As in, losing key games?
what do you mean?
@@Xtrachriispy choking key games
Got them ready to blow a 3-1 lead to the hawks, then try to get Trey Young in the off season 💀
Bucks winning the championship this year. Keep the same energy soon, you won’t
after re watching this. it's crazy how Middleton was getting cooked by Austin + missing key shots on the other end of the floor
Khris needs to be way better for them to have a change in my opinion.
@@ThinkingBasketballnot your opinion. It’s facts. How else did bucks win their last ring? 😊
@@ThinkingBasketballthis is his first bad game since coming back. He’s been super good other than this game imo
How it is crazy? He never looked like the ring run after his first injury vs Bulls
agreed! Also im not sure how middleton has been playing post all star break this was just one game vs us! (Lakers fan here)@@ThinkingBasketball
Reaves couldn’t get a closer shot because Brook Lopez was denying that pass
And if Reaves stopped at the 3pt line for the pass Giannis would've been in range to close out.
Precisely. Spencer had nowhere near enough space to throw that pass within the arc. We saw how close Austin was to making it though lol
Plus Giannis could have blocked him. look at giannis sprinting.
I came here to say exactly that. Dinwiddie was leaning to even see around him. Lopez is huge .
@grapplerke: Not supplying a timestamp is unhelpful, but assuming you are talking about 12:18 Reaves would have no difficulty whatsoever getting his shot off from the elbow and it would have been a much higher percentage one than the long three he eventually took. Thinking Basketball is absolutely right that this was a brain fart.
“This is a vintage Anthony Davis performance - He’s both injured and dominating.” 😂😂😂
never seen a coach coast on 1 title for this long

Lmao you think that only reason why? The nba is a billion dollar organization with a rich history. You think you could be a head coach is the league this long and it be a fluke? 😂. Doesn’t work that way.
Players and other nba personnel/higher ups speak highly about him as well. Guess that’s a fluke too huh?? lol 2024 is such a weird time to be alive
gotta upload more than once a week gangy i be needing these vids😭😭

Hopefully he does,, especially in the playoffs ❤❤
The podcast is good if you need more basketball analysis
Austin reaves is really really good I didn’t expect him to be this good when he first came in
He’s a little bit streaky but definitely a GREAT third option
@@xfanatick7972Exactly but he is really a great glue guy and he helps the ball move. At times he starts doing too much as well.
He's good FS the hype was warranted he's a solid player can shoot run pick and roll and is 6'6"
makes a ton of effort plays too which i love to see especially on defense
@@bilindabutcher89136'5 sadly
I love this channel. No talking about questionable calls or refs playing at part a all. Just pure basketball analysis and the host enjoying the plays as love of the game
If you're not talking about bad refereeing you're missing a lot of the game.
I hate it when a channel shows me what it tells me is a great play and it's obviously just a refereeing atrocity.
Well, Lakers did outplayed Bucks at the moments. But refs also helped them by calling fouls on Bucks and not calling on Lakers. 32 vs 17 FT attempts. Bucks defense got worse in the end, because they were afraid to make slightest contact with the Lakers players. It is just disgusting.
@@raimundasmYeah, but the Lakers tend to drive more. The Bucks settled for midranges and jumpers all game.
The Lakers tend to push offenses out beyond the arc, while favoring the drive on offense themselves. That's what tends to generate these foul disparities. Yeah, the refs make questionable calls, but the Lakers generate more opportunities to get fouls because of their drive tendencies.
@@raimundasm Or maybe the Lakers got more foul shots because the Bucks fouled more.
@@gandydancer9710 fax like the giannis turnover 1min into the video he calls it great defense by taurean but all i see is taureans arm wrapping giannis up lmao
The bucks looked really out of it this game, lots of times where help and rotations should have occurred yet nothing came.
A rarity for them!
@@ThinkingBasketballcan’t tell if sarcasm or not
@@Homer-OJ-Simpsonpretty sure it is
I know this is an AD video, but Austin Reaves man...
That guy is unbelievable.
I like AR too, coming into his own really nicely, not afraid of the big shot, makes good decisions consistently. But AD won the game for the lakers hitting clutch 3s out of nowhere when his team needed them, and his defense shutting down two of the top 10 players in the league when it mattered, one of them being Dame-Time, 4th quarter lillard.
"Vintage AD: Both injured and dominant" sums it up nicely, imo.
