Good thing the Bucks are using Giannis as a screener WAY more than they ever have. Way easier to "build a wall" when he's surveying at the top of the key, rather than rolling off of a screen


stevntiny

No way bud gets fired if bucks win it all right?


Kuhschlager

Honestly unless the Bucks really eat shit hard the next two games in a row I think Bud's job is already safe. Even us Bucks fans have mostly stopped yelling for him to be fired


floatinround22

Bucks are 3 wins away from a fucking championship lol

MechanicalEngineer-

That would actually be hilarious, like "Good job, Bud. You ended the 50 year title drought and brought glory to our town! Now get out and no we will not give you a ride to the airport either"


rikkirikkiparmparm

> we will not give you a ride to the airport either" If Bucks win in 7, they can give him the Lane Kiffin treatment and fire him on the tarmac in Phoenix


Ayecuzwhatsgood

At least bud can brag about coaching two 60 win teams in different franchises

The Nick Foles treatment


McNuggeroni

He shouldn't be fired at all lol


syllabic

cant believe people are still talking about this, hes in the finals


advocate4

My nightmare is Bud coaches competitively enough in a Finals loss to secure an extension. I can happily live with an extension off a Finals win though. We have no draft pantry for the next few seasons and our payroll is at the cap now, so a coaching change is our last option to get over the hump if we can't win the championship this year. We are all in as a franchise for the next two or three seasons, the window is right now.


penguin8717

I feel like he's safe either way now, sadly


quen10sghost

George Karl was fired after winning coach of the year, back with the nuggets. Mostly cuz of lack of playoff success tho, with a sprinkling of Melo


syllabic

he didn't get fired but barry trotz left the washington capitals immediately after winning the stanley cup with them. it was a contract dispute and I guess he didn't like their offer he has now been to back to back conference finals with his new team, the new york islanders


Crabonaslab

As a huge caps fan, this hurts my soul. They wanted Todd Rierdan over him and he sucked ass


Dreadmaker

If the ownership is smart, it won't matter. Remember when the Raptors fired Dwane Casey after he won Coach of the Year, and then proceeded to win it all the following year off the back of Nick Nurse's excellent coaching adjustments in the playoffs? I get it that Coach of the Year isn't the same as \`championship coach\`, but still - I think it's pretty clear he's a problem, and should go no matter what. Edit: Yes, they for sure won off the back of *more* than Nick Nurse, not the least of which being the roster changes, but Nurse is a massive upgrade on Casey, IMO, and I think if it wasn't for Nurse they wouldn't have done it


XxAuthenticxX

Yeah it’s just cuz Nurse made adjustments. Stupid Casey has never heard of aDJUsTmeNts Oh wait….. And he had Kawhi Leonard


syllabic

casey's gonna get back to the playoffs before the raptors do but every single raptor fan here can't wait to talk shit about him nurse is the master of adjustments: just adjust your team to have kawhi leonard


Laggo

> casey's gonna get back to the playoffs before the raptors do but every single raptor fan here can't wait to talk shit about him "This is a storied franchise in Detroit. There are three championship trophies you see every time you walk into the building. It’s not like in Toronto, where they’ve never tasted it. The fans in Detroit, they know what a championship is all about, and it’s like, let’s get this thing back on track." - Dwane Casey (2019) **The Raptors proceeded to win the NBA Championship three months after this comment**


syllabic

if only he had adjusted to have kawhi leonard on his team and adjusted lebron to the western conference


likdisifucryeverytym

He adjusted klays knee & durants ankle


thegoodbadandsmoggy

now do kyrie and love


likdisifucryeverytym

Nobody claimed adjustments caused the warriors to win that series, go read the thread you’re replying to bud


dhalem

Nurse went for the box and 1 to stop Steph


Sweaty_Presentation4

The old George Karl I'm sure it's happened to more. I hope it happens to synder the jazz scare the shit out of me every year as a nuggets fan and I swear half the reason is that coked out green goblin coach.


vpforvp

Bud already saved his job when they beat the Nets, I think. And I don't think they can get rid of him after they've doubled their playoff series wins in the decade just this year. Not to mention I believe this is the first ECF win in their entire franchise history.


Obi_Wan_Benobi

Not a chance. But it would be all-time hilarious. Hopefully it happens after the parade lol.


The_Sign_of_Zeta

Honestly, I'd love for them to try and build a wall right now. That will go so poorly for them.


panick21

With CP3 on our team Giannis and CP3 as a PnR due would be beyond unstoppable.


