Yep, like crushing the Knicks 12/23 then coming out flat on Christmas. This team needs some consistency.


I’d argue having one of the worst coaches ever also made it tough to beat a playoff team two consecutive games when that team was super motivated for game two.

For sure. And I have way more confidence in this team already, but coming out flat will give me pause.

Think we all knew this was coming, but confirmed no Khris for the roadtrip.

So annoying for Khris. He was starting to round into shape and was playing well. Hopefully he comes back strong.

Doc said Khris would not play either game
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Im really hoping they handle business again. It’s been a few times that it seemed we were turning a corner only to come out flat. Things have been way better under Doc but still hesitant to say that we’re back to contention status whatever that is. I’m excited for these upcoming matchups as a measuring stick.

Mine was when Phil said something like "What would you do if you were stuck in the same place, doing the same exact thing every day, and nothing mattered?"

Then the redneck replies "That about sums it up for me."

And that my friends, is life....especially in Wisconsin, in the winter.

I’m expecting this one to be closer but a loss would be extremely disappointing. If the team has actually turned a corner as a team they don’t lose a game like this.

I read this too quickly and read it at first as "Doc said Khris would not play ever again", and i thought, yep, that's probably about right.

The Bucks have enough juice to keep winning without Middleton and get the #2 or #3 seed. We're not catching Boston either way so why rush him back? As long as he comes back with enough time to ramp up for the playoffs that's all that matters.

Cleveland been looking suspect lately losing games they should be winning. Not nearly as concerned about them as I was before, Bucks beat them in 5 or 6 if we're healthy.

Fun fact - Giannis's 3pt % for this season is now higher than Anthony Day-to-Davis. (27.6% vs 26.4%, and Giannis doing it on more shot attempts). Wasn't Ham saying at the start of the season that he wanted AD to be shooting at least five 3 attempts per game?

Doc said last week that if this was the playoffs Khris would be playing so I think its safe to assume that his absence is due to an abundance of caution

Khris has to play 19 of the remaining 22 games to get his 1.5 million bonus. What are the odds he starts feeling a lot better pretty quickly?

I remember wishing Darvin was the Bucks head coach during the dark days of Grief’s reign.
