No they won't. The reality is basically nobody nationally, even the biggest diehards, don't regularly watch the Bucks. It's going to take probably the entire rest of the season of us playing much better AND then the conversation just will shift "can Doc Rivers not choke in the playoffs?". And for as much crap as Doc gets, he has had to coach maybe the all time team of players who shrink in big moments. CP3, Harden, Embiid? Some of the best players ever who all routinely poop their pants in the post season. Doc is flawed in some ways, and has coached a lot of talent, but his chokes have all come with guys who are all time pants poopers.

But this was the most entertaining game of the year. Every other game was actually stressful to watch because of how dumb we were.

Best game of the year. D was much better, Had a couple of lapses late in the 4th on d but overall a step up in the right direction. Still could use a on ball defender so Beas or Dame dont have cover them late in the game.

Preparations for a trade? Or integrate Crowder and settle into a playoff-like rotation?

However bad Griff was on the court, he had to have been even worse in the locker room. My lord, they were actually dancing during warmups and looked obviously relieved throughout the game. Hopefully, Giannis has learned a lesson.

I felt like this was the easiest bet of the year in the NBA. Got a little scary though.

Good to see them having fun.
