Bucks Skeleton Crew at Nuggets (Giannis, Bledsoe, Hill are all out)

Middleton's over/under on points for this game is probably 40. Unless they fall behind early and just wave the white flag he's going to get 30 shots. 

Kyle Korver is available, but he played yesterday and hasn't played in any of the back to back games since December.  

I know the fans don’t like to see this but this might be their toughest 5-6 stretch of the year and they get 3 full days off before hosting Boston at home.  Might as well rest some guys. 

According to facebook it's Matthews, Robin, Brown, Connaughton & Thanasis.

I thought you were kidding. I guess not. Holy cow. 

Matthews still sucks offense even with this unit. 

Bud sitting all the starters except for Matthews. Not playing DDV either. 

Lottery Lineup

Gonna be ugly tonight

Nuggets 7 for 12 from 3 in the quarter. 

So the white flag is raised for this game.

Probably for the better.

This is almost like Bud's F U to the NBA for this schedule the last 9 days. It has been ridiculous. 

At Charlotte, At Miami, Indiana at home, At Lakers, At Suns, at Nuggets

Milwaukee to Charlotte (650 miles), Charlotte to Miami (650 miles), Miami to Milwaukee (1251 miles), Milwaukee to LA (1756 miles), LA to Phoenix (370 miles), Phoenix to Denver (602 miles)

That's 5279 miles of flying in the last 8 days.

Giannis, MIddleton, Bledsoe, B. Lopez, George Hill, DDV, Marvin Williams all sitting out. 

I love how the announcers are going into the "Bucks suck and have no chance in the playoffs" mode based on a game where they literally aren't playing 7 of their top 8 players.

Which announcers?  I got FSN WI on and they are realistic.

And now we start with the LeBron love. 

Criticizing Giannis for not taking enough shots in the all-star game while pumping LeBron up for having confidence in his teammates to not take a shot in the 3rd quarter of the Clippers game. 

Candace Parker is the only one making any sense.

NBA TV. Kevin McHale, Candace Parker, and Greg Anthony. 

The Bucks players who are playing tonight average 54 points a game. 

Greg Anthony just predicted the Bucks won't be a #1 seed

The Bucks entire roster getting playing time makes a TOTAL of 24 million this year. 

I can't believe the call on Korver.  Frickin soccer dive.  JFC.  No better than all star wrestling there...

Sterling Brown pisses me off- Korver comes off BTB threes where net didn’t even move, has a fast break, and decides to take one himself. Doesn’t get the ball to the hot hand in transition, just jacks one up himself. 

Next time down the floor, chance to cut it it 4, turns the ball over trying to split 3 fucking defenders. 

That he made the 3 is irrelevant- that sequence  is why he’s playing his last season in Milwaukee.

Bucks hanging around...

Frank Mason 2-10, Wes Matthews 2-9, R. Lopez 0-4 from 2. 

I know they all but surrendered this game, but I'd rather have Bender than Frank Mason. I'd actually rather see Bronson Koenig. 

Ha ha!! Murray gets called for the wipe away on his posterizer. LOL! 

The Bucks should run Middleton, DDV, and Brook out right now to start the 4th.

The Korver show... 

How are the Bucks even in this???

Hanging around... 

Sterling Brown costing himself some money next year. He's been awful.

Kyle Korver

Hanging around. Hanging around. Kid’s got  alligator blood. Can’t get rid of him. 

Does Matthews have compromising pictures of the owners? On a night when the rest of the starters are off, and there’s no pressure to win, he’s still 2 of 10 from the floor. I could shoot better than him.

He’s been in a slump for about a month and a half... 

That'll do it. Down 12

The Bucks are so bad offensively... 🤮

If I'm the NBA I don't know who I'm more likely to fine for tanking this game. The Bucks for playing a G league team or the Nuggets for somehow keeping this close. 

Well, they hung tough.

I don’t want to hear about the big bad West. We had all our best players out, and were in it until almost the end, and in Denver, no less. 

And I am so fucking tired of hearing people graveling at LeBron’s feet. Oh, he’s the MVP. Easy to look great when you have one of the five best players in the NBA on the court with you every night.