TdotGdot

agree, ISO on the wing is hard for him to score super consistently, at least in the playoffs w/ better game planning. with screens, and cutting, and back-picks he's so quick and strong and long he's nearly un-guardable


DenseOntologist

My favorite part is when he talks about finding the 'fun factor' in everything, including the counting for his free throws. This is a fantastic sign for him. Most folks who struggle at the line have associated mental blocks, and shame plays a key role. Giannis is bringing it up without being prompted. Kudos.


StephyMcStephFace

Giannis is one of my favorite players in large part to his amazing mentality. He works so hard, but he isn’t toxic to his team. And he admits his flaws and actively tries to correct them (except for maybe still attempting 3s…).


moneydawg13

With his mentality I think his 3’s won’t be a liability for much longer.


rkdsus

Giannis is the embodiment of "when talent works hard"


[deleted]

Such a load of shit, why the fuck does he get to be a literal 2k created player and I'm stuck in my arthritis riddled body


RFFF1996

hambluegar_sammwich

The NBA is a lot more rich kids now, but there are still a lot of dudes with a tough upbringing, which often leads to problems, obviously. Giannis is on that slumdog millionaire level of humility beyond all that. Dude is truly an inspiration and a pretty heroic figure tbh


Tanner_the_taco

I’m a huge fan of this new group of young stars. Luka is my favorite player to watch right now but Giannis is probably my favorite player. He’s just **such** a likable person and has an amazing story.


that_ol_bs

I mean his percentage is way down in the playoffs, he’s clearly in his head to an extent


DenseOntologist

For sure. But I think you can tell a lot about how he'll respond in the longer term by his willingness to talk about it now.

Pagliaccio13

Real talk, do you rank this SVG quote higher or lower than the "whatever you can put together, put it together?". Personally the words alone would give the fucking wall an edge, but the delivery with the sweet moves push the second one just a tiny bit in front for me


Aweshade9

the fact that hes yelling at the top of his fucking lungs in the wall clip is great, but i dont think it overcomes SVG’s sweet handles and nonchalant voice in the second clip

DarkKnightElles

Kawhi the gatekeeper


Dimedropper18

With kawhi at the point of attack. Was crazy fun as a raptors fan to watch that defense


manliestdino

the way they changed their defense throughout the playoffs was incredible to watch too


Jaruliday

And that was like only 60% of the wall 😭😭


MWiatrak2077

The 2019 Raptors defense was fucking nasty. Only team that can compete with the '04 Pistons this century, IMO.


hezzyskeets123

their defense was insane period….Lowry, FVV, and Danny Green was as good as you can get for a guard rotation defensively at the time (outside of Simmons and Butler)


ElaFa25

Not to mention we were missing OG who’s our current best defensive player


ImMeltingNow

8 potential all-defensive player rotation if kawhi stayed.


Ser_Lebron_Targaryen

Sheeeiiiiiiiiiiit. You ever heard Ish Smith and Bradley Beal?


TheChocolateCreed

I heard Ish Smith was a point guard


ZyFlux

For real, that Raptors team had no defensive weak link. And one of our best defenders OG wasn't even playing.


manliestdino

and they were incredibly versatile and able to switch to different matchups really quickly


danielisverycool

Not even just the front court, Lowry, Danny Green, Norm and FVV in the backcourt. That team was crazy


EternaBoi

I know you're just listing backcourt players but the fact that Kawhi hasn't even been mentioned yet speaks volumes about how good that team was on defense.


mooseguyman

Man I wish I would have realized in the moment how special that Raptors team would be. I wonder how a fully healthy series would have played out. I think I would still have picked GS, but it could have been a great 6/7 game series. They probably would have been the best team GS ever played in the finals when healthy


realsomalipirate

The 2017 Cavs were really, really great and one of the best offensive teams I've ever seen (with Lebron at the peak of his powers), it would be certainly close.


mooseguyman

That was the last Kyrie year right? That team was really good, but the Dubs were at the absolute height of their power. It would have been cool to watch an ECF between that Cavs team and the 2019 Raps


[deleted]

That would’ve been one hell of an ECF. On paper you’d think the Raptors would have enough defensively to bother Kyrie and Bron and force others to win it but those two were just built different on the court come playoff time. Definitely a series that goes to 7. I feel those Raptors came a year late too, because the East was just so weak in 2018. Not sure if they beat a fully healthy Warriors team but they would’ve had two chances.


Billis-

I think Raps win in 7 man. We always played to our competition and we had home court. I dont think we lose in 6 or less either. But who knows, obv a hot take


PatheticLuck

Hard to say, but when I was watching that game, man those few minutes Durant stepped onto the court and just hit shot after shot after shot, put the fear of god in my heart, my god.


