I don't see how not defending the 3 at all is a winnable scheme at this level.

 

I feel like you mention this every time a team shoots over 40% for a game against the Bucks, and yeah, it's frustrating to watch. But the BUcks went 60-22, have the best defensive rating in the league, went 9-4 against the top 4 teams in the East, swept Houston in two games, went 1-1 vs Golden State, swept Denver....

 

What they're doing wins games. They win the majority of the time against the best teams.

 

Yes, there are nights when a team gets hot from 3 and they get burned. Over 82 games (or even 7 games) is that sustainable? I'm gonna say "probably not".

Agree. Toronto is doing a much better job getting their secondary help on our shooters than we are. Secondary help needs to get to the shooters in the corners once that ball starts heading to the paint. Too much ball watching.

I mention it every time because it's frustrating as hell. I just want them to defend it. Even if it means a few more points given up in the paint, just defend it half-assed, half the time, is all I'm asking.

They take away easy shots and force teams to out-3 them. That means leaving some easy three attempts. Teams can't do it about 80% of the time. If you were watching them give away the paint half the game like they have in the past, that would be a lot more annoying.

My God, Lopez is just brutal.

 

Yeah, he needs to stop with that deep 28 footer early in the shot clock. It looked great in the regular season when he was drilling them but that stroke has been hideous in the playoffs.
