Let me reassure you:

Don't worry about Giannis. He's the best player in the league.

I'm fine with him shooting as much as he wants. His 3P% has been in the mid 30's for three straight seasons heading into this year so odds are he will come around at some point. I'll trust three years of data over half a season.

Lopez has sneakily been in a shooting funk for awhile now. Would love to know if him taking so many deep threes has hurt him there?

I wouldn’t call it sneaky. I’m at the point where I internally say “oh f*ck” every time I see him gather to shoot. Maybe running some post up offense for him will get his confidence up. All I know is him not having to be guarded on the perimeter come playoff time is not ideal.

Better question: Will the Bucks lose 6 more?

The East is a wrap barring injury.

I think putting him in the corner will help his numbers immensely. Quite a bit closer and he can work some side PnR action.

Would like to see some post offense run for Brolo to get his confidence up as well. I feel like dude just needs a couple good offensive games in a row. Great to see both Midds and Bled show up when Giannis isn't up to par. Rest Giannis ffs.

We do have the second hardest schedule in the east the rest of the way while Miami has like the easiest.

For some perspective. If we go 31-10 in our final 41 games, Miami would have to go 37-4 in their final 41 to pass us, and that's assuming Miami wins their next 3 games to be 30-11 after 41 games played. If we go 31-10 in our final 41, the Sixers would have to go 40-1 in their final 41 games to pass us. Anything can happen and nothing is locked up in January obviously, but we have a pretty strong hold on the #1 seed in the East.

Big Planet Pat fan but he sure does go through a lot of frigid climate change. A few last night were halfway down before they popped out but 29.5% from distance for the year is pretty rough.

Middleton was very good last night. I know some only show up to blast him
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

He had a similarly slow start last year shooting just 28.8% pre-all star break before hitting 38.2% after the break. Hopefully he can do the same this year.

He's definitely taken a big step forward this year. Exactly what the team needed to happen with the loss of Malcolm. He's tenacious on D and the athleticism he's showing on offense is impressive.

You can also tell he's one of Bud's favorites.
We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees.

It was. He showed he is a pro. Be ready, and he was.
