Regular Season Game 23: Orlando Magic (11-11) at Milwaukee Bucks (20-3) - 8pm ET

The Bucks dominate. They control the pace of the game and make you play them. They didn’t seem to do that last year. I could see them very easily coming out of the east if they keep this up.

Evan's not good tonight.

21 pts on 15 fga's ...not his best but hardly not good

He's just taking bad shots instead of making the easy pass. Lots of one foot jump shots from the midrange.

nah, he makes those shots every game and he's been moving the ball well

[Howard Mass]

The Bucks were just too much tonight. The Magic gave a good effort but could not beat my pick to win the East.

Not mad about losing a pretty good game to the best team in the conference and maybe in the league.

[ChosenSavior]

The effort and fight were there. Execution just was not good enough. Bucks are really really good. Have to regroup so we can prepare for the Lakers on Wednesday who I really would love to beat.

[basketballRob]

If we passed the ball in the first half we might of won.

Was expecting a 30pt loss, but glad they battled and gave themselves a shot.

I thought we played Giannis really well tonight, && then you look at his statline and realize how dominant of a player he is. Regardless, I thought we played well. The benches were the difference. Nobody (including myself) gave us a shot to even keep this competitive and it was all the way through.

I Want to see them play the Lakers. The 2 clear best teams in the league right now.

We gave ourselves a chance, but Giannis made two 3s and they're just better and smarter in general. DJ's final line looks decent-ish but I thought he was our worst player again. Bad shots leading to run outs for the Bucks, his signature behind the back pass that should be an open shot for somebody but isn't because it's a bad pass. Being small and not able to defend anybody. He's just having such an extreme negative impact on games.

[Knightro]

No such thing as moral victories, but the Magic kept this closer than I expected them to.

Give this same effort every night and just make a few more shots and things will be all right.

[NavalAviator94]

We’re actually not too dissimilar from where the Bucks were 3-4 years ago.

Man...I know Giannis still got his, but damn did it look like JI made it hard for him whenever they matched up. The kid does so much right on the defensive end it’s unfortunate the help isn’t always there.

And we still don’t need Vucevic. I feel even more confident saying it after that game. Better coach and bench pieces we’re in there.

We played a gritty game. As I said, the first time we played them we were struggling to score and defend so it makes sense that we battled this time around now that weve settled in. Sucks that we weren't at full strength.
Giannis had a great game but it wasnt as easy as the box score makes it look. JI did a great job making it hard on him.

Ross and Evan did everything in their power to keep game somewhat competitive.
49 points on 31 shot.
Younger players didn't do much on offense, matter of fact 4 of them combined for 1-9 for 3 and shot 14-43 overall.

Ofc in comments it will be fappig over "defense" because that's only thing younger players did

[OrlandO]

Put up a good fight against the best team in the league. Might have won this one if healthy.

[basketballRob]

They had 3 assists late in the second quarter and ending up with 24. We're a good team if we pass.

JI played like a grown ass man tonight against Giannis. His upside tonight continues to excite me. AG also did a really good job on the boards and had his moments of good defense as well. Liked how Markelle played, liked how Evan played, Ross is getting back to Human Torch status which is wonderful to see again. Management needs to find a way to build out this bench along with finding a way to get another scorer/shot creator on the perimeter.

I was impressed by the Magic's effort tonight even though they lost they kept it close. Isaac's defense is something to get excited about hopefully he can develop some offense and then we'll have ourselves a baller.
