Is that a new team record for most 3's in a game?
Holiday is a big upgrade. We will leave it at that.
Holiday and DDV are upgrades over Bledsoe and Matthews. Like significant upgrades.
Obviously they lose something defensively with no George Hill but offensively Augustin and Forbes can hold their own.
128-83 with 7 mins left in the game.
Bucks set NBA record for most 3's in a game
2 NBA RECORDS!
Giannis finishes with 9 points
Chuck just said Shaq is overrated... here, here!
Iâll be honest- I really like Jordan Nwora... he has a very good offensive game. Natural stroke. Once he knows defense- even if he isnât a great defender- he could be every bit as good offensively as Porter Jr.
Nagler crying about too many NBA Tweets
Way, way, WAY too many NBA Tweets. smh

It was important to get Holiday on the Bucks. It was even more critical to keep him off another team in the East.
YouTube TV also on the outs with Sinclair? Same with Hulu TV.
Get used to an up and down Bucks team this year. These guys know the regular season means little. They will turn it on in the playoffs and during big games.

Well fuck, thatâs all theyâve been hearing from everyone since they lost in the playoffs...
Ya think???

My understanding is Sinclair on the outs with every streaming service. Only available on cable and AT & T service.
I gotta think the dam has to burst soon for Sinclair, they are awash in red ink from acquiring the RSN's from Fox. Almost half the subscribers where on streaming services.
I can limp through the NBA season, but come baseball time....
You can stream MLBTV for around $125 for the season....I don't know if you'd be screwed if you're in the Brewers home market, though.
The addition of Holiday and keeping DDV could pay huge dividends if the Bucks end up playing Miami again in the playoffs.
Holiday abused and toyed with Herro early in the game and while he got his points it was later on in garbage time when the game was well out of hand. Same thing with Middleton and Duncan Robinson. Middleton got his shot pretty much whenever he wanted.
Bledsoe gets a lot of the blame (maybe unfairly) but you see this with Holiday that if you donât check him heâs going to shoot and score pretty much at will. Last year Miami could devote 5 guys to defending 4 Bucks (basically) using Bam as a rover on the weak side D while Butler could guard the perimeter. Heck, there were times Matthews couldnât shoot so it was like 5 on 3 defense.
You canât do that now and with DDV shooting the way he is youâve now flipped the matchup against Miami to your favor. The only watch out is the Bucks are giving up size and some offensive rebounds which could hurt them against skilled bigs like Tatum and Embiid or other teams that have more traditional front court players.
I expect Miami to come out and play better tonight but the Heat maybe arenât quite as scary anymore.

Yeah well..... they didn't have Butler either. Sooo.....taking it as an early season nice win. Nothing more.... nothing less. Cool to get the 3's record!
The Bucks setting an NBA record for threes in a game after TNT inexplicably cut away is an all-time Milwaukee sports moment. #MilwaukeeVsEverybody

Butler is the straw that stirs the drink for the Heat. He sets the tone and certainly would have made life more difficult on either Middleton or DDV. But I doubt it changes that much. Bucks still win that game by 20+ because of the way Milwaukee played defense and obviously hit their shots.
Miami has to feel a bit down for a number of reasons. Giannis wonât be joining them, and Holiday (and probably DDV) are going to give them fits because Miami doesnât match up well with them if those two play well. Middleton already had their number. And all of this despise Giannis not playing a good game. So yes, if Iâm Pat Riley Iâm quickly coming to the conclusion this isnât the 2019/2020 Bucks anymore.

Lol
Or as Delante West once said to a rookie on Cleveland - caught on audio for the Jim Rome Show
âI donât care if you have to fly! Planes, trains and automobiles. Better have my do-nuts!!â
Bucks are so much better when things run through Jrue - not Giannis.
Hope Bud takes note.
Was nice to get the new guys some burn last night.
Butler officially out tonight.
Miami starting Igoudala and Bradley tonight.
Does Giannis ever get a call?
Bucks start 1 for 7 with a lot of bad looks.
Giannis looks lost on offense right now. Very hesitant and unsure.
Thanasis gets Wilson's minutes again.
Bucks open 1 for 7 from 3.
Connaughton is useless.
Bud inexplicably plays a bench-heavy lineup and turns a 19-14 into a 25-19 deficit.
I guess no one else is watching?

And then Pat hits back to back 3s.
Bam gets the superstar calls Giannis doesn't
Getting a little too reliant on 3s for me...
Theyâre not moving enough. Thereâs no off-ball action to get guys into rhythm. Catch and shoot off drive and kick is ok, but youâre not making them work very hard on D. Then theyâre good to go blast 20 threes on you...
Bucks miss 4 layups on the same possession
Good fucking grief, Lopez...
Really like the adjustment of entry passing to Giannis at the high post. That extra 4-5 feet (relative to the arc) makes the wall collapse deeper and opens the 3 point shots up more.
