Holiday playing great for us in the 4th, again!
Why is Grayson Allen taking shots with 4 minutes left up by 4? Why why?

He will have some clunkers here and there, but when we really need him, Jrue is just clutch. And that D…
That was an ugly travel and 3 pointer. 5 point swing in a few seconds.
And get Allen off the fucking court. The last two times he’s touched the ball, he’s blown it.
Lopez for the last 2 minutes would be nice.
I like Utah eating up clock with the shot clock winding down
The only people that should be shooting the ball the last two minutes are Giannis, Middleton, Holiday or Lopez.
JC money at the line, hits ‘em both. Up 4 with 12 seconds left.
Carter has been a real difference maker on D. Good win for the Bucks. Utah (like Phoenix and Denver) has historically been a house of horrors for Milwaukee.
This was the Bucks first win, in Utah, since 2001. Those days of Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson and Sam Cassell!

The Nets basically released Carter to make room for Dragic. It was potentially one of the most important moves of the year for the Bucks when Dragic chose the Nets over them. Dragic would have given the Bucks some offensive firepower off the bench, but he's kind of redundant in New Jersey. They already have Durant, Irving, Patty Mills, Ben Simmons, and Seth Curry as wings. As good as Irving is on offense, every semi-contested shot that comes from anyone other than Durant is a win for the defense. The Nets biggest need is defense and Dragic does nothing for them on that end.
Last night with every except Connaughton available for the first time all season, Carter was in the closing lineup. You put him and Holiday in the backcourt at the same time and that is some of the best on-ball backcourt defense in NBA history. That closing defensive lineup of Holiday, Carter, Giannis, Middleton, and Matthews is as good as it gets (with three other elite defensive players sitting on the bench - Ibaka, Lopez, and George Hill)
By the way, watching the game last night it just seemed like Giannis was playing poorly. He had 3-4 shots blocked at the rim, Whiteside clearly gives him trouble (more than Gobert), and he was in foul trouble.
Then you look at the final stats and he goes for 30-15-4 and shoots 12 for 24 form the field (one shot was a heave at the halftime buzzer).
It's amazing how high the expectations are for him.
