This week, we highlight how the Bucks could still salvage this season despite Giannis' injury, why LeBron James is showing no signs of slowing down and Miami's late-game issues are a microcosm of larger problems.
This week's eight things I liked and disliked include the NBA's uncertainty index heading into the playoffs, Miami's crunch-time woes and whyWith eight days until the playoffs, the East is embroiled in two interconnected storylines: When will Antetokounmpo return from a calf injury, and what seed willMilwaukee and Philly could face each other in the No. 2-versus-No. 7 series -- perhaps a best-case scenario for Boston. The rest of the East is in injury-riddled flux.
But head coach Doc Rivers was onto something in trying to clarify the offense by replacing a shooter in Beasley with a fast-twitch ball-mover in Beverley. The Bucks' offense -- their strong half -- had lost some governing structure. But even as they win more close games than the numbers suggest they should, their clutch offense grows more rickety. They seem to forget how time works.-- 18-of-52 in the last five minutes of close games -- waits until there are four seconds on the shot clock to do anything. He then runs a half-speed pick-and-roll across the center court logo.The idea is to take the last shot -- overtime as worst-case scenario.
His post-up numbers are even better, and he has dished dimes on 14% of his post touches -- easily a career high, and 31st among 110 players with at least 20 post touches.What a wonderful player Gordon has become, living out his perfect basketball destiny as a jack-of-all trades in Denver -- the third most important player on a championship team.-- but they might be saving some cards for the playoffs.
James is far from the all-court destroyer he was once on defense, but he's not a liability either. He's huge, fast when he needs to be, always in the right spot. Some ball handlers quake when they see James lurking.
