Giannis now listed as out for this one with ankle soreness.

Bucks down 1 after the first. Sitting Giannis may make this a close game.
I saw that Ibaka was starting. How's he doing?

Looks good so far. Definitely a presence on defense and 3 for 4 from the floor (and the one miss was a goaltend)
Bucks down 3.
My god, Nwora is just god awful. He's let at least 2 guys blow by him for lay-ups.
And Nwora allows another blow by that results in a layup and then misses a layup on the other end.
Down 8 now to a team trying to lose.
Bucks down 17 in the first half.
How about fukking playing Giannis and trying to win games instead of half assing these games and ending up in play-in games, because they are starting to border on that at this point.
And Nwora misses a blockout and gets cooked on another layup.
DOWN 17 AT THE HALF.
I'd trade Nwora for a bag of potato chips at this point.
Bucks give up 40 points in the second quarter.
Bucks were up 43-40 with 8 minutes left. They got outscored 31-11 after that.
Absolutely pathetic performance.
What the hell is going on??? ðĄ
Bucks down 21.

They decided to sit Giannis with "ankle soreness" against a team they thought they wouldn't need him for.
When the front office and head coach decide the games don't matter enough to play him, it sends a message. How about playing him all three games before the all-star break and then, if he needs rest, sit out the fricking all-star game?
With a loss tonight, the Bucks will be the 5 seed and only 2 games out of the 7 seed (which would relegate them to the play-in games).
Down 16 going to the 4th.
Middleton is 3 for 14.
Bucks out rebounded 52-36.
Bucks get it to 11 and Nwora airballs a wide open 3.
Bucks get it to 8, but back to 14.
God, Nwora sucks.
Bucks down 17.
This team may be in the play-in games.
Middleton was terrible from the floor tonight. Holiday was deceptively terrible. 7 awful turnovers. Most of them lead to layups on the other end.
The Bucks have lost games this year to the Pistons, Hornets (2), Knicks, Blazers, Hawks (2), Pelicans, and Spurs. That's 9 losses to teams under 500. A lot of them because they sat guys for rest. How about playing guys more early in the year so you can rest them more in March and April?
