Bucks now down 6. 4 turnovers and have already given up 3 offensive rebounds.
How are we down six to these scrubs? Come on, Milwaukee. Pull your heads out of your asses. You should be destroying this team.
Their bench is completely outplaying ours.
Bucks go 6-0 in the last 40 seconds to lead by 7 at the half. Giannis with 14. Khris with 17.
Classic Bucks opening to the third. Bucks only up 1. Were up 11 before Giannis blew a layup, Middleton threw a pass about 5 feet too high, Allen had a terrible turnover, and Giannis had an offensive foul.
Bucks with 5 fouls in the first three minutes of the half. Kings with none.
Bud sits Giannis who has been pretty passive to start this half.
Bucks now up 7, but Giannis almost looks like he's sleepwalking. 6 for 13 from the floor against a team with no one to guard him.

He decides to take one and scores 12 points in about 3 minutes.
Bucks up 9 going to the fourth. Giannis with 28-9-1
Middleton with 24-7-8
Bucks with some terrible basketball. Holiday misses both FTs, Giannis misses a layup, Holiday misses a layup.
Now only up 5 - should have been double digits.
It’s going to be interesting to see what the playoff rotation will look like now that Lopez is back. Bud is playing 10 guys a night and I doubt that will happen in the postseason unless it’s a blowout.
Would seem to me that Pat C and Portis are the first 2 guys off the bench then you wonder if it’ll be Carter or Ibaka or Hill or Matthews - assuming Wes doesn’t start due to his defense.
Allen and Hill could be the odd men out. If it’s a more guard oriented opponent then they play Hill and Carter more and if it’s a team like Philly then I would guess Ibaka gets more of a look.

I agree with you on Allen be the odd guy out. He's just not good enough on defense. I'm not sure you can start a guy all year and then completely remove him from the rotation, but that's what might make the most sense. Are you going to play him over Connaughton?
Bud has a lot of flexibility for his rotation and it will probably vary depending on the matchup. It's likely exactly what you said above.
Obviously, you want Giannis, Middleton, and Holiday to play 35-40 minutes each. Portis slots in for 20-25.
A Sixers matchup would mean a lot more Lopez and Ibaka to make Embiid work. Holiday probably goes on Harden and Middleton on Tobias Harris.
A Nets matchup means more minutes for Matthews on Durant and Jevon Carter on Irving.
Jevon Carter's play has created problems for Bud in a good way. Just looking at body language in these games, some opposing players seem almost relieved when Carter gets switched off of them and they get Holiday on them instead. That's how good an on-ball defender Carter is. Holiday does the same things and is better because he's a lot bigger, but because Carter only plays limited minutes, he goes full tilt the entire time he's out there.
As a sports fans, every fan’s dream is to have a superstar athlete’s jersey with their signature, it is a moment of pure bliss. In the game between Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings, there was in attendance a special person, the former Green Bay Packers Quarterback Brett Favre, whose grandson was in for a treat. In the Golden1 Center there was in attendance a Hall of Famer Brett Favre, former Green Bay Packers Quarterback and he was with his grandson for the game. Giannis Antetokounmpo is regarded as one of the most physically dominant players in the game and also a future Hall of Famer. Brett’s grandson was in for a treat when he came along with his grandad for the game between the Bucks and the Kings. After the Bucks had won the game 135-126, Brett’s grandson was out there meeting the players and shaking their hands when he went up to Giannis Antetokounmpo, who made the young boy’s day a whole lot better and quite a special one. The 2X MVP gave his shirt to him after the game and even took the time to put his signature on it, for the Hall of Famer’s grandson, “Want this jersey? It’s kinda sweaty. It’s yours”, said Giannis. Favre’s grandson was all up in smiles and said to the Bucks guard, “I’m gonna hang this on the wall!”.
