Milwaukee Bucks: Grades From 86-75 Loss to Dallas Mavericks

G. Milwaukee Bucks. MATTHEW DELLAVEDOVA. D. In 33 minutes of action in this one, Dellavedova was arguably at his worst for the Bucks. He looked tired and many of jump shots suffered because of it. He still had confidence in his shot, which was evident by his seven field goal attempts. He was able to contribute six rebounds and five assists, but his five turnovers more than counteracted those positives. A lot of those turnovers were not just from trying to make a tough pass, but due to poor decision-making both in the half-court and in transition. Also, in non-traditional Delly fashion, he was ineffective on defense. There were occasional defensive possessions that he was on top of things, but his match-up, <a rel=

C-. Snell played the second-most minutes on the team against the Mavericks, but he struggled mightily throughout, most notably on offense. He was mainly kept on the floor for his defense and that was good, but the Bucks needed more scoring, especially if he was to play so many minutes. He was 1-7 from behind the arc and somehow only managed to grab two rebounds and one assist in a remarkable 36 minutes. He showed a little more aggressiveness in attacking the basket here, but it also seemed to be out of control at times. He definitely looked to be pressing the issue, which didn’t really need to happen in such a close game to begin with. Turnovers were a massive struggle for the entire team, and Snell was no different. It will be good for him to get a nice break this week after such a heavy workload.. G. Milwaukee Bucks. TONY SNELL

C-. For most people, the stat-line that Giannis posted in this game would be respectable, but it is not for Antetokounmpo. After picking up three fouls early, Giannis really toned down his aggressiveness. He looked afraid when attacking the basket and was shut down for the majority of the game. Yet again, he turned the ball over too much, but this time he did not make up for it with his passing. He had another solid night rebounding the ball, but that can also be attributed to the fact that there were a whopping 111 missed shots in this game. Also, when he was called upon to take the last shot for the Bucks, he did not play to his strengths. In a tied up game, he stalled for 10 seconds and then took a contested pull-up jumper instead of attacking the basket. Giannis is at his best when he can get into the lane and either finish or look for others to score. In this case, he did neither. Definitely an off-night for the Greek Freak, and the Bucks won’t win many games when he plays like this.. G/F. Milwaukee Bucks. GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO

C. If you were to just look at the box score, you might say that Jabari Parker had a good game. After starting the game 7-9 from the floor, he went on to just shoot 1-7 for the rest of the game. Also, just like Giannis, Jabari was definitely in foul trouble, which directly affected his ability to attack the basket. And, most notably, his defense was abysmal. Again. He was matched up with <a rel=. F. Milwaukee Bucks. JABARI PARKER
