I just have no confidence in Middleton. I donโ€™t see him as a true #2. Just goes ice cold at the most inopportune times, and turns the ball over way too much.

I like him more than you do, but I agree that at times his turnovers can be annoying.  I look at it like this, Middleton may not be one of the elite guys in the league, but he might be at the top of the list of guys who fall just below the elite line.  Will that be enough for the Bucks to win a title?  Time will tell, but overall I think Middleton has played well this year.

The game at Boston is about their only game this year where the other team really outplayed and beat them.  One game.   They melted down in Miami OT loss and lost on a 3 in Utah.  

Has anyone watched what the Clippers have done since getting worked by the Bucks?  They are busting up fools left and right. 

This team is good.  Scary good.  Just need to stay focused and healthy and keep it rolling. 

A lot of what theyโ€™re doing is attributable to Giannis. I mean, heโ€™s MJ 1990. Heโ€™s the most dominant player in the NBA, heโ€™s at his best in q4, and he is on both ends of the floor. 

But you have to give Horst and Budenholzer a lot of credit for whatโ€™s going on around him. Weโ€™re in year 2, and they have a roster lacking the โ€œrequisiteโ€ second superstar. I mean, everyone on the planet says that you have to have 2 superstars, right? They gotta join forces if they want a title. 

But what are we seeing? Are we seeing a variation of the Pistons title teams, especially the 2000s one- I.e., the right mix of players and coach-  this time with the gameโ€™s best player? 

Or is it the Spurs? Would Parker/Ginobli have been stars without Duncan? Is this Bucks supporting cast- complete with a PG thatโ€™s is dynamic defensively and able to get in the paint but makes some questionable decision- similar to the Spurs 2 decades of contenders and Champions centered around the gameโ€™s best team player? 

Those teams regularly dismantled teams. Overwhelmed them. And were at their best when they were unselfish. Those of us who watched the league then, and envied those fan bases as they bucked they bias and the odds and the officials to 8 titles the last 30 years understood that these models were the only way the Bucks could be Champions. The league wants the big 5 markets in there (LA, NYC, MIA, CHI, and BOS), and to push them out of the way for a San Antonio, Detroit, or Milwaukee would sacrifice so much of the market share theyโ€™d be fools to endorse it. But as the Mandolorians say- THIS IS THE WAY.
