Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 3891060, member: 1674"] Bucks were trying to switch everything defensively at the end and can’t do that with Brook/Portis. The media is going to focus on the floaters against the drop coverage, and how Atlanta ran it over and over again, but the Bucks defense held them to average efficiency because those floaters aren’t actually very efficient. The issue, as it’s been pretty much the entire postseason, is that the Bucks have gone from a 40% 3 point shooting team on open shots to making roughly 20% of those in the playoffs and that’s going to make it very difficult to win. They found a way against Brooklyn (and finally shot it well in Game 7). We’ll see if they can overcome the shooting yips against Atlanta, but that’s a far bigger issue than the defense which was actually fine tonight. [/QUOTE]
