Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways In Loss To Dallas Mavericks

Going Down Under

Of course, the Bucks as a whole were the biggest ones to suffer with Giannis’ foul trouble and the effects it had on the game as it went on.  But on an individual basis, the player who was most affected by Giannis’ foul situation was Matthew Dellavedova.

With an increased workload starting shortly after the opening tip, Delly struggled to make an impact offensively for the majority of his 33 minutes.

It was a stark turn from how Delly started the game. His only points for the game came shortly after Giannis picked up his second foul, thanks to his patented floater. Not long after, Delly found his first four assists for the night, which were all made in the first six minutes of the game.

Slowly but surely, though, Dellavedova’s effectiveness wore off and the mistakes started to pile up for the 26-year old Australian.  When it was all said and done, Delly finished with five turnovers and a team-worst -21 plus-minus.

We’ve only seen Delly in a Bucks uniform a handful of games now, but this was by far his most forgettable effort of the bunch. All that he can do now is just move on to the next one.
