PG Wizards - Bucks Sleepwalk to Win

[brettski]

55 rebounds to 26. Also 6 blocked shots. I can't watch, but are we playing our bigs closer to the basket now?

I don't want to hear any trash talk from C's fans. That game is going to be a must win.

Just got home from the game. That was good fun. Monster Giannis game, lots of points, the quintessential Jordan Poole performance. And as an added bonus, I’ve never had a more efficient transit home. The train pulled up literally as I was heading down the escalator.

After years of calling for Giannis post-ups as a way to stop barreling into offensive fouls it's great finally seeing it happen.. the Dream baseline spins and dunks are gorgeous!

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

Last one he got the rebound and dunked it

Will take a beefy Giannis momentum game going into Boston. Need some healthy bodies for that to not be ugly.

I dont know boston hasnt looked unbeatable in over a week last 3 games they could of lost

I didn't think we'd be this far along this early in the season. Nice win.

In a game featuring Giannis, Dame and Midds, Jordan Poole took the most shots.

I’m trying to think of the last time there was a tank commander like Poole. 2003 Ricky Davis?

Put some respect on Brandon Knight's name.

Brook is always at the rim now. It’s why guards are routinely putting up 30+ on the Bucks, no POA defense plus Brook is defending the rim so letting guards feast in order to stop the layup line.

That and the Wiz have legit awful front court play.
Well legit awful everything play with Poole commanding the tank. The only decent player with a future on their team is Wemby’s former teammate.

Can someone please in a abbreviated answer please explain to me how +/- work i mean how can you be as bad as you all say beas is on D n still have a +20 is that juat a Offense type of stat

[dedned]

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.

Light it up

the highlight of the night was a 12 foot turnaround off the glass.

I don’t know if AG is smart enough to do this and I’d probably save it for the postseason anyways, but the best D against them would be putting Brook on Jrue, having Brook play at the rim, and daring Jrue to shoot hoping he takes shots away from Tatum and their three point assassins.


Play them straight up and Brook will be five outed off the floor and then they’ll just hunt Beas and Portis relentlessly with no rim protection behind them.

Bucks outscores the Wiz by 20 tonight when Beas was on the floor.

One game +/- isn’t a great stat as it doesn’t have context such as maybe Beas was on the floor a lot when a really bad Wizards player (Jordan Poole) was so he benefited from that guy tanking the Wiz.

Middleton with a season high 23 minutes is a step in the right direction.

He's already in midseason form with his handle

[MickeyDavis]

Trade Ideas and what picks we have to trade is already currently being discussed in the team thread. This is the the postgame thread.

And again he would have gotten 25 minutes but the Wiz were garbage so he got pulled with a couple left.

[German Athens]

I think this team may just be Caruso away from something really really special.

We’ve talked plenty about the absence of perimeter D on this team which he would provide, but he’s also very much a tone setter and that could change our identity on that end pretty tangibly.

The offense will continue to improve.

[tedbrogen]

Anyone have a logic explanation why Dre was back to zero non-garbage time minutes?
