What makes the Rollins and Anthony duo really special is how it's trickling down to the rest of the team.
Undrafted free agent Mark Sears presses up after a Bucks make to force the steal and get an And-1 to tie the game.
When you get young guys learning from them, that changes everything:

If you're a defensive sicko like me, you'll love the mentality from Rollins and Anthony here.
Both of them press up on the OKC ball handlers after a Bucks make.
Rollins then uses his long arms to poke the ball away from Casen Wallace, leading to a wide open layup against the defending champs:

After a rough miss from a Kuzma floater, Rollins uses his size to wall off Williams here and force the ball three.
While the chance is spoiled by Kuzma charging into Collins, it's an extra possession generated by the havoc these two bring on the defensive end:

Moving to the defensive side of the ball, this was a terrible pass by Duncan Robinson, but a great move by Anthony.
He goes for a swim move when the pass is over thrown, gets the ball, and drives in for the layup.
This play is even possible because of Rollins denial of the first option:

This play reminded me of times when Rollins played with Damian Lillard.
The lead ball handler (this time Anthony), finds Rollins at mid-court, and Rollins uses his speed and length to get a layup in transition.
Doc also talked about this pairing allowing Rollins to play down hill more:

Great court awareness from Rollins and Anthony together. Anthony again has the ball here in pick and roll with a big.
Kuzma moves out of the dunkers spot to the corner, and with Rollins recognizing that, he sets a screen on Patrick Williams, forcing Tre Jones to contest.
The result? Cash money:

This is a similar type of play, where Anthony drives into the paint off a screen from a big (this time its Myles Turner), where it draws two defenders to the paint.
Rollins gets this look again, but buries it this go around. Expect this more often from the 40% three point shooter:

Doc talked with Tim Legler about how he wants a lot of his plays to have multiple actions, and this is a great showcase of that.
Anthony gets the ball after Sims can't get it to Coffey on the hand-off. The roll from Sims draws the help side defense, leading to a wide open Rollins 3:

This shows how much chemistry the two have, as Rollins is in-bounding the ball. Rollins recognizes the great cut that Anthony makes to get open, leading to a mini-fastbreak where Anthony throws a long pass.
Coffey nails the three, and it helped the Bucks regain the lead late in the 1st:

This was just masterful work by Anthony to keep his balance and find the open AJ Green for one of his 5 threes he made against the Pistons last week.
Doc talked all offseason about how Anthony can run the offense off the bench, and here he’s doing a great job of making something out of nothing:
