To boot Giannis got hurt during this game to make him sheepish about going to the basket & battle for boards.

This is naturally going to cause a lot of issues, that could resolve in the near-term.

What happened to Giannis?
I think he jammed his finger. Honestly just waive the flag. The way they're playing there's no way they're coming back.

At least he got rid of the dumb phantom shot. But his hitch is so damn noticeable and he looks backward in the release. He's approaching Dwight Howard territory and it's embarrassing.

He looked like he hurt his hand on the missed outback dunk but he has not looked the same since the illness. The Bucks are just blessed that his 85% is still an all star level player

I think it was the attempt a violent tip dunk where he hurt his finger/hand, but it could be something else, as to why he wasn't going for boards, & attacking the rim hard/finishing, when I was last watching.

I know it's not the reason we're losing but Brunson's whistle is ridiculous.
This is prime Harden levels.

This team needs a pretty hard refresh on the fly before guys like Middleton, Dame and Lopez turn into utter albatross contracts.

I fixed it for you.

Lillard's passing has led to i don't know how many points on turnovers as well.

I doubt Horst will make any huge mid-season trade on the fly, so I'm guessing this off-season is where the refresh happens. Bucks have no chance of beating Boston, Cleveland or probably NY in a playoff series. Unless Horst wants to torpedo the remainder of Gianni's peak years major changes will have to be made.
