I think Kings are an "easy team to read" for the opponents, like it happened against the Bulls they read our offense early on and after a good start we tend to struggle. That "bad 3rd quarter" has happened at least a dozen times this season, also our defense and those corner 3s keep killing us since... 2 years ago. We had some good games defensively with Valanciunas filling the paint with his width but when facing centers that can stretch the floor (Vuc, Brook) there is a big issue since he is slow going outside the paint to guard them. Yesterday White today Giannis caught fire in the 2nd half (3rd quarter) after a "silent" first half.
Bucks missed many open 3s early in the game, but we keep letting them open and of course they started hitting them.
IJ should have played a bit to match Giannis and be a threat with his athleticism in the offense as well. Lyles shots down the stretch were OMG, not even close to making them. LaVine, Deebo are not ball handlers, without Monk there is nobody setting them up in offense and to expect from them to score ISO points the whole time is too much. With Monk the situation doesn't change that much either. LaVine seems to be not in good condition mentally somehow, dont want to speculate like the other time, but he doesn't look good and not getting whistles makes things worse.
Huerter started with 1/12 3s for the Bulls and has 44/110 after (just shown, btw the Bulls are crashing the Lakers)
