That was definitely a factor, but I noticed that Butler’s guards made a concerted effort to use their size against Budd to get buckets in the lane or draw fouls against him or our front court.Budd was actually hurt. He was not moving as fluid as usual. The fouls in this game for Budd aren’t to be looked at in the same light
You can’t have your PG in foul trouble in game after game. It’s no recipe for a post season appearanceI know I’m going to be in the minority here, but I don’t want Budd holding back for fear of foul trouble. We have other guards who can play a few extra mins if need be. Budd’s on ball defense is a huge reason why we wear teams down. I’ll live with the foul trouble.
Yeah that’s not new, but Budd was a step behind them on every drive as a result of not being able to move anywhere near his usualThat was definitely a factor, but I noticed that Butler’s guards made a concerted effort to use their size against Budd to get buckets in the lane or draw fouls against him or our front court.
That was most concerning to me.
He's 24% for the year and 23% for his career on threes.Why does he refuse to shoot 3’s. What happened there? He wasn’t great, but he wasn’t terrible either. It’s deliberate now, he’s getting multiple wide open looks and hesitating then passing or driving.
He has attempted 3 during BE play. You have to at least try and keep the defense honest when they disrespect your shot as much as they do.He's 24% for the year and 23% for his career on threes.
Does that sound like a guy that should be shooting more of them?
4-33 from 3 in the last 2 games. Budd taking an occasional three is gonna, what, hurt us?He's 24% for the year and 23% for his career on threes.

Has to do something. Never attempting them makes it pretty easy on the defense. Especially if they’re in zoneHe's 24% for the year and 23% for his career on threes.

He played exactly the same he does in every game. Banged up or not. Stop the excuses. He’s disappointed overall. Solid yes, good in certain aspects yes, disappointing yesThought being banged up was his issue today. He wasn't in foul trouble for most of the game. Has to stay from that one clumsy foul he gets once a game.
