There's a lot of money at stake in the NBA In-Season Tournament. For 2-way players, it's a whole lot
Two-way players make about $559,000 this season. If they’re on the title-winning team in Las Vegas, they’ll get $250,000 more.
By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer At stake over the next week in the NBA: a trip to Las Vegas for four teams, a chance to be the first team to hoist the league’s newest trophy, along with bragging rights for winning the inaugural in-season tournament. And money. A lot of money. In a few cases, what some guys win on Saturday will be about half of what they’ll make all season. There are cash…

The Bucks Historic Meltdown Was Ugly
“The reason that people don’t trust the process, is because they don’t have one”-The Defense
youtube
The theme of the 1st round of the NBA playoffs has been about upsets and this was by far the biggest let down arguably in NBA playoffs history. The American media describing this as a “collapse” is not inaccurate.
This was nasty. It was ugly. The signs were bad from the very beginning with Giannis’ injury in game 1.
This will go down as the worst series of Giannis’ career. Worse than 2019 against Toronto, which was actually a valiant effort, and worse than 2020 when they were swept by the Heat.
Giannis going 12-22 in game 4 was a big sign that the storm was already at it’s worst. That jumpball that came to him at the end of game 5 that nearly turned in to a turnover, had it not been saved by Middleton, was the stuff of nightmares.
It was a series filled with horrors, gasps, punches to the gut, and worst of all, the bewilderment of watching a team just get taken apart despite their tag as favorites.
The Bucks had double digit leads in the 4th quarters of both game 4 and game 5, they would lose both games.
I really have to wonder whether Khris Middleton can continue to be a part of this team for the amount of money that he’s on and he’s up for a new contract which they. 4-12 with 14 points in game 4, that game 4 that really just let the flood gates of disaster open on these Milwaukee Bucks.
The idea that a 1st seed could fall apart like that was inconcievable to me but lo and behold we watched it happen and I now have even more reasons to hate Jimmy Butler.
The Bucks defense simply puts too much pressure on Jrue Holiday as an individual defender, and while he can lock guys down, it cannot be that he’s the only defender on the team that can fight over the top of a screen.
The Mike Budenholzer timeout situation in game 5 was an absolute brain fart. There are far too many situations where you see Mike Budenholzer act as an observer rather than make the necessary adjustments, and in game 5 it was the missed timeout.
NBA commenttors love to explain this away by saying coaches are “trusting the players to figure it out”, but that’s not what was going on in this series. This was a coach that had no idea how to utilize his timeouts in a late game situation where it was crucial.
The problem with ignoring the single coverage/ 1-on-1 defense on Jimmy Butler is that Budenholzer knew that it was a matchup problem that the Bucks had even before the playoffs.
When the Bucks lost to the Celtics on March 31st, it was clear that the Bucks had an issue defending wing players, and most notably they had too many guys who could be attacked by scorers like Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Jimmy Butler. Too many of the Bucks jump shooters force them in to the same defensive issues.
The bottom line is that the Bucks just weren’t very athletic, and because of that, what was once one of the feared defenses in the league is now giving up 40+ points any time they play against the elite wing players in the Eastern Conference, and the amount of times they just fall apart when facing off-ball screens actions is actually insane.
The Bucks have 3 players that are in the conversation for all-defensive team selections, and the Heat made this look defense look bad by manipulating Brook Lopez’s drop coverage and through utilizing screens which the Bucks defender routinely died behind. Every time they were in possession, they knew where Brook would be and what he would do next because drop coverage had clear and obvious flaws in how much room it allows the ball-handler.
youtube
In game 5 Giannis had one of the worst freethrow shooting performances of his career in a close game where those misses really mattered and that post game press conference by Giannis will go down in history as far as athlete-media interactions are concerned.
The media landscape often chooses to judge people’s trials and tribulations in black and white terms like success or failure, and to be fair that’s what the media is there for.
On the whole Giannis was right in what he said in that presser.
The reality is that a lot of the people that apply that standard to athletes, don’t apply it in their own lives. Same way they expect athletes to be loyal to teams and fans, and yet that same person has zero concept of loyalty in thier own life.
Not at the job, not with thier friends and sometimes even not with thier family members.
So yeah, I’m with Giannis on that one. The reason that people don’t trust the process because they don’t have a process.
They have cheap, easy validation. They have thier idiot co-workers, dummy pack friends that make them feel like their a part of something as they snicker at the failures of others, but without those things, they have no clue of where to direct their energy because they don’t have a process.
I can’t be mad at Giannis for getting chippy with a beat reporter that literally chooses to ask the exact same question every year.
Giannis has to improve, but thus was a wake-call to everyone in the franchise, and in particular General Manager, Jon Horst, who will learn the importance of building a balanced roster, as opposed to getting too many of the same types of players.
Gonna be a long off season in Milwaukee.
