Bucks vs Nets has got to be one of the most exciting match ups of the season so far. I want to see how the Nets handle Giannis, and the Bucks enter this game with the top offense in the league.

Does anyone else thing that orange stripe on the wall behind the bench at MSG looks like an on screen arrow like they use in football games?

Knicks locking down on defense again? 38 pts at the half by the Magics. They kept the Celtics under 80 pts whole game yesterday and under 40 pts today at the half. Thibs is a defensive MVP coach.

Yeah he’s done work on this defense. The level of opponent is definitely helping their defense out today as well

I don't know how the Timberwolves did it but they are saying they will have 10 players available. Reddish, Gallinari, Bogdan, Dunn are out for the Hawks. But they still have Trae, Huerter, Hunter, Collins, Capela going.

If the Hawks don't win this game, with the Timberwolves down KAT, expect the calls for a coaching change to start up real soon.

Is it defense or just general suckiness by both teams?
