Giannis out with a "toothache".

Sloppy start but Connaughton shoits them into the lead.
Another game where defense is just a rumor. 36-31 after 1st quarter.
67-53 Toronto at the half. Bucks just going through the motions.
Bucks ball handling has been just bad all bubble long...
They suck at handling pressure. They’re making reckless, foolish passes. That’s why they’re turning the ball over all the times...
Middleton and Bledsoe in true playoff form...just like last year.
Bledsoe just can't shoot and Middleton can't handle real ball pressure. I feel like we may be in the same place as last year 
I was hoping Divincenzo would be a difference maker off the bench come playoff time, but he’s been really disappointing since coming back from the 4 month layoff.
The Bucks bench has not been the asset they were the first 2/3 of the season. Connaughton has looked solid, Hill has been okay but not what he was before the shutdown when he was extremely good the first 2/3 of the year.
I’ll be fair and say that the Bucks just don’t have much to play for right now and at least the playoffs should spark some urgency in their play that has only shown up in short spurts during the restart.
But boy, they just haven’t really looked anywhere close to what they were the first 4 months of the year since coming to Orlando. Having no chance to play in the Fiserv Forum will do them no favors either.
Not sure just how much to take away from games like this. I mean, it’s basically glorified summer league.
Still, Bledsoe has been awful, DDV doesn’t have the same energy, and Hill and Middleton have been OK but nowhere near as good as they were in the regular season.
If this team wants to win a championship they need to play with more focus and intensity. The turnovers are what’s most concerning.
