Easy win if we're at full strength. Oh well.

Without Brogdon and Bledsoe, second night of a back-to-back, at a tough Jazz team, and still a tight game in the fourth that we very well could have won.

I hate losing, but I ain't exactly mad.

Not sure what that was. 20-6 runs to start 1st and 3rd quarters and you lose. Incredible.

With 4 guys out the Bucks needed somebody to step up and nobody did. Mirotic had a bad game. Connaughton should be the 11th or 12th man and played 35 frigging minutes and got murdered.

Leave Middleton and Pat in Utah.

Thought after Giannis' 2nd three we'd go on with it. Pretty poor D for the 4th. Shame Giannis' FT's are the difference in the end.

Donovan Mitchell can eat a bag of dicks and then for good measure can eat 10 more.

I had 100% accepted a loss ahead of time tonight and they still managed to piss me off with how they blew this game.

Like I said in the game thread. We got to a point where all we needed to do was trade buckets to win, and Giannis was scoring at will. Instead Middleton ran garbage offense and we choked away our lead.

Feel like we are asking Middleton to do way too much off the dribble. If we did 4 fewer drives from him and 4 more 3pt handoffs with Snell and Brook we win this game.

Giannis free throws are difference between win and loss tonight

They really missed Bledsoe and Hill on defense.

Having Ers and Connaughton in during crunch time killed us.

Khris wasn't good.

Khris proving once again why +/- is only referenced by people who are not watching the game.

Not much to say. Good win for the Jazz, expected loss for the Bucks. Middleton should not be a priority sign in the offseason unless he takes a number around his current contract.

Tough one. Yes it’s a huge road schedule, guys are tired, but Middleton’s effort via the eye test is heinous.

Also giving up less than 40 points in the 4th quarter.

Giannis’ weakness is not outside shooting, it’s his FT shooting! He really needs to be a 80% free-throw shooter if he’s going to be the best player in the world. You cannot be missing FTs when you rely on driving to the basket.

I don't care if its irrational or not, I dont want us to keep Middleton anymore