AD is already cemented as one of the best players in the league, and STILL finds ways to blow us away when it matters.
Sometimes i forget how good ad really is because his career has been riddled with injuries
Next game Sengun scores 87 on his head.
Hes so inconsistent. Hell, this is his best Lakers year BY FAR.
@@Edd-zd5wbHe's not inconsistent on defense
@@PsychicThursday thats true.
He also almost never leads a real elite defense and/or gets injured and misses too many games or/and there are just as good candidates.
@@Edd-zd5wbin both 2020 and 2021 the lakers were an elite defense anchored by AD. The games after the allstar break last season the lakers were an elite defense anchored by AD. As long as he has consistent defensive help your team is guaranteed a great defense
@@dododump3144 yes. And he either didnt play enough games to compete, or there were better cadidates. It happens
Look how much Giannis was able to close out on Reaves’ game winning field goal attempt at the end of regulation. If he was able to cover that much ground, I don’t think Austin would’ve been able to get off a closer shot. He’s the Greek freak for a reason, his arms are long as hell lol.
If you're talking about 12:18 stopping at the elbow was an easy shot for Reaves and GA was going to be nowhere near it. How long do you think it takes for Reaves to get off his shot?
@@gandydancer9710from the time the ball was inbounded to Austin getting off his shot, Giannis was able to make it from inside the paint all the way to outside the 3 point line to contest his shot.
You’re telling me that if Austin were to have stopped at the elbow, (which is closer to where Giannis is already located) he wouldn’t be able to contest. The elbow is arguably a longer pass to make from where the ball is being inbounded, which would’ve given Giannis even more time to close out.
@@Fitnesscharged23 Yes, I'm telling you that if Reaves had just stopped to receive the ball, turned, and shot GA couldn't have gotten close to him.
GA's running wasn't anyway being triggered by the pass being thrown, it was triggered by Reaves breaking to get open, so, no, a deeper pass would NOT have given GA more time to close out. Exactly the opposite is true.
The slowest part of the closeout was the initial bit, so Reaves wasn't increasing his separation by prolonging the chase.
Getting the pass around the guy defending the out of bounds is an issue, but Reaves didn't have to run as far as he did outside the 3-point line to get open for the pass. And it's up to the passer to time his pass so that Reaves doesn't have to wait for its arrival after he's ready for it. That's why you practice to get the ball thrown before he reaches where he will catch it.
Nobody is defining "the elbow" as requiring Reaves to have his toes in the paint. Getting the pass inside the 3-point line as far as Reaves ended up outside it would still be "at the elbow" so far as I am concerned and, as Thinking Basketball says, that is where he should have shot it.
@@gandydancer9710 It just doesn’t make any sense that you continue to say Giannis wouldn’t be any where close to Austin when if you pause the video at 12:13 you can see Giannis is only one foot below the free throw line. He’s 6’11. You can see Giannis has his eyes on reaves and the inbounder. If Austin were to have caught the ball at the 12:13 mark, Giannis would’ve seen the ball being inbounded and started heading towards Austin to close out. And as you can clearly see when you pause the video at 12:13, Giannis would not have to travel far to contest Austin’s shot. This is not a regular defender we are talking about. This is the former defensive player of the year whose nick name is literally Greek freak lmao.
@@Fitnesscharged23 As I already said, GA doesn't start moving because the ball is being inbounded, he moves because Reaves is getting open. And at 12:13 he is facing away from Reaves and not in motion at all. If Reaves had gotten the ball where I say he should have demanded getting it and where he should have gotten it his shot would not have been effectively contested. GA's DPOY and nickname don't change the physics of the situation -- he wouldn't have gotten there in time. Reaves running further out just gave GA more time at full speed to get to him... and he still didn't block the shot. Reread what I wrote. You are not taking it in.
Love the analysis, I just don’t agree with the take that Austin didn’t have to shoot from deep on the last possession of regulation. The pass wasn’t there anywhere else.
you should do some sort of analysis on three-point shooting in late game, high minute games like this. you mentioned “is it really a 40% corner shot at this point in the game?” and it’d interesting to test that.
Very real chance AD doesn’t finish with a dpoy by the end of his career :(
That's not gonna age well. Him and Draymond have been the best defenders of this era.
It’s “defensive player of the year”…not “of the era”
What year should he have gotten DPOY?😂
@@realmatic10 one of the years gobert got dpoy pick a year
@@realmatic10uhhh 2018? 2019?
@@akshyadulal1455 Draymond has been the best defender in the NBA for arguably 8 years and he's won one. Tim Duncan never won even one. It's definitely not impossible, especially when you look at how Wembanyama is playing in his first year.
Jrue holidays presence is clearly missing. If Jrue was in Dames position in some of these plays maybe they win the game.
Massive whiplash watching Jrue and then the Bucks guards back to back.
@@ThinkingBasketball Yeah how about that offense from Jrue in the playoffs, why don't you talk about that? Oh yeah you won't because your bias against the Bucks
? Do you watch the bucks? Did you know they just blew out healthy OKC FUCK NO CAUSE YOU HATE THEM AND DON"T WATCH THEM FUCK OUT OF HERE DAME HAS BEEN GOOD ON DEFENSE
@@RolininBucksbias? Are you 11 years old?! Dame and Beasley are awful defensively. They were getting exposed by DLO and Reaves
@@RolininBucks like jrue was known cause of his offense? they have many scorer that year, his role is to play-make and defend. And its up to giannis to carry his ass, unfortunately giannis choked, like he always does.
This game made me lost 20 years of my life 😂 As a Lakers fan, my heart was beating like never and it was so long, 2 damn overtime ! What a game ! Go Lakers !
Almost every Laker game is like that. I think they are contractually obligated to have a lot of close games, even when they have a big lead.
Yes, the refs kept you guys in the game 😭😭 the NBA doesn’t even hide its script anymore.
8:08 well AD really was hobbling on defence before this fastbreak so I could see why he took that three
12:50 great effort by Reaves oh my!
16:46 defensive boards are a big problem for Lakers. I was watching a Lakers Sixers game and LA was very underwhelming on defensive rebounds
As a Dubs fan, I’m the biggest Austin Reaves fan that there is. And watching the breakdown of the final moments of this game highlight everything great about HIM: Toughness, IQ, creativity, audaciousness and most importantly and why I believe he’s going to eventually pop and become a, Superstar… His WILL to Win! Magnificent. And if you don’t believe me, go ask our guy Steve Kerr what he thinks about HIM! ⭐️ 🤩
No one is perfect. So, isn't a contradiction to what you wrote. But, possibly his desire to be a star has him making bad plays. For example, that was a low IQ play Thinking Basketball called out at the end of regulation. Reaves had plenty of space to terminate his cut off the AD screen, set his feet, and pull up from inside of the arc or just behind the line. But, unfortunately, he went for the hero shot. That could have cost the Lakers, hopefully it won't.
@@AndrewRobyEngineerI get what you’re saying but, I think the inside the arc shot would have been an easier challenge by Giannis or somebody else for the Bucks as apposed to getting plenty of room to launch for the 3. Also, I disagree with the assessment that he wants to be a star. I actually think he needs to be encouraged to take even more command even if it takes away from the guys ahead of him in Bron and AD. The most recent game they had against the Denver Nuggets I got really frustrated because Austin only got 1 touch in the final 7 minutes of that game and both AD and Bron wilted down the stretch and kept on forcing the issue instead of going to HIM or elsewhere for production. So, respectfully, I think until he’s willing to take at least 15-20 shots a game, he’s going to continue to be a little underutilized on this team for what he’s really worth.
@@nicoalexander774 the problem imo is Austin, consistently, should only be taking 12 shots per game. The Lakers should be finding more shots for Rui and imo, if it's as you said, continue to Force feed AD.
Hey i love your stuff... You have some of the best understanding of the game that i have ever seen... 🔥
The Lakers often let other teams' shooters get hot, like Beasly in this game. It will be interesting to see how the return of Gabe and Vando plays out defensively.
Idk about Vincent barely got to see him play and Dinwiddie has been good for us but Vando is going to change the defense just by being available Lakers always play with more energy when he's out there and right when he got hurt again he had found his groove offensively cutting off ball and hitting his threes looking like he made a leap in his game.
@@CrazyxEnigma yea. feels bad for vando and even reddish, best wing defenders were starting to legit score 10 every game before they got injured
Convinced that bucks fans just exist to protect Giannis from analysts
be quiet lil yboy.
