This is absolutely peak Doc Rivers era Bucks basketball. A ton of talent and shotmaking but also just complete **** braindead chaos.

That ball got tipped and Giannis just stood watching. Easy bucket the other way. Can't have your best player be that lazy.

How do you even guard players like Doncic or Reaves? The moment they go up for a shot they're ready to flop their brains out and go to the line.

Luka is so good. I feel so bad for Mavs fans.

I don’t feel comfortable with how the Bucks are playing. Porter is keeping us alive; he is really good. Giannis is out of rhythm and that is a big problem.

Every team in the league not the Lakers: We would have given you waaaaaaaay more for Luka.

Mavs: Nope, the Lakers are the only team we can trade Luka to.

Would love to see more attacking from Dame instead of yeeting up long threes Dame. The Lakers have nobody to deter him out there tonight.

Sloppy. We will need to shoot the 3 well.

All things considered we're up 8. Good half.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Jennings and Redd were my first immediate thoughts, which would confirm that.

Harden’s is pretty normal though

Weird game. Feels we’re running a bit unsustainably hot but then you you across at Luka and shrug.

If we can wake up Giannis we should be sweet.

KPG & Giannis working together to lose the ball 5 times in a single possession . .. and then scramble so s KPJ sinks a 3 . ..

He played the first 7 minutes and then did not play for the next 10. This can easily mess up your rhythm.
KPJ has been amazing though so far.
As has been Lillard's hands. He's had so many steals and deflections tonight.

Giannis has been costing me a couple bucks these last few games...

well.. i mean.. we were complete knuckleheads under Bud as well. it's just never been a high BBIQ roster. not since Ersan and Brogdon were no longer employed.
