PG: Bucks Hammer Hornets

[machu46]

Wow this postgame thread has blown up.

My confidence was waning after the Nets game but I think we may have one of the greatest teams ever right here.

Who knows where the games goes without the ticked off Giannis sequence. Felt like a lot of frustrations over how we've been playing exploded out of him and he took it out on the officials and Plumlee.

The offense was humming but it was the defensive pressure and intensity from the new guys that made the difference. It's a big if but if we can get anything on offense from Carter and Bembry we'll be a tough out. We definitely need something from them on that end though.

Really don't need anything from Carter or Bembry offensively. PJ was a zero on offense.

Agree, and I like that Bembry can finish at the rim, so he can be useful when rotating into the dunker spot.

Bembry has been called for a few bumps that are no calls in the playoffs.

I love when Giannis destroys young upstarts like Bridges and reminds them he's the boss. Those blocks were great.

Game threads get a lot more action when we lose than when we win.

Solid win, the rest of the week is tough

PG threads too. Nets, 5 pages in the first hour. Hornets win, 1/2 page first hour.

Your not wrong in general but expectations need to be factored in. We beat a hornets team at home that has been awful for the last month. We lost to a awful Nets team at home with everyone rested and big three healthy. One should happen and the other shouldn't. Not saying us beating the Heat without Giannis would have as many pages but you aren't exactly comparing apples to apples.

The Hornets decision to select Kai Jones as their developmental center in round 1 over Isaiah Jackson is going to haunt them for a long time.

Good win, Hornets have always been a tough game recently, beat us b2b not too long ago.

So do I. The narrative around here that the Bucks are old, slow, and uncompetitive against teams with young legs will be proven false over the next couple of weeks and into the playoffs. The Bucks' big three are 27, 30, and 31 years old. Not quite ready for the rocking chair.

One good game is not clear evidence of switch-flipping. But what we'll see as the playoffs approach are reminders that this is a team with proven chemistry and well-understood, well-defined roles, which gives them a big advantage over teams such as Philly or Brooklyn still working on the formula for success.

Oh, and we have the best player in the world, which helps.

Shout out to the new guys Delly and Childress.

Pissed off Giannis is good, Thannies needs to stop doing the fat/skinny kid t-shirt thing. Seems an odd choice for one of the most jacked guys out there. The ****?

Great former Buck and shoulda been a Buck comps

Loved the energy from Jevon and Bembry

Feels like it's been awhile since we've seen that off the bench

Good to see Bucks tighten up the ship and get a win

A couple more this week vs Heat and Bulls would be great to get some momentum

Bucks wins are apparently bad for Realgm ratings.

[aboveAverage]

Great win. Love this team. Go bucks!

[Iheartfootball]

Uh, I was under the impression that the Bucks wouldn't win another regular-season game. WTH?

First time in what feels like forever that montrezl Harrell doesn't have a career game against us