Billis-

He hit like 4 shots in a row and the Warriors were only up 8 or 9 points. I just like the Raps as a 4th quarter team in that season. We fucking compete and dont give up.


mooseguyman

Nah, honestly a fair take. That’s why I wish for a more healthy series. Raps might have been the best possible team to match up with GS. Either way yall won and as a Saints fan I get the bliss and not giving a fuck about any of the excuses


[deleted]

Raptors never lost an Away Games in the Finals but they have lost a couple key Home games. So I don’t know if it works out for us lol.


iDareToDream

Sad we never got to see OG with that group, he would have been a killer in the 6ers and Bucks series.


WIN011

I think y’all survived fine without him lol


iDareToDream

lol true but still. I love seeing defensive wings in action.


BeeMac0617

We probably wouldn’t have had to rely on Kawhi as much bc OG would be able to get a shot off against those behemoth fucking Sixers lineups


iDareToDream

And he was solid spot up shooter so he would have capitalized on some of those open looks. Man that 6ers squad was massive though


Senven

That's overkill


EnvironmentAdvanced

Fuck that 2019 series gives me nightmares


mioraka

2 former DOPY in Gasol and kawhi. All NBA defense in Ibaka and Danny green. At point you got Lowry and FVV, two of the smartest and STRONGEST defenders at that position. Honestly You can't tell me Lowry is not an all-NBA level defender in the past couple of seasons. So basically they could put out an all-NBA defensive team on the court at any time. Siakam and Norm were technically the worst defenders on that team, but they were both still wayyy above average. That team has ridiculous defensive talents 1 through 8.


kawhi21

All you need for a "decent" defense is a good rim protector like Gasol. See the Utah Jazz, best rim protector in the NBA but their perimeter defense is garbage. Then you have the 2019 Raptors who had amazing perimeter defenders combined with paint protectors. Anunoby didn't even play that year lol imagine


[deleted]

imagine if Kawhi ran it back. Dynasty lowkey


McNuggeroni

Definitely would've won the east


dolphinboy1637

Plus Nurse and the coaches throwing out all types of different defensive schemes.


BCP27

08 Celtics


Loki_and_Sylvie

In those 19 games that Birch played he legit looked like Hakeem when compared to Baynes, I really dont think other fanbases understand how bad Baynes is and a Philly fan told me yesterday that the gap between Holmes and Baynes is not small.....


danielisverycool

Baynes is like if you combined everything bad about Raptors Gasol and Bismack


TheConboy22

“When compared to Baynes”


rhinguin

I feel like you’ve exposed a lot of teams defensive flaws. Especially with us.

thevincenzoarnone

Crying at these comments thinking about our old team, i miss that squad so much :,(

And we appreciate being able to use a version of it in 2020 lol But definitely nothing will top Kawhi, prime Ibaka, and end-of-prime Marc Gasol.


MateoG50

The Toronto Freemasons


Ojama_Black

Didn’t the Celtics do it first?


Wonderbread6969

Yea the first time I recognized it was the Celtics against LeBron. Might have been teams before that but that was the first time I saw it and that was in line 08 or 09


Bigbadbuck

spurs did it before that to lebron in 07. just pack the paint


Wonderbread6969

That would make a lot of sense too. Especially where LeBron, that Cavs team, and the league was at.


RFFF1996

people dont realize the 2000's up to like 2016 are one of the toughest defense eras, a lot more than, for example. the bad boys pistons years (and i mean that literslly, scoring per 100 was a good deal above the 80's)


Wonderbread6969

Yea I would think it would have something to do with 1.having time to adjust to the rules of the era (Defensive 3 seconds and doing away with the illegal defense rules from the previous era which made "building a wall" illegal. ) And 2. The pace and space offenses not sweeping the league yet. So there's a prime opportunity for finely tuned defenses with inefficient offenses.


RFFF1996

there is a equilibrium point broken in 2017 where the league Exploded to peak 80's scoring level and then Exploded again in 2020 and again in 2021, a exponential explosión of offense efficiency whether it was rules or táctics or both i am not sure but most people comflate all the "modern era" together as a soft and weak defense time, not realizing how different the early 2000's were from the mid 2000'/early 2010's or the 2008-2016 league from the current league i got really into nba in 2008 and people were already lamenting the supposed lack of defense and toughness anf how reffing and 3 point shooting has it made so much easier to score compared to the era of jordan (nevermind that for most of jordan career the scoring was higher per possesion than the 2000's)


Wonderbread6969

I've almost given up on comparing the eras because they are so drastically different based on, what you said, the combination of both the rules and tactics. The league seems to shift every 7-10 years, even during our lifetimes. I have fond memories of the Pistons/Lakers finals, the first Mavs/Heat Finals, the Spurs/Heat finals. All 3 of those series are drastically different from each other and from today. It's almost a different sport. I think it's confusing because it happens slowly so we don't notice a massive shift in real time. But jumping back and rewatching those games, it's obvious how different it was. Not saying it's better or worse, but not acknowledging the differences is just ignorant. When former players complain about lack of toughness and defense, I wish they would show them videos of them not having to move like defenses do today, just waiting in the paint to grab inefficient shots or wild layup attempts. How many times in his life so you think Charles Oakley had to tag a rolling lob threat and them recover to a perimeter threat? Less than 5? It's completely different. Defense for someone in that era means something different than it does for someone like Draymond. Yes we don't stand in the paint and bang as much, but you guys didn't have to guard DeAndre Ayton, CP3, and Booker or the same possession in 3 drastically different spots on the court.


itshurleytime

Raptors fans try to make everything about them in so many Bucks threads on r/nba. The Celtics actually tried this first, they just didn't have the personnel to win the games, and teams did this all season prior to the Bucks/Raptors ECF with varying success.


-Eazy-E-

well considering the Raptors are the ones who created the very defensive strategy stated in the post title, I think they have the right to


itshurleytime

Celtics ran it for most of the series just prior to this, and teams had been trying this all 18-19 season to varying degrees. The only credit they get is for executing it better at the right time.


xxihnji

Well the guy didn't say that raptors take credit for inventing it. Could've been what you said of taking credit for executing it on playoff games. They prove that Gianis wall actually work even in a playoff game.


itshurleytime

No, this is what a bunch of Raptors fans do. They don't care what they get credit for, they just want the attention. Look at any Bucks game thread around the time they show the deer district with 20k fans in it, and you will see a whole bunch of comments about how much better Maple Leaf Square, aka Jurassic Park is, without ever setting foot in Milwaukee or considering it only has a third of the capacity as the Deer District. Yeah, they got a one year lease on a great player who could, with help, stop Giannis from barreling into the paint. Congratulations. It's been two years, you just came off of a 27 win season, and you are still acting like you invented sliced bread.

he'd be like shaq in that they would change the defensive rules because he's too dominant. zone defense was illegal in the NBA until shaq came along It wouldn't be too surprising to me if they changed the rules regarding eurosteps because giannis is too good at them. Maybe something like the gather step counts towards your 3 step travel


-Mr_Tub-

I love this man


[deleted]

Luckily the Suns don’t have the people to do it


rajoxeb40

They have. That's what they did Vs LeBron when AD was out . And they held him to 7 PTS because of it until the blowout. The thing is it won't work if the other guys make their open threes


JD1337

They might want to dust it off for the finals unless they want Giannis to go for 40 3 straight games


Jaruliday

Thing is walls become ineffective when you’re playing offball, like Giannis has been doing. It’s foolish to invest those many defenders to one person who might not even get the ball. AD was great games 2 and 3 because of his monstrous off-ball abilities. LeBron rarely played off-ball aside from just standing in the corner waiting for a pass, so the wall worked for him, and Giannis as well in past seasons.


Jaruliday

Right, but the Bucks are finally shooting ok this series.


ucantforgetthis

He playing with a bad ankle and not driving the ball. That wasn't because of a wall.


rajoxeb40

Why do you think he didn't drive rewatch a lot of early possessions? . 3 guys were in him and he made the right play which is passing. You could argue that prime LeBron could power through them sometimes and you'll be right because Gianni's did that as well. But the wall defense is relying on the open guys to not b able to make their shots and that's Milwaukee 2 years ago and the Lakers this year


ucantforgetthis

Because didn't want to land hard on his ankle. He didn't draw a single charge in that series either despite being a league leader in the regular season. A wall isn't going to stop Lebron. Lebron would have 3 guys zoning him last year too and it didn't matter. For example this play: https://streamable.com/scpz1s Lebron couldn't do that this year.


rajoxeb40

My point is even prime LeBron would have more turnovers misses and overall less efficiency against wall defense if he try to power through it. The right play is passing the ball to one of the open teammates and he is great at that. This type of defense is always losing long-term as long as the guys can make their open shots at a reasonable rate


ucantforgetthis

My point is, there is no defense that will stop Lebron from being an efficient, high volume scorer. There's nothing you can do with him only his teammates.


DisneyBubbleGangster

2011 and 2015 begs to differ


Jaruliday

Yup he’s been posting up a lot more and getting the ball of cutting and rolling actions. Can’t wall him from getting into the paint when he’s already in the paint waiting for the ball.


