PG: Bucks Pound Nets

Not disrespect the the youngster, but if my parents, in their infinite wisdom, named me David Duke, I’d be straight down to the courthouse to change that on my 18th birthday.

Remember when posters here were scared of the Nets getting Patty Mills? The Bucks simply put a tall guy on him to shoot over, and he was reduced to useless.

The Nets look a lot like the early season hospital Bucks where nobody could rebound or protect the rim besides Giannis. No matter how many points Durant and Harden score they can't protect a lead because they give up a lot of second chance points and the only way for them to protect the rim is to put 4 guys inside the paint and give up both corners for wide open 3s. Bigs and good passers will keep destroying them just like Giannis and Bobby did tonight.

I actually love that this David Duke said " Why should I change my name, I'm not the David Duke that's sucks?"

If I were black I’d keep it to spite the man.

Considering what that family's gone through in their lives, that really doesn't matter.

Nice to be a little emotionally invested into a Bucks game. KD is 33 and to me seems a little slow. He's going to need every bit of Harden and Kryie to beat us.

I love the fact that this Bucks team has that switch.

Can't wait for the playoffs!

This game just tells me that they really aren't trying in all these losses where a few people are out. Play the nets and suddenly they care enough to blow them out.

Great win, I was hoping playing better teams would bring a little more energy out of them. Just about everybody outside of the garbage time guys played great.

I remember the revisionist history that was actually that people wanted Mills on the cheap contract that he ended up getting as he'd be an excellent complement to Giannis?

Its like with our D last year. We spent so much of the year experimenting. This year looks similar on both ends.

This rules. I really hope Ham is with another team next season.

Put a short guy on the floor with Giannis who can't defend just because he can shoot? Didn't we waste way too many of Giannis minutes doing that last year?

The Bucks are so much better off with George Hill, and for less money.

Semi was successful in his minutes defending Durrant. He's got to get his own offense going, but it's a glimmer of hope.

How many games will Harden play for the Nets in 2027 when he’s making 60 million a year?

Every time I watch him play I can never recall a player lets less aesthetically pleasing to watch than James Harden. Dude is an absolute chore.

I reckon Giannis would be happy to play with a 43% 3 point shooter who is hitting more than 3 a game, but that's just me.

Let's also not pretend he didn't play a season with a worse Mills in Forbes, either. I guess he isn't tall.

Giannis in the post-game said Durant is the best player in the world. I'm just trying to get better.

How lucky are we that he's playing for the Bucks?

I think its his version of a canned answer. He seemed disinterested in the baiting. Of course he respects Durant but he's trying to stay hungry. He's special.
