Holiday isn't an overrated defender. He's one of the best one on one defenders in the game and off ball as a team defender is excellent.
This thread is about the Bucks being dumb and that applies with Giannis in there too.
I've never seen a championship caliber team play like a lottery team one game and then look all-world the next like this. Budenholzer is a huge problem.
In context of claims that Jrue is the best defensive guard in the league - he’s grossly overrated. When you’re getting cooked by Butler & Duncan Robinson & both are shooting at over 70% clip with you as the primary defender - that’s being overrated.
Yes, he does have those flashy highlight-reel defensive plays but when you watch Bucks’ games - you’d see how much of a ghost he’s against players he doesn’t have size advantage over.
Bud is a retarded coach who’s allergic to any type of adjustments & that has already been established for the past 5 years. And it’s the same story with the team every year when it comes to defensive scheme & guarding the 3.
However, the team is also badly constructed. When you rely heavily on shooting 3s & Giannis/Middleton are your best ball handlers - you’ll always look like trash when the 3s aren’t falling. So, why does Jrue have the ‘PG’ tag when he’s an average ball handler, prone to making terrible decisions, prone to bad shot selection & can’t make simple lob/entry pass?
Without Giannis, the team is hot garbage offensively & defensively when 3s aren’t falling. I hope they lose the series so they can get rid of racist Bud/Horst & all the bum arse cacs on the team. They need to get a PG like Tyus Jones & find a big 3 & D wing.
