Magic are a great defensive team, but it’d be nice if our offensive execution didn’t look so painful so often. Point Giannis was indeed bad tonight. Hopefully this was a learning lesson for him that again, Dame needs to be the closer.

Ugly game, solid win.

I’m not eating crow for Bobby but he was good. 0pts for Khris in 20mins gotta be a new career low for him? Not sure I’ve ever seen him score 0pts and play that much..

Freak Time continues to carry this team. Lack of viable depth, lazy defense and poor rebounding continues to hinder it.

On to Vegas, Go Bucks!

The 3 fouls in a row on the floor with Magic in bonus were unbelievably bad. They were seriously struggling to score and that kept them afloat.

Giannis needs to find a better scoring/facilitator balance. He wasn't efficient tonight when factoring in TOs

Even when he's not scoring, Khris makes the Buck's offence so much better. It's impossible to stop our big 3. Also, Bobby looking so much better lately.

1. Thanks to Giannis birthday deal had row 20 lowers for under $50. Fun to get in for that.

2. Brook was unplayable. Just a horrible game from him, on both ends.

3. Giannis is completely brain dead off ball defensively. Especially when it comes to (not) boxing out.

4. Giannis bringing the ball up is not fun. At the end of a quarter, we had him him positioned right under the rim. Dame walked it up, hit a gear to get past his guy to
the paint, and threw him an effortless oop. Giannis didn’t even have to move other than to dunk it. It was the easiest offense has ever looked for the Bucks with Giannis. That is fun. Do that.

5. Dame time is for real. 2 minutes left, like damn dame’s been quiet. Sudden 7 point flurry turns a 3 point deficit into a lead.

6. Scott Foster got the Magic to cover, so…. he accomplished whatever mission he was given tonight.

Maybe, but thankfully it coincides w/ Bobby's best all-around 3-game stretch the last 3 seasons. That's enabled Doc to limit Brook in these games & down the stretch. God knows Doc's virtually incapable of not playing 2 true bigs.


I'm guessing 5 games in 8 days is effecting Brook?

Prince has 0 pts the last 3 games. Has played almost a full 48. What illness is he playing thru, Ebola?

Hes such a winner. People freaking out in the game thread when Green was 1-6 from 3, which only means he's due. Then he hit his next 2.

Came to show some appreciation for Khris that was one of the best zero point games played. He just impacts winning, no way we get off to the slow start like we did if he was ready to go

It’s not just about his shooting though. The guy demands someone defend him which warps defences and creates more room for Giannis and Dame. And if he gets a decent look, the guy is money more often than not. I’m glad Doc is seeing his value is more than just a guy who can shoot threes. Kyle Korver-lite.

If Hawks beat Knicks we will win the cup. If Knicks beat Hawks we will lose against Knicks.

That is my prediction

Kyle Kornver aka DesMoines DeRozan aka what was the other nickname? Skim Shady? Can't remember...

He's arguably more impactful than Korver overall. Korver was a deadlier sniper with more length, affording him more consistently good looks, but Green is kind of a dawg on D. Has even shown a little bit in the PnR, he's got a PG background and it shows.

The thing I liked about AJ’s game tonight is he gave Suggs a couple hard hacks that made him wince. It was needed.

If Doc wises up and sits Brook vs Kat we have a shot.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
