PG: Bucks Overcome 8 on 5 for 8th Straight Win

[MickeyDavis]

Charlotte board thinks they got screwed by the refs. Perspective I guess.

[IrishRainbow]

Is it just me or do the Bucks NEVER take advantage of being in the bonus early. Maybe it’s just their nature, but I’d guess they’re pretty far down the totem pole with regards to FT attempted while in crunch minutes. I mean, they were up 2-3 late and it seemed like they had zero inclination to facilitate drawn fouls. I would think Midds could make some real hay if he works that KD arm sweep in those situations. Good win. Thought it could’ve been less in doubt.

Big thing for Boogie is he didn't look out of place in his first game back. Playing that Charlotte team first up is a pretty tough hit out. Really looking forward to him battling out against bigger/slower teams.

So Giannis with a game winner.


Let's replay every media head who said you can't trust Giannis to be your best player because...."When the game is on the line Giannis can't take the last shot, he has no jumper."

This team would be unstoppable for real if Jrue and Khris could get to the line. It’s an underrated problem for this team that Giannis is the only one who gets to the line especially with his problems there.

We also weren’t getting **** for call. Giannis should have had 4 more FT. I agree Jrue could have tried to draw more contact.

"Yeah, but it wouldn't work in the playoffs because teams are going to build a wall."

I just mean overall, not this game. Jrue and Khris get around 5-6 ft a game combined while Giannis is at 10 by himself. I know it’s probably too late for them to add to their games because it’s a lot to do with reputation and it’s a skill but I wish they were able to take advantage of being in the bonus when teams have to hack Giannis.

Also


Durant averaged 8.4 points per 4th quarter in the last playoffs on 60.2 TS%.
Giannis averaged 8.2 points per 4th quarter in the last playoffs on 64.8 TS% and he did it for two more series than KD.

Yeah but because Giannis does it in the paint it's not as good or something. Anyway, I think all that talk ended with game 6.

[skones]

Really don’t want to see Charlotte in the postseason

I agree, sweeps are boring.

[skones]

what are we going to do with brook when he comes back. can't bench The Boogie and The Bobby

Brook and Boogie are probably both 20 minute guys. It'd work out if Boogie works out. Promising first game.

Sips tea.

[skones]

Boogie will be excellent for us, and what we ask, all. Season. Long.

[aboveAverage]

First, holy crap guys but Charlotte is really good. That’s an exciting young squad they’re building there. Wouldn’t surprise me at all to see them make an Atlanta-like run in the playoffs this year. Especially if they can somehow get a big. LaMelo is special.

On to the Bucks: great resiliency on a really tough night. We got punched in the mouth and still kept our composure and executed when it mattered. The playoffs really battle-tested this team. They don’t fold under pressure anymore.

Giannis was incredible. And that play by Bud at the end of the game was genius!! Give him credit there.

Fitting that Charlotte almost wins on a prayer half court three. What a crazy game.

[rilamann]

Cousins coming in fresh off the street and looking like a legit and solid rotation player for us is kind of a big development. Cousins' passing ability and ability to hit an open 3 is going to make him a great fit for us. You could see it tonight right off the bat and I loved the clutch 3 in the 4th quarter. Not bad at all for a guy who just joined the team a couple days ago and hadn't stepped on an NBA court in almost 6 months.

[RiotPunch]

Big men have a tendency to look really good against this Hornet team, but Boogie looked like Boogie to me. Was moving around way better than I expected, and he'll never lose his BBIQ as a passer/shooter, or his ability to be big/long AF on D.

[DrWood]

Also, whoever said Cousins has low bbiq... He doesn't.

the only person who would say that is someone with a low bbiq.

[DrWood]

per 100 is per 100 possessions, not per 100 minutes.
