Bucks go up 7-2 to start. Bulls go 6-0 to follow. Pretty even so far.

Bucks up 9, but Giannis leaving a lot of points at the FT line (1 for 5)
Grayson Allen into the game and out come the boo birds.
Ibaka is washed up. I guess he'll provide some resistance against Embiid, but looks stiff as a board.
Tighter than it should be, shown they can go on a run.
Bucks blow a 14 point lead and only lead by 4 at the break.
I was all for the Ibaka trade, but we held onto DDV for as long as we did and got him? I don't think he's playable in playoff series against small ball lineups. He moves like he's 60 years old. Our two top 5s we are counting on both had back surgery in the last year.

No. The ESPN crew isn't on the court. They were so over the top on the this I turned the sound down.

Lopez may be back soon...
Getting away from them. Down 4.
Ibaka embarrassingly useless of both ends of the court
Getting blown out of the building the last 3 minutes. 13-2. ESPN announcers excited.
Down 7.
Bucks go cold and Chicago hustles into the lead.
Why is Milwaukee so bad in the third quarter? Time and time again.

I’ll believe it when I see it. At this rate, I expect to see Randy Breuer on the court again before I see Lopez.
Speaking of Bucks of the past, what do you guys think Marques Johnson’s chances are of finally being enshrined at Naismith?
Bucks 15 of 22 from the line. 66.7%.
🤦🏻♂️

Giannis misses 2 more. 6 for 13 from him. And the miss leads to an and one layup on the other end. 5 point swing.

Giannis misses another one.
9 misses at the line for Giannis in a tie game. Ugh.
Wes Matthews air balled a wide open corner 3 so badly, Holiday got an uncontested layup off of it.

Yep. Completely different game if he even goes 12 for 17.
Bulls will whine if they lose this one- they have as many FT attempts as Giannis has misses.

I don't know. Johnson was pretty good, though.
Holiday keeping us in it. 14 points this quarter.
Bucks up 5. They had about 4 chances for daggers in the last minute and just couldn't get a shot to go down.
Giannis makes 2 from the stripe. Bucks up 5 with 28 seconds to go. Play D now!
Good win.
Giannis, Holiday, and Middleton go for 82 points on 57 shots
DeRozan and Lavine go for 59 points on 56 shots.
Javon Carter was their best bench player.
DeRozan gets his 29 points but goes 11 for 30. In other words, you can tell from the box score that Holiday and Matthews guarded him.
People ready to bury the Bucks and they are 3-0 this week against the other so called contenders.
Playing better now vs the top teams. Looking forward to how good they can be when injured players start coming back.

At age 29, he was already a 5 time all-star and 3X all-NBA and looked like a sure HOFer. The problem was his career was basically over after he got injured that year. I think he should still be in, but the lack of those extra 3-4 years of counting stats hurt him.
I think he's actually a similar player to Middleton, but a better slasher.
Those early 80s Bucks teams with Moncrief, Marques, Winters, Bridgeman, and Pressey are really overlooked. If they played in todays game, they probably win a title. Moncrief and Pressey were lockdown defenders. Lanier at center. They just couldn't get by the Celtics and Sixers.
Those 80s teams weren’t overlooked; they played in an era with the Celtics and Lakers and Sixers. Philly was dominant and they only won 1 title.

It’s been awhile but I feel like Marques was more explosive overall than Middleton. I think Middleton’s maybe got more crafty ways to score whereas Marques had more speed and quickness. They both were/are damn good with Marques being slightly better due to his great athleticism.
