Enjoy it. It's gonna be more intense than any regular season game we'll see the rest of the year.

Wut. This feels like a pre-season game in terms of energy, focus, and crowd.

Unless there's some type of reshuffle this roster is just unfortunately too top heavy. A solid two way guard who can dribble and throw solid passes is sorely needed. I'm wondering if there's a trade in the works.

We need to have a handful of quick actions we can use to get guys free. Our offense is always just "Dame and Giannis, Go be great while the other guys stand still"

We are so dumb sometimes

It's weird watching a game I want to win but don't care if we lose.

Lopez not being able to post up 6'6 guys is troubling.

Someone make it make sense

That's always so **** frustrating. The Bucks go big against a smaller and quicker Thunder lineup, and instead of exploiting that size mismatch in the paint, Brook is on the perimeter chucking threes and he can't even help crash the boards.

They're playing small and Brook's still out on the court when he can't even hit a bunny.

Someone make it make sense.

If he’s just run to the block, catch a pass, turn and draw a foul; it’d be absolutely huge. Instead stand up top and bring an extra defender to our ball handler

they put so much pressure in the perimeter that we cannot run anything

It’s just so hard to punish these small ball teams with the flopping now. Need more Giannis at the 5 at some point this season

I've liked the movement so far for the majority of the game. It's probably the best they have done so far but they have been missing shots

Wild that's not a foul going over Dame's back

The ball was clearly on the the rim

Show a possession where SGA doesn’t push off

Hard to compete against this Hartenstein whistle

Middleton nursing that three day hangover. I’ve been there, man. Its tough.

Need to pay off the wide open corner 3s

Not having a reliable backup guard against a good team? Sure that wont matter.
