Middleton and Bledsoe have been absolutely awful to a level that's embarrassing.
They really miss George Hill tonight.
Bucks go up 5. Middleton misses a WIDE open 3. Matthews misses a WIDE open 3. Middleton turnover and a clear path foul. Lakers go on a 9-0 run during that. Giannis never touched the damn ball.
The Bucks have just wilted. For probably the first time all season they've lost their poise.
The FT disparity is a joke, but you have to overcome it.
14-0 Laker run.

Wait, Even though he got hacked it's a travel.
Now an 18--0 run.
This is the most embarrassing stretch of the season. 20-3 run. Two Bledsoe charges, a Giannis travel, several Middleton miscues.

Un-f-ing believable.
Bucks are down 12 before Giannis even gets his rest here in the 3rd.
Middleton is 4 for 13 with 2 bad turnovers.
Bledsoe is 3 for 9 with 5 turnovers.
Matthews is 1 for 5.
8 for 27 from your guys playing the 1, 2, and 3 positions in the starting lineup isn't going to cut it.
The Lakers guards aren't very good. Those guys are being outplayed by Danny Green, Kuzma, and Caruso.
Without Giannis, the Bucks look like a lottery team tonight.
Bucks can't even get the ball inbounds.
This game might cost Giannis the MVP given how badly they've folded. It's only one game, but it will be a talking point for the next two months.
Good test for the bucks here in the fourth quarter Lakers really want to win this one
Well, when the Lakers are up 26 to 10 in free throw shots, kind of hard to stay in the game. Middleton and Bledsoe, especially, are not big game players. They did this last year.
Middleton has been playing well before the neck issue, but he’s been awful since coming back.
DDV and Brook Lopez are the only other guys that didn't wilt tonight under the lights besides Giannis. Middleton, Bledsoe, Matthews, and M. Williams all look like they are playing scared.
So far, the Bucks have given a lot of fodder to all the pundits who think their record is a mirage. The Lakers are doing this to them with A. Davis playing terribly.
Bledsoe and Middleton combine for 17 points on 7 of 22.
If your #2 and #3 play like that we are in trouble.
LeBron airballs one. Bet they don't show that on Sportscenter
Giannis needs to do Giannis things. Now. Because all we’re going to hear about is “No bag”, can’t play with the elite when it counts, can’t beat Lebron... and they’re all right. He’s being stupidly stubborn. Barreling into guys is not how you beat these guys. Own the paint. Use the jumper. Change speeds. Get out and run.
No one else is showing up. Be great.

Somebody must have told them this was a playoff game.
Connaughton acts more like a big game player than Bledsoe or M. Williams.
Our #2 guy is 4 for 15 from the floor, 1 for 7 from 3, and hasn’t taken a single free throw shot tonight.
Middleton’s back in my dog house.
How is that legal? You can block a guy under the rum now? And Lebron can push a defender away?
Giannis FINALLY gets a call and LeBron screams at the officials about it.

McGee and Howard have done that all second half.
Giannis 7 for 7 from the line. Now I know this is a dream. I need to wake up now.
Middleton, Bledsoe, and Matthews are 8 for 31 from the floor (2 for 15 from 3) with 7 turnovers.
