Interested to see how Drummond does today against Larry Sanders.
Lot of good matchups in this Bucks vs Pistons game. Monroe vs Jabari. Neither guy should be able to defend the other. Josh Smith vs Giannis. Mayo vs KCP. Knight should have a big game against the defense-less DJ Augustin. Nice advantage for Milwaukee at both backcourt positions.
I think Drummond should be able to use his girth / strength to good effect against Sanders. Sanders is a top team defender but his man-to-man defense in the paint is vulnerable. It'll be interesting to see how far along Drummond's post game is coming against such a defender.
- Drummond had a nice alley-oop off a baseline inbounds pass a moment ago where he pushed Sanders deep into the paint to create the opportunity for the pass.
- Drummond has beaten Sanders in transition twice for easy baskets
- Sanders has beaten Drummond twice on offensive glass for putbacks.
- Jabari Parker with a beautiful crossover to lose Smith but blocked on drive by Drummond.
- 3rd off reb for Sanders as Drummond help's on Giannis drive. Giannis physically overwhelmed Caron Butler I think it was on that possession. No way Butler can keep up with an athlete like Giannis. Milwaukee need to go back to that matchup. Two possessions later, Giannis beats Butler easily again for short shot off dribble.
- Drummond seals Sanders well, receives pass after ball reversal, easy score. Gets a lob pass off dribble penetration and another easy score on next possession.
Neither team's bench units are up too much good. A lot of mediocre basketball in 2nd quarter.
- Jabari is a really smooth operator on offense. Needs more touches.
- Drummond panics late in shot clock. Tries to create off dribble from FT line. Offensive foul.
- I love Singler's game. Such a dependable pro.
