The Bucks have finally figured it out. They found the winning formula, the unstoppable play, and Dame casually exposed their secret.
I cannot believe that it took this long and this type of act by Doc for Giannis and Dame to figure out that hey, nobody can stop us in the pick and roll, maybe we should play it more. The most basic play in the book.
Do you see how easy this was? You have one of the quickest guys in the league with the ball, who btw happens to fire away and hit it from everywhere on the court, and the most unstoppable force in basketball on the roll. What in the world took them so long?! Granted last night they played against the Clippers who were without Kawhi, PG and Westbrook, but this is replicable every single time against anyone.
For the better part of the season, Antetokounmpo and Lillard executed this action around 11 times per game.
Imagine that, you have an unstoppable play, a cheat code, and you run it on 10 out of 100 possessions per game.
That’s like having Shaq in the paint during his prime when he was unguardable and you let him touch the ball just 10 times per game. That’s insane.
And while they ran it more last night, it’s still a long way from where it needs to be.
What I loved however was this play.
This was an inverted pick and roll with Dame catching everyone by surprise as he doesn’t curl for the handoff, but instead sets a screen for Giannis clearing the lane for the takeoff. Now that’s truly unstoppable.
However, here’s something that I didn’t like.
Too many times after the screen Dame resorts to just jacking up a three pointer. And he hit a bunch of those against the Clippers, but you can see some of these are on the run, some are heavily contested, he’s not in a great position really, but they went in, he won them the game so everything looks good on the surface.
But if you settle for these shots in the playoffs, and hope they go in against a tight defense, you’re setting yourself for a disaster.
Lillard needs to attack inside way more to put the pressure and provide not just for himself and Antetokoumpo but also open up easy shots for his teammates.
Did you see any kickouts to the role players off of this action? Of course not, and that’s a big problem.
At times it looks like things are starting to click for the Bucks, but they still have a lot to figure out.
Speaking of that, this is the guy who’s got to figure out how to get back to that championship season with Golden State when he was a really nice player because right now, what he’s doing is a circus show.
Poole has been one of the most disappointing players in the league this season, and I expose all the other ones in this group so you gotta check out this video right here. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
