The Bucks can defend again. Huge.

Happy that we stepped up our D and proved me wrong!

Nice to see Brook have something going on offence again. Was also a game high +21

Everyone has bad games. Hopefully he bounces back Tuesday.

Give Prince all of his minutes & it might be a loss.

I'm honestly not sure. Their perimeter defense is a nightmare, but their lack of size in the front court also balances it out imo. In the one healthy matchup we had last season with them, the Bucks wiped them off the court because of it.

He badly needed those 3 days off.

Enjoy the drive back to Alpharetta, losers.

Tough to win a game in which Middleton, Trent, and AJ Green have crap games.

Does it count for anything other than prize money? If no then let the young dudes play and earn that bonus. Get in there, Robbins!

Can’t inbound the ball, call timeout, throw the ball away, get a rebound and pickup dribble in the corner and call timeout again. Don’t know how anyone can have confidence in this team winning big games down the stretch.

I genuinely see this as a good thing. I think he's really rusty in those sorts of situations, and to be honest he's rarely had to work through late game pressure plays with Giannis and Dame both actually on the court.

It's taking time for Dame and Giannis to work things out, maybe it'll take a bit for Mids too.

It's actually strangely optimistic that we could beat a really good team in a big game while playing like crap for the most part.

I'm not a Dame guy but I have to give him props after coming up big down the stretch.

emunney · Post #36 » by **emunney** » Sun Dec 15, 2024 12:16 am

That Giannis block was great, of course, but that's a routine play for him. Came over from the weak side with momentum. There's absolutely no way Capela's dunking that, only question is whether or not there's a whistle.

Because they did?

Really nice win against an infuriating opponent. I thought we played maybe the best defense all year. Especially with such a garbage whistle.

MiltownMadness · Post #39 » by **MiltownMadness** » Sun Dec 15, 2024 12:17 am

I'm not sure what more the Dame detractors want, he is an absurdly positive player and deserves an allstar spot

Who had better weak side help, Dame or Giannis?

After a horrible 0-5 start Dame was a nice 8-16 for 25/6/7 and 3 steals.

Fantastic defense down the stretch by the whole team.

Love when Giannis gets the ball on the block and just spins and attacks, unstoppable. Now just stop the slow plodding backing them down etc. Catch and attack.

Also love when Brook rolls to the basket in pnr instead of just popping out. Such a huge human and someone who was known primarily for his offense before the Bucks has to be a bigger weapon in the paint.

Don't have high hopes for the final if it's OKC, but let's see.
