while we’re learning these things and improving but it doesn’t mean that everything is fixed it’s still a work in ress we’re still getting better I see the signs I like

Where we’re headed but don’t look at these results in that six-game win streak and the way that we played out of the All-Star break and and really the defense since Doc Rivers arrived don’t look at all that and say okay it’s fixed our work here is done there’s still a

Lot of work to do and I think hearing that over and over but knowing doc the way that we’ve gotten to know doc hearing the wise and what specifically it is that we need to improve is the big thing for this team yeah and we’re going to see him get a

Chance to to bounce back from that you mentioned the fact the Cavaliers are facing some injuries right now and they play Minnesota next and we just saw this morning that Minnesota is now gonna be without Kony towns for an indefinite amount of time with the miniscus injury

So you’re just like this is the Time of the Season where you’re hoping for health which is again why I have had no problem with the buck Slow Rolling Chris Middleton back into the lineup and I have the understanding as well that when he does reinsert himself back into the

Lineup it’s not going to be at 30 minutes a game immediately which we saw him working his way up to at the time of his injury it’s going to be another slow roll into it watching his minutes a bit and Doc mentioned that’s not even just

Because of the ankle or the knee it’s more so for his conditioning and getting back in the game shape like at this point in the season you’re not really you’re not having live practices so we’re really getting just 2v2 working 3b3 work in 1B one work uh and he’s been

Doing that but we GNA have to ease him back into it and health is such an important part of winning a championship you of course have to be playing well but you need that Health luck as well you want to be healthy rolling into this time of the season so I understand that

With with uh Chris and the hope is that Giannis after playing last night of course didn’t have any additional setbacks and he’s able to continue to go but we’re going to see it’s a big matchup on Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers Prime Time television
