They played the Clippers super late 2 years ago at home, iirc.

At least that helps Clippers fans living on PST. Spurs and Bucks are both at CST.

Yeah man that sucks either way but saying it's because of injuries is much worse imo.

Agreed. His ankle(s) still aren't right. :nonono:

Does that mean Middleton is starting?

No Doc has already stated that he's not starting.

I love that "He needs to play less" means "He's not starting, because I'm too dumb to manage his minutes otherwise."

They want more consistency in the starting lineup. Having to manage his minutes, especially with his upcoming games missed, is easier done off the bench.

Those 3 guys need to figure it out. Nothing else matters this season. Forcing them to play *less* together makes no sense what so ever.

I wouldn't call it "forcing". Middleton's ankles are bothering him. They still aren't right. He has pain. The hope is by limiting him now he'll be available in April. It may or may not work. But it's his ankles that are doing the forcing.

If your sanity was tied to Bucks winning you'd be in an asylum by now

Guy in the ESPN studio said Giannis only had 11 points last game..."can he turn it around" tonight? I mean, did you only look at his points from last game?
