Burn the black uniforms.

The positives, Marvin looks like he's going to be a good fit and dependable contributior and Hill will eventually be back to take some of Bledsoe's minutes.

Too bad the Heat play tonight or we could have paid Jimmy Butler to sit courtside and scare the crap out of TJ Warren.

there's a second key to beating the bucks (other than going insane from 3). Have a wing shoot 15-17 from 2.

also, it strengthen's my plea to improve the top 8 guys in the rotation. Having the best roster for our 11-14th guys doesn't do that much.

The only bad news is you hate to lose to Indianapolis because you own their pick.

The good news is Donte continues to grow, Marvin Williams is an upgrade to Ersan, and get well George. I’m really thinking about the playoffs and the line up I’m liking to end games is Giannis, Middleton, Hill, Donte, and either Lopez or Williams based on match ups.

Any Chance Ersan’s wife can pop out a kids so he misses some upcoming games?

Bled clearly gave the ball up and was expecting to get it back. Would have capped a eight or nine point run to start the third. Just egregious and selfish.

The defense is something to be noted, I didn't see the game but we lost the paint battle, they had 28 to 18 assists.

118 seems high, we gave up 34/34/14/36 by quarter. That seems rather crappy defense.

Is this a 40-45 win team without Giannis?

Our lack of defensive intensity in the 1st half was a big reason we lost this one. The other big reason was that Eric Bledsoe suited up.

If Marvin Williams can get acclimated relatively quickly a Hill/Matthews/Middleton/Williams/Gianni crunch-time lineup sounds like death lineup. Unless I'm grossly overestimating Williams at this point.

That’s definitely the Death line up I imagine Bud will try to get that group a good sample size of minutes before playoffs

I found the problem with Bled.

That's the neva scared, we're going to beat you with Giannis and our basketball IQ lineup. I could see Giannis and Marvin meshing extremely well when they're on the court together.

I'd say 43-45 at most. They'd be a 7 seed. Against the top six there are match-up problems all over the place for a lineup without Gianni.

As incredibly talented and hard working as Gianni is, I don't think he gets enough credit for his considerably on-court IQ. Not purposely singling you out but the "Giannis and high IQ" phrasing reminds me of detractors of his who claim he's all talent and little skill or game IQ.

Speaking of Marvin Williams I didn't catch most of the game, how did he look? I checked highlights but he didn't really show up.

They dicked around a bunch tonight and deserved the L, but this is still a solid group w/o Giannis and probably better than the Pacers with this version of Oladipo. I don’t think 50 wins is unrealistic, especially when you consider Bud’s Hawks.

It's weird and uncomfortable when the Bucks lose. I am sad. Someone hold me?

Maybe, but that Hawks team had prime Horford and prime Korver whereas this team has prime Middleton and AARP Korver. Plus if Oladipo was healthy to start the season and able to gel with the team, they'd still be better.