Facts, everything is everyone else’s fault but not Giannis
Giannis 29/21/11 56% shooting on bad game. Leaving it there ☠
@@everythinglakers1713 they wanna protect their golden boy
no it just a little annoying how you comedians wait for him losing a game even if he literally outperforms ad to say "ad is better than him" when Giannis clears him EVERY GAME win or loss @@everythinglakers1713
Would love more watchalongs!

More content like this! I really enjoyed this style of break down.
love the video bro,, need more of these
I love these watch-along videos. Keep up the great content!!
Helluva game!
Great analysis
Loving the watch alongs ❤❤
Love the watch togethers Ben, it's funny how much your vids have rubbed off on me, especially when players take tough shots. I think "they could prob get smth better" watching it live then i hear the exact same sentiment in these vids! 😂
I really love these watch alongs, keep them coming!
You know you're a bad coach when Darvin Ham is able to out coach you.
Hamm was a bucks assistant coach for years. He knows how to defend Giannis and his teammates
Really enjoy your content. The way you analyze and break things down is fantastic.
man i love your takes. really good supplements great games like this very well
This was a solid review of the 4th Quarter and OT. I was locked in the whole time.
Docs are already on playoffs mode
Love these
Yeah, the vid is a thoughtful analysis of the game. One of the best about this game.
Absolutely great video. Thank you
The weakness is basically the Bucks only have one player that can drive to the basket in Giannis. So if you find a way to stop Giannis from getting to the rim then the Bucks are forced to take more difficult shots.
All you need is to have a defender like AD and Dame and Khris being unable to convert jumpshots.
Giannis coocks AD more often than not
Trash take right there, if you actually watched other Bucks games this year you'd see Dame getting layups all night long in most of their games.
@@DPR-GENXWhy couldn't he get to the rim against the Lakers or Boston? P.S. I've watched almost every Bucks game this year.
@@DPR-GENX casual take. But what do you expect if these nerds also play that narrative. Bucks actually were fine to good in the clutch all year long
him and dame are really the only guys that make a quick move and f*cking get past ya lol
Gosh please do more of these, my favourite form of hoops content!
24:24 Alas, Khris Middleton saw it but was likely too tired so he pointed Bobby Portis to help but it was just too late
The shot by Reeves why he shot that one. You see the length by Lopez, that was the only way to get the ball out.
The Bucks forgot ehat was eorking for them.
Great comeback for LA
Great breakdown as always👍💪
The Doc rivers effect in fill swing. Choke job master piece
Great video, really helpful in understanding the game at a deeper level. Would love to see more of this!
I love these watch along videos
Giannis not jumping over Reeves for the easy 2 in OT is one of the weirdest plays I've seen this season - like, Giannis is the preeminent downhill threat in the game, he's at full steam with a smallish energy guy in front of him...and he dishes. Rivers has this team completely in its own head
No way Brook lopez was letting reaves box him out 😭🤦🏽♂️
We not gonna give AR his props. Lil bro go great defense
Great video 💯
Please do a watch along on the Mavs!
AD is a monster. If he could just stay healthy and play without fearing injury.
AD and Reaves was locking Dame and Giannis at key moments
This is on Doc and his turning the best player on the team into a bench player.
This game shouldn't have been this close ppl want to blame FTs & completely ignore the trash def that put them in that position....On the final attempt in reg I think Reaves was expecting someone to be trailing closer than they were. If he did catch it closer I think Giannis blocks it
What about the bullshit lakers calls before that ? 🤡
@@jeffereyfapenstein4796 Before what? MIL had two 19pt leads. One of which was in the 4thQ where LAL only had 5 FTA. Even if LAL made every FT in regulation it still wouldn't make up the lead MIL had...
Unfortunately, I am not having a great day because it started raining heavily when I went to play ball outside trying to be like Anthony Davis single knee. I didn’t know the weather was trying to attack me…
Thanks for asking.
These long deep dives keep me coming back
21:33 - "Vintage Anthony Davis. He's both injured and dominating."
😂
Middletons injuries have really staggered the Bucks offense. If he’s making the same shit he put up in that bucks vs suns finals, the bucks would be the overall 1 seed. But having him as a 3rd option and not the second I think has hurt them. Dame isn’t a lob threat passer like jrue was and jrue was great on the drive and kickout to middleton. I think the trade to get rid of jrue was actually a bad move
"this team (coached by Doc Rivers) has lost more games in the 4th quarter than anyone in the NBA" - Phil Jackson
I really think Doc should work on Giannis' free throw shooting . As we know he can draw free throws easilt but drawn free throws are almost completely useless if you dont hit them
LOL. The entire team to the ft line earlier, the opposing team gets tired of guarding someone going through contact all game long, plus bigs need to be careful when they have 4-5 faults in the 4th already. All these and more happen when you drive to the basket all the time.
