im not sure we have another gear that other good teams dont have in the playoffs too.

i think were just a really good shootout team which will be a fun regular season bunch if we embrace it. playoffs will be another story but if we lose there it wont be for any similar reason to the past. we will just have to outshoot teams and hopefully stay hot in the big ones

All contenders without their 2 stars would be .500. Or worse.

And yes blew us out before and now we beat them by 11. That's a good thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Great game by Payne.

On to the knockout round with the Knicks!

And only 2 FT. Welcome to the Milwaukee whistle.

Giannis should always have a triple double. He has shooters around him now so there shouldn't be any excuse.

I'm really starting to like to like Beas, a lot.

Bucks always doing things the hard way as usual. Its funny, under Bud it was close games because of anemic offense, and relying on D. Under Griffin its pure offense with no D. Although the D seems to get better in crunch time.

Yeah, knocked to floor like 5 times. Attempt 2 free throws.

Welcome to Milwaukee.

I really want the Bucks to play better teams so we can tell if this clutch time stuff is real & we just don't give a crap for the first 45 min or if the fact that we struggle most of the game against mediocre/bad teams is cause we aren't that good. Both seem legitimately possible

quite honestly, i'm encouraged by the way we are playing. we have proven time and again that we can put the clamps on late. we are obviously an elite offense when we choose to run plays (which lately has been early and late). take out all the riff raff players and put in our best 8 guys playing high minutes and i actually think we are set up very well for playoff success.

now, if we play exactly like this in the playoffs, it will be hard. but i'm assuming the intensity will be higher on a more consistent basis when the games matter more.

Finally nice to see a consistent outside shooter for the Bucks that can be relied upon. 44% from 3 is damn good and he hits shots in crunchtime.

also, i'm going to back off Beasley for a while. he's really good in this offense and seems to be a great culture fit. i'm sure i'll get annoyed at watching him try and play defense against good teams but for now i'm going to enjoy watching him thrash bad defenses.

Knicks and Indy/Boston to start the week. Good tests.

its hard not to like the guy.

great effort taking on assignments, hands not sticky at all, hardly ever takes a bad shot and a killer when he does.

mfer has been glorious for us

cam about the same. those two with bobby and pat and the big 4 are a legit playoff 8 if we manage to get there

Knicks game should be a good test. Sounds like the players really want to win so it will be a playoff atmosphere.

Just wish he’d at least pretend to get back on defense

i think our defense is like a trap. we lay it for 45 minutes and then we spring it the last 3 :lol:

yeah, i dont foresee him playing deep into the playoffs but he can be our battery powered flame thrower until then
