Yeah I saw that too, they were 100% right that the Bucks should have been up +20 at half time. Then played way too much 1-on-1 in second half although sometimes this was to correctly attack Blake Griffin (who they played off the court) and Harden.

TNT's point was Shaq had a 2nd in Kobe and then Wade. I wouldn't exactly call either Middleton or Holiday equivalent, even combined. The Bucks problem is Giannis is their best scoring option, but under 2 minutes he cannot always create his own shot. Sure Holiday or Middleton can make free throws, but neither is an All-NBA multi-dimensional offensive player that can equally score or assist. To wit Middleton's rushed pass to Giannis though a good play was unexpected. We are comparing the combined very good ability of the Bucks 3 to the excellence of who they are playing in this series: Durant > Bucks 3, Irving > Bucks 3, IF/When Healthy Harden > Bucks 3. Against 75% of teams in league Bucks are fine, but this again is their fatal flaw in the playoffs against elite players & their teams.
