Going to be hard to match what he did last game for sure.

Just want to see quality, assertive Cade again. Everyone can feed off him that way.

We just need enough wins to keep our spirits up. This isn’t one of them.

Really not feeling all these back to backs against the same team. Already had Atlanta x2, Bucks x2, we've got several more coming up where we play a team twice in a couple days.

Yes, what's up with these back to backs against the same team in the same town, is the NBA trying to cut back on travel or something?

That's exact what they're doing. The idea there being it reduces "load management" for "superstars"

Does SGA kinda remind you of Cade when you watch him play?

I kinda like the back-to-backs... You get to know a team better the second time around, and see what adjustments they make.

I agree its always interesting to see what adjustments a coach/team makes when playing playoff basketball... and now you get a little of that in the regular season.

Duren out again. Supposedly swelling is down, but they will just rest him until Friday.

Yep. And from what I heard the players like it.

Five offensive rebounds for the Bucks in the first four minutes.

Stew has been doing great and causing misses in the paint but then the rest of the team isn't securing the rebound after Stew causes the miss.

Going to need a big night from Bojan to keep this one close.

Ivey goes to the bucket so fast at full speed he needs to start slowing down on that last step to the basket to try and have better body control going up to the basket. He's has zero problem blowing by everyone but he is almost out of control he's moving so fast he can't get his body right going up to the basket.

That Ivey drive/dish to Killian was beautiful

Diallo guarding Giannis...come on, man

Giannis isn't fair

He's got no chance at all... we should really just have Stewart's minutes mirror Giannis' minutes tonight.

Going to be a long game if Giannis gets a whistle everytime he touches the ball.

Ivey I feel like is the guy most suited on our team to play with 4 other guys that can all catch and shoot. Once he gets to the point where he can finish well enough one on one that you have to send help every time he's going to create a ton of open threes for teammates.

Yeah, Giannis turned and dunked over Diallo like he wasn't even there
