PG Wizards - Bucks Sleepwalk to Win

Poole has to be the absolute worst player in the league. Every time he was on the court the bucks took a big lead then he left and the lead shrunk. Poole was like - 30 and scored 30. I was so glad he got playing time in crunch time so the bucks could extend that lead

It's like the Bucks Monte Ellis/JJ Redick 2012 roster before Giannis.

I'm not sure how to feel about this. Sure it's a W, but it reminds me of the old Big Dog, Ray Allen, Sam Cassell Bucks, where they would just outscore their opponents and defense was an afterthought at best.

You’re rooting for the draft pick.

You could tell long before the 4th that the Bucks knew they could just up the intensity a notch in the final 5 minutes and take this one.

No point in going all out for 48 minutes against the Wizards in November when you don't have to.

That team made me feel like I was watching some of the 2000s Bucks teams.

First game I've gotten to watch since the Bulls game. Pretty mediocre for 3 quarters and then we decided to care in the 4th and that was really fun. Washington couldn't guard Giannis and he knew it. Also notice how Beas went off at the end with Khris on the bench. His best moments are when he can move up in the scoring hierarchy, it's why he's perfectly made to be a 2nd unit scorer. Winning is fun

agreed. but in the league now its kinda different then when they played. great offense >> great defense

we just need to be respectable. i think we need a tone setter. we dont really have one

At least we didn't lose to Charlotte.

I will also add that for at least 2 of Giannis's 3 misses, he rebounded them himself and scored. I don't recall his 3rd miss, but on possessions where he shot and wasn't fouled, at least 20/21 ended with him making a shot. CRAZY

Not bad for a rich man's Amare.

The team is REALLY talented and things still looking clunky. Especially on defense. Not worried. I kind of miss Marjon.

Yup. Some can freak out that Washington kept it close for awhile, Boston followed up a 2 point win over Memphis with a loss to Charlotte.

Problem is (imo) this is not the year to worry about a top pick.

So they can draft another Johnny Davis. 8-)

The Bucks have already won more games than I thought they would all season so the rest is just gravy.

Sincerely one of the best. Guaranteed losses and hilarious plays every game? :lol:

Giannis continues his streak of monster games. Just been unreal lately. Him and Khris have been pretty consistent in their play. Brook and Dame still are trying to figure out some things. We haven’t really been that great with them out there overall but talent has been winning out. Not too concerned but I want to beat Boston so I hope they figure it out overnight.
