    I like our chances. We couldn't shoot much worse. The Bucks threw a couple of haymakers early. We're still standing.

    But some teams prevent 1 and 2 dribble blow-bys much better than us.

    Providing individual resistance, shading your opponent to a spot, etc. really helps setup your weakside help D. We give up way too many straight line drives, you have to agree with that.

    The Bucks staying cold from outside would help as well.

    Interesting notes:
    If Portland just shot 40%, they'd be within 1 point.

    If they shot their average, they're up by 5

    Nurk’s scoring efficiency for the 80 games prior to this year was 0.570 which is Ok. This year it is bad at 0.523 but only slightly worse than Melo. He’ll get better. His screens alone are huge on offense.

    God Nurk is awful on offense. Creating too many wide open shots

    Milwaukee is playing like they know that they'll get every shot they want.
