The Bucks had absolutely no answer for the Kyrie/Horford pick and roll, pick and pop game. If Horford didn't miss a number of early shots, the game would've been even uglier. If the Bucks can't figure that out, they're in a lot of trouble.
What got them in a lot of trouble was having their big man in no-man's land. I think they'll try a couple of things: -Have Lopez trap Kyrie to get the ball out of his hands. Live with Al taking open jumpers or rotate on defense, leading to open corner 3's from guys like Tatum, Brown or Hayward.
-Get better wing support after the P&R- Get the wing defender to pinch so Lopez can stay with Horford- would lead to them living with more open corner 3's.
-Less Lopez. If the C's are going to have Horford defend Giannis and Lopez is going to live at the 3 point line, the C's will take that all day and stick someone like Morris on him. He can't really park himself in the paint, either, because Giannis needs room to operate. The problem the Bucks have if they take him out is Mirotic and Ilyasova are similar to Lopez. They're bigs who can hit the 3 but can't really create for themselves and aren't going to help much on defense. Giannis, Middleton, Brown, Bledsoe, Hill? That's an incredibly small lineup, but you have Giannis on Al and he can switch onto Kyrie 1:1. Middleton guards Morris, Brown guards Tatum, Bledsoe on Jaylen and Hill on Kyrie. The C's should dominate on the boards and Al would abuse their guards if Giannis switched onto Kyrie, but I think this could work. Am I crazy?
