PG: Bucks Scorch Heat for 5th Straight 

Post#1 » by MickeyDavis » Fri Jan 24, 2025 3:45 am

Very impressive win without Green and Middleton.

Dame is really fun to watch.

Bobby was great.

Trent on fire.

Pat with 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Rollins was solid.

Extend Tyler Smith.

Giannis was Giannis.

Don’t get why we need to play Giannis 32 and Dame 36. Is there really such a big players culture that we have to let them get theirs? Sure, let’s further risk injury and not give more burn to the young guys.

I missed the Smith minutes but early in the game I was thinking it would have been fun to see him go up against Ware.

Horst is a genius.

Extensions for all.

Seriously, it was great to see that third unit play hard and as a team.

Meh, they hadn't played or practiced in 4 days, a few extra minutes is no big deal.

the eye test says that the Dame/Giannis two man game is finally clicking.

I thought we got away with a ton on defence but a pretty cool performance outside of that given the circumstances.

The Heat Culture is looking a tad fragile.

I love that the media can talk about the woe is me cloud of Jimmy Butler over Miami like they haven't been talking about Giannis leaving Milwaukee every week for the last 10 years.

It was pretty clear the weirdness of the last couple days impacted them for the first few minutes. But once they got their sea legs under them they were off to the races.

At this moment, until the Butler situation gets resolved, the Heat might be the worst team in the NBA right now.

The Heat sucked, but we still might have something here to overcome the disadvantage big time. At least the form is real.

Fun fact: Johnson & Smith had already played for the Herd today. Don't remember a 2 games in 1 day assignment.

I heard it was a rickety puddle jumper and not one with an interior nicer than my apartment. The hardships these guys go through.
