I don't see Giannis missing today's game. He always seems to get up for us andnfeast on our defense. We don't have anyone who can really stay with him but neither does anyone else.

Jokic needs to play smart and not get into foul trouble. Eubanks is just six fouls. Do we see any real time for Thaddeus Young?

Giannis is oficially OUT.

He was on the court doing everything before the game as a GTD but he experienced some soreness, so he can't play today.

That certainly bodes well for us then, so we'd be smart to make advantage of any opportunities that might present themselves because of it.

I expect Booker to finally step up in a big game against a top opponent. The whole country is watching the game. Super max player.

edit. Ah Giannis out so Booker surely succeeds

Another team with 5-out offense, we need to make better closeouts. 4 triples already.

Same old concerns hurting us already: Three point defense. The Bucks are hot and loaded with shooters from the perimeter. If our shots start missing and we get lazy on the defensive end, this could get ugly quickly just like the games against BOS.

Although I'd like to see Giannis and beat them with him, this bodes well for us in the standings, if we can beat them of course.

Seems like the only person willing to challenge Lopez inside is Nurkic.

Nice quit on the defensive end by Eubanks. Good Lord, he's awful.

Eubanks and Gordon out there. What is Vogel even doing? We're getting straight cooked outside.

Looks like it's not stopping there.

On another note...

LOOK AT ALL THAT STANDING AROUND WATCHING. Literally NO offensive movement whatsoever.
