Bucks struggling against these clowns so far. I don't get it.......
Hey a 5 point lead in the 3rd Q.
Like the Packers v. Lions.....sleepwalking.
They need to stop taking teams like this lightly.
About to sleepwalk into a possible loss. Need a defensive stop on the final possession.
George Hill with outstanding ball denial defense on that possession.
Rim protector Brick Lopez saves the day at the end.
Another ho-hum win 
106-104.
Good try by the Wolves. Give em credit
Bucks looked like the Packers tonight, UGLY win, but it's still a win. It's crazy to think they'd struggle to beat a T-Wolves team with both Karl Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins sitting out. They were awful tonight but Giannis is difference maker enough to get the win with little help from the rest of the guys.
17 turnovers.
9 for 36 from 3.
Only 17 for 26 from the line.
Still won.

Actually, I think the Bucks have mostly done a good job of taking nearly every game at least somewhat seriously. This one was an exception to be sure, let's just hope there aren't many more like this turd.

Definitely not an issue this year. Last year they got swept by the Suns and lost 2 games to the Hawks, though...
Not excited they almost lost to a really bad Minnesota team but hey they got the W.
Last year they probably lose that game.
As for the Wolves man what a mess. Hearing rumors now they might try to trade KAT? He’s not the problem. The problem is you have almost 45MM tied up in Dieng and Wiggins for this season and next and Wiggins is on the hook through the 2022/23 season at 30MM+ per year.
You can build a team around Karl Anthony Towns. Andrew Wiggins fills up the stat sheet but is not a winner and plays no defense.

That Wiggins/Parker/Embiid draft is shaping up to be historically terrible. Just a lot of guys in the Wiggins/Parker/Aaron Gordon mode who put up stats but aren't part of winning teams. The one potential HOF-level (Embiid) had to sit out two years before he could play. Jokic (2nd round) is the only other All-star.
The previous year's draft (the one Giannis went 15th) was also mostly terrible. That draft has yielded two all-stars (Giannis and Oladipo) and one other guy who should have been/will be an All-star (Gobert).
I was really high on Marcus Smart and he’s been a decent player but not sure worth the 6th overall pick.
Zach LaVine has been pretty solid given where he was drafted

I like Smart in terms of his defensive intensity, but he's just a terrible shooter. A 6'3" guy who is a 31% 3 point shooter and isn't even that good inside the arc is not a guy you expect to depend on. He's even worse in the playoffs from 3.
The fact he signed for 4 years and 52 million is unbelievable. He's basically Wes Matthews without the ability to shoot.
I still think Randle can be an excellent pro. He has been part of total shit shows, and has had no mentors. He plays selfishly and as a result been labeled that way- but he has game. He’s still really freaking young, too- just 25 in his 5th year.