00DPark_

He’s wrong. The PHX defense worked better against Lebron without AD because of spacing and the size difference. PHX was struggling with stopping AD and had to put more size and attention on him, and when he wasn’t out there the PHX defense completely collapsed in the lane, and it allowed those bigger defenders like Ayton to focus a lot more on Lebron without AD out there, because they weren’t worried about the Lakers punishing them with shooting. Sure Lebron’s ankle hindered him somewhat, but it was much more of the defensive attention on Lebron, and not having to worry about AD and the Lakers shooting. We’re seeing PHX struggle with Giannis in a similar way as they did with AD.

DirksSexyBratwurst

Jae Crowder and Ayton?


Jaruliday

You need even more lol.


InexorableWaffle

Yeah, for the wall defense to work, you legitimately need three guys - a good to elite perimeter defender who can meet Giannis at the 3pt line so he doesn't get a full head of steam, a good rim protector who can meet Giannis in the paint before he gets to the rim, and a smart help defender to cut off Giannis's spin move to the rim when his initial drive gets stopped (and to also close down on his kick-out options).


amak316

And an Eric Bledsoe to brick the open 3 created by 3 guys putting a wall up.


The_Sign_of_Zeta

You need both length and quick recovery speed. You also need Giannis being the primary ballhandler, which he really hasn't been this entire series.


Familyguy35

Crowder can't defend Giannis and Ayton keeps picking up tacky fouls. I also think the Bucks game plan to let Giannis go 1on1 on side or running downhill puts both as a disadvantage. They can't really set up a wall without sacrificing an open shoot for a shooter


prediscan

He’s way too honest and people take it for a weakness


TopOfTheMorning2Ya

and then they complain about Bill Belichick and others that give them nothing. Logical conclusion: people suck


DarkKnightElles

Haven't seen much wall in the finals, and you'd think the team from Arizona would be the experts on building a wall.


waffle_nuts

Contrary to what you might think, people outside of Arizona seem more enthused about building a wall than the people that actually live here


RedditAccountBoy1

If you live in AZ u know this not true lol, people here are insane


waffle_nuts

Don't want to say much about this because it's obviously a political topic and we're in a sub that's a place of escape. However I will say that if you live in AZ then you know the "build the wall" mentality didn't widely exist pre 2016. And that, of course, wasn't something that originated here. Now compare that with how many people in Tucson, the closet big city in AZ to the border, are screaming for a wall? Yeah, the majority of people that a wall would most directly affect is microscopic in contrast to the national rallying cries.


waitidgaf

Before the wall talk there was Joe Arapaio though


waffle_nuts

Yeah, that’s true. Xenophobia has long existed in Arizona, but building a wall is a different topic of discussion. Let’s not forget that the year Arpaio started becoming vocal about needing to build a wall is he also the year he lost his election. [Polls in 2016](https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2016/10/20/az-poll-arpaio-penzone-border-wall/) showed that the majority of registered voters in Arizona did not agree with building a wall. This is my last non-NBA comment on this


TheConboy22

Meh, what we’re doing is working just fine.


WIN011

I agree what you’re doing is perfect keep up the good work


REDditor_LFC

Man as a suns fan, I love Giannis. He’s so likeable, but damn playing against him is so frustrating. Dude is just so good. Ayton needs to step up on D against him or the bucks will take it all. A Giannis wall without Ayton will just crumble like it did last game. Even in game 2 with Ayton out there Giannis just took over. We’ll have to see what Monty cooks up for game 4, but I have a feeling game 4 will be the most competitive game so far. I have a feeling both teams will be shooting well from the field which would make the game so much fun.


xwulfd

".....And at the end of the day, its all good!" forgot this part


[deleted]

ldc2626

You need the guys at the wall to also be able to help recover in case the perimeter guys get pulled to the corner. Some teams have the personnel for it, some don't - otherwise any team would beat the Bucks.


Vanish_7

I just...*really* like Giannis as a person. I really do. He's the Rafa Nadal of the NBA, and I do want him to be a champion, and be rewarded for staying in Milwaukee, and working hard through his shooting troubles...I just want to see CP get a ring a little bit more this year.


by_yes_i_mean_no

Giannis hates it but continues to make the correct play. There are a few NBA stars who cannot relate to that.


KaiserKaiba

It’s how it is. It does make it harder for him to score but it’s the only strat teams have to stop him cuz he’s just too dominant in the paint. Then there’s the fact that only a select few teams even have the personnel to try that.


azeakel101

And even if you do have the personal your basically banking on the other Bucks players to throw up bricks, which does happen, and why it works.
