During and after the Suns’ Game Two 118-108 win, many of the commentators asserted that the Bucks lost because they didn’t make defensive adjustments after the Suns’ guards had torched them. During the ABC halftime show, Jason Williams said that the Bucks “lack of adjustments has been embarrassing. Embarrassing.” I disagree strongly. Strongly.
In Game One, the Bucks switched all screens, sometimes switching even before a screen had been set. As a result, Bucks big men Robin Lopez and Bobby Portis often found themselves having to defend Chris Paul or Devin Booker in open space. That went about as well as one would expect.
