Monta Ellis had 24 points on 9 of 21 shooting. The problems for the Bucks are well documented. Their top two leading scorers in Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings hover around 40% shooting. Two of the most inefficient guards playing on the same team can result in disastrous results chemistry wise amongst the rest of the roster. At some point this collapse defensively would happen because it is frustrating playing alongside two high volume low percentage shooters on the floor.
