That’s a good gameplan versus the Bucks. Hit three’s and play good defense.
The Bucks have one of the best defenses in the NBA, but they’re not great guarding the arc. We’ve got to attack where they are weak.
And we’re not going to shut down Giannis, but the goal should be to slow him down some. My hope is that Coach Brad will try Robert Williams on him to see what Rob-Lob can do.

I'm curious to see if Semi can do anywhere near the job on Giannis he did a year ago, or whether Giannis has just improved too much since then.

I’m hoping that was the reason Brad limited Semi’s playing time during the regular season. He’s our best hope of slowing the Greek down.
I actually want to see what Robert Williams can do against Giannis.

I am not expecting anything from RW3. Semi, for what is worth, he plays great D though good scorers will score regardless of D.

I am not expecting anything from RW3. Semi, for what is worth, he plays great D though good scorers will score regardless of D. That is especially true in today's NBA where defense has been outlawed for the most part. It allows small guys like Curry to be an all time great because you can't touch him and if you do he is on the line for three free throws. When just ten years ago he would have to be a 6th man at best because of how small and fragile he is with two bad ankles and zero defensive ability other than jumping a passing lane every now and then. Semi is in the wrong era for what his talent looks like his max is when it comes to overall value. |

I don't mind the "don't touch" reffing (after all, basketball is supposed to be a non-contact sport) as much as the refs allowing 3 and sometimes 4 steps on drives to the hoop. I swear Giannis took 5 steps on one play today and it wasn't called. Someday Giannis will get the ball at the arc, take 3 steps and dunk without ever putting the ball on the ground. I also wish they'd change the rules on shooters getting to the line when THEY create contact. That should be a no-call, or an offensive foul. The league should look hard this off-season at giving the D a chance.

The league should look hard this off-season at giving the D a chance. The "euro step" is out of control now. Game #1, I noticed even Kyrie takes 3 steps around the hoop. When referees call the travel, it seems like it is circa a start from the 3-point line. |

The refs also need to stop giving guys like Harden the call when he kicks out his legs while shooting 3's. Instead of going to the line for 3 FTs he should get an offensive foul called on him. People are afraid to go anywhere near him while he's shooting, which makes it even easier for him to get off his shot. It's a joke.
