Bucks up 31-27 after one. Giannis with 10-6-2. Dame with 13 points and 3 assists.
Bucks up 42-37 but giving up a lot of layups or it would be much more.
Bucks with a terrible defensive half, but still lead 70-65 because the Wizards are even worse.
But you have to be concerned with the number of layups the Wizards have.
Bucks letting the Wizards hang around too much right now. Only up 5 partway through the 3rd.
Bucks only up 4. Really, really, really struggling on defense. Layups happening way too easily.
They are +20 points in the paint
Can’t recall the last time a Bucks team was like that
We’re beating a 2-10 team by 4 points late in the (edit) third.
Really, Bucks?????
Also, how is it possible that Giannis has nearly 30 points, and hasn’t gone to the line even once?
LOL, the lead is down to two.
If we lose this game, Adrian Griffin should be fired on the spot. There is NO reason that Wash. should be in this game with Giannis, Lillard and Middleton all active,
Bucks only up 2 at the end of 3. Wizards ball to start the 4th.
104-102. A really disappointing defensive performance.
Giannis 17-19 in 25 minutes - 34 points. In 3 quarters.
That’s a crazy stat line
Oh hell, that’s the end of the third, not the fourth.
We’ve given up 102 to Washington in 3 quarters.
I seriously need a hug. Our offense is nonexistent right now.
To quote Vince Lombardi, “what the hell’s going on out there?”
Celtics only up 2 against Charlotte and Denver and Detroit are tied - all late 3rd quarter.
Weird night for sure

It is.
Our superstar is shooting a hair under 90% from the floor, and yet we’re in s dog fight with a 2-10 team.
I can’t see the game, but this is absolutely shocking.
Even the Michael Redd-era Bucks were better than this defensively, and that’s not saying much.
What’s Sidney Moncrief up to? Can we lure him out of retirement? At 66, he might improve our transitional defense.
One point lead in the 4th. Wizards have about 70 points in the paint.
Bucks behind. This would be an embarrassing loss at full strength,

We’re +16 in rebounds, too.
The fast break point disparity is really eye opening.
At some point, this is going to get better, right??
Bucks push it back to a 7 point lead. Wizards take timeout.
Giannis still without a single free throw.
I mean, are the refs just favoring the home team, or do they have Coke bottle glasses on? How is it possible for a man with Giannis’ inside game to not get a single foul call?
Bucks up by 7. 7 and a half left in the 4th. Just keep working and get out with a win boys
MP, any idea on the highest shooting percentage in NBA history on a game with 40 or more points? I don’t subscribe to Basketball Reference. Just Baseball Reference in perpetuity.
The big man has to be very close.

Watching the Gamecast only, I’m hoping tonight ends up like the Charlotte game. The Bucks seemed to dick around for much of the game, and then finally turned it on in the 4th, outscoring the ‘cats by 20.
I need to see a full effort for four quarters. We’re letting too many bad teams hang around.
Lillard is a closer. I’m excited to see him continue to grow within our offense.
Beasley has been money the last few minutes.
Beasley buried a 3 off a pass from Giannis and turns and said some shit to the crowd then pointed at the scoreboard 😆
Charlotte and Boston tied with like 5 seconds left. Holiday missed 2 free throws in a row under a minute.
Boston and Denver in a dogfight against 2 of the 4 worst teams in the league. Bucks should be OK to close this out.
Not sure what the record is, but 20-23 from the field and 42 points in 34 minutes has to be close to a record for Giannis.

They got the closers in ... Kha$h, Gianni$ and Dame$$$
Bucks up by 18 now ... Couple dagger threes
IDGAF if it's against the Wizards. They're closing this thing out!
Giannis goes for 42-13-8. 2 for 6 from the line was the only flaw. 20 for 23 from the floor.
Lopez with 5 more blocks.
Boston fail to tie it in Charlotte as Tatum misses the last of 3 FTs he got for a borderline shot behind the arc. Celtics now down 3 in OT with 0.8 seconds left.
Ball and Williams for Charlotte combined 54 points on like 60% shooting. Not good backcourt defense from Holiday at all.
Hornets win over the Celtics in OT.
Celtics resting Horford, probably to save him to guard Giannis on Wednesday.
