Not a big fan of the bucks, but it's nice to see the team that ruined the NBA being humbled on home court by someone not named Lebron.

Good job Bucks

Bucks taking the Warriors to the woodshed, giving them some of their own medicine.

This is a statement game. The Warriors would not want to see the Bucks in the finals. Nightmare matchup

It is proven numerous times it is much better strategy than trying to defend 3 ( especially when you have **** perimeter defensive team). Just pathetic decision gifting Celtics a win.


I dunno how this got landed a head coaching gig.


I'm thinking he got the job as the tank commander.


They could have kept their old coach for that. Assume that would have been cheaper.

That's game. Clippers down a couple key guys, on road... just didn't finish today. SO many errors this quarter and careless basketball. At least we got a true breakout game from SGA.

Nights like this will happen randomly during the season.

But the Bucks are definitely scary.

Bucks might just be too long and athletic for GSW defensively.

But that's his downside.

No thats his backside.

Lowry's upside is mental and psychological.

Don't forget that the Blazers still don't have Harkless, one of the top 6 or so players on the team.

Green isn‘t the best player from GSW but everytime he‘s out and they play against a good or solid team they struggle hard. I think the Warriors can even handle a Curry injury better.

Cant remember the last time Curry looked this bad. Teammates aren't even trying to set him up tonight and you can tell his overall effort is suffering because of that.

What sucks is Clippers now play Bucks, Warriors and Spurs to continue their BRUTAL opening 15 ish games of the season. Tonight they had plenty of chances to take control and choked.
