Interested to see how MKG affects this game. He's been playing lights out defensively lately and maybe he can get under Giannis' skin.

Monroe is out for the next two weeks, so the Bucks will have a big rotation of Maker and Henson. Dwight and Cody should own the boards tonight.

Tonight's game appears on ESPN Schedule Alerts as one MIL should lose.

This marks the second of a back-to-back set for the Bucks, who hosted the Thunder on Tuesday before (on Halloween, no less) flying east to Charlotte on the same night ... and losing an hour in the process. It's also the Bucks' third game in four days. The Hornets will enter the game with a one-day rest advantage.


Stii, MIL is the type of long, athletic team CHA often struggles against.

It's our 3rd in 4 days too, but at least we had Halloween off. I don't recall MKG bothering Giannis too much last season, but maybe he'll have better luck this time.

Only way to win this game is to limit turnovers and shoot lights out. We have no one on the roster that can stop Giannis. Dwight is too slow and Cody is too short. He's going to score in the paint at will. MKG could prove to be pesky, but Giannis has such a huge length, only thing MKG will be able to do is stay in front of him, not alter his shot.

No one in the league does, including the Spurs with Leonard, that's why MVP level players like Giannis are so special. What we do have however is a team full of great to good defenders that can and should shut down the rest of their team. They don't have enough offensive talent outside of Giannis to win the other matchups against us.

Edit: I just watched an interview with Lamb and it clicked with me how much bigger and stronger he is. He has a man's shoulders now. It's no wonder why he's been so much better defensively. He actually has the strength to fight through screens and use his body to his advantage now.

If you shut Middleton down it doesn’t matter how many Giannis scores. He is the only other real scoring threat for MKE right now.

I don’t know where this feeling is coming from, but seeing so many Panthers related commercials throughout my Hornets games really sticks in my craw.

This Bucks team is scrappy. Our guys looking a little lost out there.

Bench chipping away at their lead pretty nicely. Let's look to keep up the defensive intensity and get out in transition.

Monk and bacon are fun to track, they are both physically gifted with some skill for sure.

Kemba being Kemba. Mess around and seriously be in the MVP conversation if we can find some consistency in the winning column. We definitely can be a top 4 seed in the East when healthy.

Kemba is infinitely more exciting than anyone else on our team. He's truly a joy to watch out there.

I think guys that are more stocky/tanky do better vs Giannis. MKG is too light. I’ve never believed his listed weight.
