No, they're gonna lose to the 2 time MVP, Defensive player of the year and Finals MVP.

How many minutes together has that lineup even played? This is gonna be interesting. Not really sure the Bucks are going to make it work but Chicago isn't exactly a world beater even if they have woken up in time for the playoffs.

That said, 1-1 in a must win game (or close to it) down your 2nd best player on the road is certainly not what the Bucks wanted.

Not many, Bud has thrown out jumbo teams since Brook came back for a few possessions between juggling the bigs in and out of the roatation. We've only recently gone from a big roatation of Giannis/Bobby/Pat to Giannis/Brook/Bobby with Ibaka in reserve. It's not clear if Ibaka is injured or washed, I guess we'll have more of an idea over the next couple hours.

very capable of wilting and not really stretching defense like a jordan would,

Giannis is more than capable of imposing his will on a team. Suped up ben simmons tells me you haven't seen his development as a player this season.

it's weird nobody every talks about that zach needs offseason knee surgery. it's like yea he's hobbled but nobody acknowledges it nationally.

Giannis warps a defense just as well as any shooter because of the pressure he puts on the paint. It's been the case for years.

I like the big lineup but should have put allen on caruso.
Doncic will be goat. Lauri will be his sidekick.

Williams < Giannis

1. Zach > Holiday
2. Caruso > Matthews

Bulls are killing me with their poor shooting. How can they all be so cold? Zach, Vuc, Demar, PAW.

happy about the w and the effort, but am not counting out giannis. middleton is a huge part of the bucks, sometimes even more important than giannis in clutch situations, but giannis might be the best in the world. bulls will have to take it up another notch to mitigate the onslaught tonight

I'm guessing a lot of games midds sat, we were also missing either Jrue or Giannis.
