Bucks down 35-20 after the first.
Giannis with 12 in the quarter on 4 for 5 from the field. Rest of the team has been terrible on offense.
The Bucks offense other than Giannis struggles against size without Middleton. Holiday can bully most guards, but he's too short to finish against the rim protectors the Cavs have.
I know they have to work him into game shape, but right now Joe Ingles is unplayable. I'm not sure why they didn't have him play some G league games first?
Bucks getting embarrassed for the second time in 3 games. Lack of effort, 11 turnovers in about 14 minutes. Nobody but Giannis doing anything on offense.
Bucks give up a dunk after a made FT because no one was back. Bud calls timeout to chew them out.
Down 43-21 and that score doesn't capture how badly the Bucks are being dominated. It looks like Giannis and a bunch of guys that should be in the G league tonight.
The rest of the team not named Giannis is 4 for 16 from the floor. Absolutely pathetic showing.
Are the Bucks ever going to be healthy, and in sync? This is game 31. Might want to start playing Bucks basketball. Any time now.
The Freak can’t do it alone.

I mean, they do have the best record in the league right now. But their offense is really out of synch without Middleton. Giannis and Holiday are the only creators and Holiday is too short to be effective against good defensive teams.
Celtics trail at home 71-43 at half to Pacers.
Nets lead Warriors 91-51 at half.
Bucks down 21 in the 3rd.
A lot of blowouts in the NBA tonight.

Yes, they have the best record. But I’m looking towards the playoffs, MP, and this offense is misfiring too often. It worries me.
Our defense, if Holiday, Lopez and Giannis, especially, can stay healthy, gives us a real good chance against anybody/and Middleton is a pretty under-appreciated defender in his own right.,
The offense needs to get in sync to have a legitimate shot at another title.
Grayson Allen and Jrue are a combined 4 for 17 from the floor.
@lambeausouth posted:What do you guys think of Beauchamp?
More upside than DDV. His size makes him playable on defense against bigger wings.
Jrue Holiday was terrible tonight and they force fed Ingles touches. Those two things lost them this game.

Nothing about the Bucks concerns me at all. They seem to understand when to take the night off. Well, everyone but Giannis who is full go all the time. NBA regular season ain’t shit!

Giannis going for 45 against a team w multiple guys that can at least slow him down was impressive.
The reasons for this loss were probably Holiday being worn out from bodying up Zion 48 hours previously and getting reps for Ingles in live game situations.
You are right, the playoffs are what counts (as long as you are one of the top 6 seeds). The Bucks don't really need home court advantage.
They need to know if Ingles will be good enough to run offense through in 4th quarters of playoff games. They absolutely need Middleton, but it would be nice to have another option.
Beauchamp did look very good against a good team last night. That was a great sign.