To me this game is a prime example of the difference between AD and Gobert. Don’t get me wrong, Gobert is ELITE in the paint but AD is just everywhere man. Gobert lives in the key but AD lives in the half court basically. That dame contest was insane
Great breakdown!
Proud of my guys
Great video
in moments like these, I just don't understand why the bench doesn't get more minutes. Everyone's exhausted, so give minutes to the guys that aren't, right? I get it for the stars like Giannis and Davis, but I'm sure the other spots can be filled out by guys with a little more energy
The Lakers bench would've lost the game. With the injuries to Vincent and Vando and Dinwiddie out there with LeBron out it's not very good.
They'll get cooked. They don't have the respect of the refs. The dropoff from starters to bench is steep. Plus, you have a veteran point guard and Giannis, who should be able to exploit these Laker guards like everybody else does.
wow, I didn't know the drop off was that steep for the bench lineups, I figured that talent was starting to be more evenly distributed in the league and that bench players and starters would have less difference between them, but I guess not. Must be kind of tough to watch the starters be exhausted when you're on the bench just watching the play
another Doc Rivers master class 😂😂😂
People really forgetting that Hamm won a championship with the Bucks. Hamm knows these players habits well especially since it’s the same core minus Jrue. Same thing with Ty Lue and LeBron. Ty Lue is always gonna have his team prepared for LeBron because he knows what LeBron likes to do.
Love this channel! thanks for the awesome breakdowns!
It's funny how AD plays against Giannis, Embid, Jokic, Draymond etc like he has to prove to these but against Sabonis it's totally different AD
every single one of those dudes routinely outplay him
He does... Giannis embarrassed AD and LBJ way too many times during their encounters. He must have come on top something like 9/10 times. And this was a Bucks collapse more than anything else... Anyway, Bucks just better team and Giannis just better player on both ends.... It's just that Lakers fans (like this channel) don't wanna admit that AD is cooked and plays once every other week because his body can't take it.
Good game, but lets not act AD is on the same level as Giannis, he is absolutely not.
@@panagiotisatmatzidis9972 can you read lol
@@meech2066 the answer to that question is kinda obvious… assuming you have a brain.
12:30 I do think Reaves got some tunnel vision and didn't realize he was that wide open for the shot lol, maybe that's why he backtracked so far the 3-pt line. If he hugs the line he might've had a better chance of a winning game three.
Why are bench players allowed to stand on the edge of the court like that?
Thanks
Dame is a mess i thought Giannis and Dame's style would mesh perfectly but when they are both on the floor together Dame is a weakness. Its different when Giannis is out or on the bench but he just doesnt take many shots and doesnt get in a rythem.
what a great channel!
I think It’s time for Dame to come up with a new move, the side step three is being read like a book.
This lakers team is so much better than their record suggests. Unless they face the nuggets early, I can see SEVERAL upsets in the seeds with the Lakers.
Ham has lost us multiple games this season with his refusal to call time outs and inability to adjust. Average coach and this team has 4-5 more wins at least and we're in the hunt for 4th. AD has expressed frustration multiple times that the team needs to trust him more and not hard double on guys driving and leave it to him but that's the scheme🤷 leaving guys wide open to get hot from 3 doesn't help either.
cuz ham just loves prince too much when in reality rui was much better than him, then ham finally figured out the starting lineup on a time Lakers need to win every game and pray suns, mavs, kings take losses
@@HubertKingHebra Not a coincidence Prince is playing better with less minutes too. He was being asked to do way too much and play way more minutes then he ever had to prior to this season.
Reaves is the unsung star of this game. So many clutch shots, defensive actions and the energy to break down offenses in the double OT.. You can't teach that
Doc Rivers bringing the 3-1 energy ✨
Ad looked like he was hobbling or playing through something, really sucks to see but I’m glad he’s playing
Give Davis his flowers... I've been saying it for years.
I wish he did more of these, is that on his patreon?
