Clutchfans Game Thread: Bucks @ Rockets 8/2/2020

god damn this video has 5 million views. How many nba teams and coaches you think watched that video

a video on how to stop an nba player has 5 million views that’s crazy too me.

 

This was interesting.

Capela was in every one of those defensive possessions and destroying spacing for Harden.

This is where small ball will get interesting if it's a failed or successful experiment, there will be better spacing and we will have open three-point looks if they keep this style defense.

I'm not convinced of small ball yet, because I really dislike getting crushed on rebounds and defensive issues when shots aren't falling.

But if we can make it work this game that is a good start for how playoff teams will use successful defensive blueprints against us in the postseason.

 

82-pt masterpiece by Harden

 

Harden needs to whisper this in Giannis ear.

 

Would like to see this on Giannis first.



Play Luc.

 

Bring that fire vs. Bucks Russ!

 

we are currently at 6th seed. i like it.
we would face Denver in round 1. we always have their number.

 

I would try to avoid OKC first round, I feel like we'd get blown out. I would rather play Clippers than OKC

 

Small ball lineups are the best at taking charges, and taking charges is the obvious answer to a player the barrels down the lane completely out of control 20 times a game. In a fair game, Giannis would foul out before the half.

The problem is, the games aren’t fair, so you need people that can play him even when taking a charge isn’t an option. That’s why tall teams are successful in the current ref environment vs Giannis.

 

I don’t know why but I thought the tv said we played the blazers tonight. But damn this is a huge game potential finals dare I say.

 

I feel like James raping Bledsoe tonight... he was injuried last time and had a bad game and press after it like Bucks are Harden stoppers

 

zach zarba, of 'klay thompson is okay to undercut harden 7 times in a half' fame

Milwaukee @ Houston Zach Zarba (#15) Tony Brown (#6) Aaron Smith (#51)

 

I think Bledsoe and Connaughton are out. I was hoping to face a fully loaded Bucks just to see where we stand.

 

Horrible take. Like, no one on this forum would rather see the Clippers than the Thunder but you.

For seeding purposes, I didn’t know who to root for in that recent OKC Utah game. All I knew was, we should try to play one of those teams in round 1.

 

Bledsoe had Covid later than WB, he probably will rest and practice till they are close to the playoffs.
