We'll probably have to score at least 115 points to have a chance of winning

Higher chance of winning is to outscore them. Haha

Thanks for the game thread Knightbro. Hopefully Ducler is gone.
Anyways Bucks are playing at another level right now. It's going to be ugly, unless everyone is clicking from the starters to the bench.

Why previous meetings = none? We played them this season already and got demolished w/ Vuc.

They have won 13 in a row or something and just destroyed a team with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George who are both far better than anyone on our roster. Strap in fellas. A win would be incredible, and probably a fluke. But would be something nonetheless. Just not anything.

My expectations for this game? I'm pretty sure we gonna see Amile Jefferson, Melvin Frazier & Magette the whole 4th quarter :lol:

Btw Bucks are:
1st in Def. Rating
2nd in Off. Rating
1st in SRS
1st in PPG
1st in RPG
1st in Net Rating
2nd in Fast Break Points
1st in eFG%
2nd in Opp eFG%
2nd in FG%
1st 2P%
1st in Opp FG%
1st in Opp 2P%
4th in Points in the Paint
5th in FTA
1st in Pace

They are on pace to a top 3 regular season of all time, while having the hardest schedule in the leaque & Middleton missing half the games & currently on a 14 game winning streak.

29th in FT%

We should foul on every possession :lol:

During a massive scoring slump. People like to omit that. I’m sure by accident though. They’re going focus on Evan and make AG try and beat them.

You can score 110 points to Bucks and lose by 25...

Trap game for Milwaukee magic by 20

Just stop them from scoring and rebounding as they are the NBA leaders and we should be good.

Well, Clippers scored 124, Hawks 127 and Blazers 129, but they all lost.

I believe is 115 is too low, increase it 130 at least.

This would be a ridiculous upset if it happens and would likely hinge on a 40 point ross explosion or something similar. Realistically it's not really a game by the middle of the 3rd quarter and I'm just hoping Isaac and Fultz put up numbers.

Time to shock the world today just like we'll be doing all week. Need to contain Middleton (Giannis is going to get his regardless of what we do), not allow Brook Lopez to space the floor against us with his 3 ball, keep Bledsoe out of the paint and we must match or beat their bench production. Definitely cannot turn the ball over against the Bucks and certainly cannot give up offensive rebounds. Definitely going to be a tall order but we can beat them.

EZ win, no jinx

Have fun with this one, on stupid nba tv means I’ll be blacked out. And I hate crappy suspicious streaming sites. I guess I’ll be a box score watcher

Any win in the next 5 would be an upset.