AD, Jokic, and Embiid are detail-type players, Giannis is just physical. -JJ redick
Ya thats Giannis' biggest problem IMO. Just brute forces his way into solutions rather than carefully taking months to observe, understand, repetitively tackle , and work on problems he has.
ESPECIALLY on offence!
Even though I love Giannis' mindset and competitive spirit I think that unfortunately he was slightly overrated by some fans and media members like Chris Broussard and Nick Wright.
Giannis is amazing without a doubt but the gap between him and Jokic is quite massive. When you scheme against the Nuggets there are so many ways Jokic can destroy your defense. Giannis, only superpower offensively can be stopped with at least a great rim protector staying in the paint and a scheme to limit his drives.
When he won the title in 2021 Giannis faced some of the weakest frontcourts in a title run. Nic Claxton, John Collins and Deandre Ayton. Including the presence of Brook Lopez, the opposing teams were quite thin at the power forward position allowing him to feast at the rim.
Anthony Davis DOMINANT vs. Bucks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
AD is the DPOY!
Not to discredit Rudy but you can't name another Laker player who plays big mins that's known for defense...there's at least 2 in Minnesota
Rudy has the best defensive rating
People better start putting some respect on Austin Reeves name!
offenses hunt austin reaves a lot but recently ive seen him trying more defensively- he got lots of good stops/contests when they hunted him in the 4th/OT
He has always tried defensively, he just isn't athletic enough to stay or bang with bigger guards
absolute asster class by dame
I have no idea what happened to Dame during the last summer bit wooooow...
This man has changed for the worst ...
Malik Beasley was still signed to us lakers🙌🏼 thank god we traded him, bro missed 3 back to back to back wide open 3’s😂 in the clutch too. Ntm his defense gave us 2-3 free buckets in the clutch 🙏🏽
Yep it's a bad sign the Bucks have had to use him as a starter which isn't capable of being on a contender.
he shot like what, below 30% on 3 after he got traded to the lakers, only time he was out of rotation was in the middle of the series against memphis
@@CrazyxEnigma yeah bucks don’t really have depth, shows a lot when your relying on Malik Beasley in a double OT.
What a great game!
Great video too!
gotta love how bron jus walked on the court
watch AR how he put body to the bucks bigs, and on the 2nd OT the lakers has the advantage because they have the younger legs in Reaves
The defensive rotations were shockingly lacking here from Milwaukee, but man.. that shot selection too! Surely the fatigue had to be a part in this, right? I mean, SO MANY of these looks from the Bucks are ones you regularly see them pass up
Giannis makes shooting free throws look SO HARD. How does anyone, with access to the best coaching around, ever end up with that form? I just want to shout at him "Relax your back! Knock it off with the hitches!"
I've realized the only time people talk about the bucks is when they have a bad game
Exactly but we don't see anything about how they held OKC to below 100 a game ago
This channel hates giannis . It's a known fact lol
@@JesusSantos-tk2sv well, if Giannis disappears like he did in this game and plays like someone you got off the street who sees a basketball for the first time in their life, there is no reason to like him.
@@slXD100Disappears as in having a triple double on an off-night?
@@TheRealCowlick that amazing triple double doesn't matter when you sh1t the bed like did. this game was over, he didn't even need to be good, just score a couple points, do better. but he even failed to do that. you can have the most amazing game ever, none of it matters if you can't close it. like running a marathon, being first and then suddenly stop before the finish line and let everyone overtake you.
Doc rivers is costing Giannis and the bucks another ring. Atrocious defensive coverages, horrible offensive execution. Disgusting drop coverage,, a fan from the standa could score on this Bucks defense. Someone get Doc rivers away from coaching or basketball in general before he does more damage.
On that game winner attempt in the 4th, AR has to keep cutting until spencer hits him; I'm sure he would've rather gotten it at the elbow too :')
Respectfully, how are we still mispronouncing Antetokounmpo in 2024?
Fr
And Luka donkick
@1:51 for anyone wondering
Adetokounbo
Because it’s an objectively difficult name to pronounce lol 😂
Is this Jason from the Hoops podcast?
I believe Austin not stopping near the 3 point line for the shot was because Lopez was guarding the inbounder and he didn’t have a line of pass
I was actually pretty disappointed when I saw that the Bucks traded Jrue for Dame. I really thought they should have traded for a lower level shot creator like Jordon Clarkson or maybe even Mike Conley.
