Mavs are 9-3. They haven't played since Wednesday. Luka is shooting at a career high percentage. I really want to like Luka, great talent. But the non stop crying and whining I can get over.

No idea who's playing for us. I'd be surprised to see Khris out there. He maxed out at 21 minutes Friday night, I can't imagine he'll go B2B.

Go Bucks.

I didn't get my optimistic 4 game win streak, but I'll take 4 out of 5 in this stretch.

I am still feeling optimistic overall on the season, but that is subject to change if we get blown out by Boston on Wednesday....lol.

Boy if Jrue slaps Dame around this place is going to burn to the ground and it's going to be glorious.

Kryie's teardrops could kill us in this one. However here's one where we should win on the boards as they really only have Lively in there rebounding, with Powell coming off the bench now.

Man, that is some trash ass scheduling.

Wondering if we see Giannis on Luka for a bit (before he gets called for 3 fouls obviously)

I get the feeling that vs Boston we're either going to go in there and have a coming out party and stomp them and make a huge statement to the league and wake everyone back up to the fact we have two top 75 players.

Or we're going to get stomped and get a buzz killing reality check.

I don't feel a close competitive 4pt loss type of game or a close 4pt win type of game. We shall see.

starting backcourt 23/41 from 3 last two games

Who is AG putting Malik “Jrue Holiday” Beasley on in this one? Luka or Kyrie?

I've got two extras in 227, Row 2. 75 a piece, OBO. Slide into the DM if interested.

Don't look now but Lopez is now +56 the last two games, and all those Brook is situational, or cooked, or sucks can take their Ls now before they look even worse.

Since Brook went to drop, Bucks DRTG has been 8th in the league over that span. Brook is, and always has been the guy who has made this defense elite even if Giannis and Jrue got more fan fare. Put some respect on his name.

Yep. Interesting discussion on one of the pods yesterday about how teams that can’t be in the top 15 in defense are complete frauds as contenders. Bucks have to get that D back in the top ten.

lol, seems they moved that bar just for Denver last year.

Scheduled L I'd be shocked if we held them under 130.

Luka is going to obliterate this defense.

Nothing to get excited about beating two bad teams. Let's see the defense tonight to see if there has been any progress.

Will we see Thanasis on Luka tonight? I think we will. Also, I assume AJJ gets the start with Khris likely out and he gets the first turn on Luka.

Regular season rank means so little now. Come playoff time, we'll see plenty of Giannis at center. That continues to be our best defense, but in the new offensive system, it will also prove to be our best offense.

When Coach Sid is consulted on if the replay challenge should be utilized, that is something that I call the Dobs Decision. Feel free to use, no big deal.

2 bad teams missing key players. However, execution and communication has shown signs of improvement for a few games now.

I love Dre as much as anyone here and would already start him with Dame/Midds/GA/Brook and feed him 25 mpg but he’s going to foul out in the first five minutes of this game if they put him on Luka.
