@Tschmack posted:This Bucks team just doesn’t quit. People talk about Giannis and his almost supernatural skills and abilities, but he has world class toughness and moxie and work ethic and competitive spirit that you rarely see in a star player (any sport).
Boston is a championship level team. If the Bucks can get past them without Middleton it’s a pretty incredible achievement.
Agreed. Jayson Tatum is a superstar. He's 24 years old and is on a potential trajectory where he is probably the best player on a title team in the next 5 years. He's as close to Durant in terms of scoring with jump shots as anyone in the league is.
That's what's so baffling about the end of the game last night. Marcus Smart gets the final two possessions? I took this from a twitter post from someone who goes by @34pauIpierce. Look at how wide open Jayson Tatum was after Connaughton's FTs. Matthews fell down and Tatum was WIDE OPEN for a potential game tying shot. Instead of looking for Tatum (or Brown who is just to Smart's right), Smart dribbles right into one of the best defensive guards in the league at halfcourt with 5 seconds left.
