Up only 8 at the end of 3. Bucks 3 point defense has been terrible this quarter. Dallas now 19-40 for the game and many of them have been wide open looks.

I say that about 5 times a game.
Giannis another ho hum 29-17-5 (13-19 FG) night in only 31 minutes. 5-6 dunks
Hit at least 1 - three too that I can remember. Maybe 2 -3's??
Mavs hit what....15 - 3's tonight. Still lost by 15.
Back in the day.....how many times did you witness the Bucks go into Texas & lose all 3 games? Like clockwork. The Bucks would lose - all 3.
Coach Bud has this team playing WELL! Minus Middleton too tonight.
They hit 21 threes... one off their all time franchise record.
It gets harder and harder to think the Bucks somehow aren't as good as their record indicates.
They dismantle teams.
What a great and unexpected feel good story!
I’m trying to recall but in my lifetime the Bucks had always struggled in certain places - specifically Phoenix, Denver, and Minnesota. In fact, I think they went like 20 years without winning a game in AZ.
It’s just such a good TEAM and yes Giannis is spectacular but everyone and everything just fits much like the Spurs all these years.
Bucks have a real coaching staff now. Their rotations are excellent. You don't get to play on this team unless you play defense.
Case in point - Bledsoe lollygagged defensively through 1 play, maybe he was tired (looked like he was gassed) Coach Budd pulled him for Snell immediately.
👁️❤️ This coaching staff. Stay healthy!!

The play I was referring to was at ~5:30 left in the fourth. Giannis had the ball at the left baseline, perhaps 8 feet from the basket. The time duration of his spin move followed by his dunk was like a single second!
It was amazingly quick.
And he keeps Giannis' minutes low. He always never plays more than 32-35 minutes. Other coaches would ride him for 40 minutes a night.

Aren't you underestimating Jason Kidd's coaching acumen? I mean, the guy taught them to miss FTs up 3 with under 5 seconds left to make sure they didn't give up 4 point plays. The guy also designed a defense to give up as many wide open corner 3s as possible - the logic must have been maybe guys will be uncomfortable shooting them when they are that wide open. Literally the same team (minus Brook Lopez who they have to rotate out against athletic 3 point shooting 5s) was near the bottom of the league in defense with two guys who should be on the NBA all defensive teams (at least third team) - Giannis and Bledsoe.
I'm glad we have Bud, but man we didn't know how bad Kidd was. Too bad Bud didn't get a shot at fixing Jabari. Maybe he was a lost cause, but that's what Parker needed.
