ranks last in the league in offensive rebounding, an area where the Bucks have been regularly hammered in recent weeks. Kidd not surprisingly made the team's defensive effort a major emphasis during the Bucks' off-day practices this week, and the Clips figure to be a stiff test of whether or not they fixed anything. Though Jason Kidd has seen his offense make major strides since the season's first two weeks, Milwaukee's defense has mostly gone in the tank. leads the league in shooting percentage at the rim (65.7%), they're overall near the bottom in points scored in the restricted area.īucks' defense. But while those two make it no surprise that L.A.
That's important since they curiously rank dead last in attempts inside three feet, a rather weird stat for a team that features league dunk leader DeAndre Jordan (64) and that Griffin guy (28). Mayo are the only Bucks in that category. Redick, Jamal Crawford, Matt Barnes and Jordan Farmar all average at least one triple per game - for what it's worth, Brandon Knight and O.J. The good news is that the Clips can still shoot the lights out, ranking among the league's top five in three point attempts, makes and accuracy.
Chris paul stats vs bucks free#
The upside is that he's fairly dangerous from out there (39%), though it's probably not a coincidence that his free throw rate and dunks are career-lows (but still fantastic, mind you). Thus far 37% of Griffin's shot attempts have been long twos, up from a previous career-high of 27% last season. Chris Paul is as good as ever (18.0 ppg, 9.9 apg, 61.2% true shooting, 26.4 PER), while Blake Griffin continues to put up Blake Griffin numbers (23.2 ppg, 56% true shooting) despite relying more than ever on his jumper. is fundamentally built around their high-octane (and third-ranked) offense.

But rest doesn't always translate into sharpness, something the Bucks will need plenty of against one of the West's obvious title contenders.Ĭlips' offense. Neither will the Bucks, who figure to be fresh physically. The Clippers were lethargic early and spent most of the game down double digits, so they won't be lacking in motivation on the second night of their back-to-back. But L.A.'s streaking ways took a hit in Washington on Friday night thanks to John Wall, Bradley Beal and company, who raced to an early lead and never looked back in a 104-96 win.
The 16-6 Clippers finish up a three-game Eastern road trip in Milwaukee on Saturday night, a trip that began in Indiana on Wednesday with a 103-96 win - the Clippers ninth win in a row. As for a Saturday night matchup with Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and the mighty Los Angeles Clippers? Well, that part they could have probably done without. A return flight home and three days off figured to be exactly what the Milwaukee Bucks needed after back-to-back road losses in Dallas and Oklahoma City.
