Bucks playing nervous. Giannis tried a 3 and was about 3 feet short. Down early and Bledsoe in foul trouble already sparring with Harden.

Bucks ice cold from the field. 2/10 to start and down 12.
Ugly game... Giannis, Bledsoe, Harden... 2 fouls each.
Noticed that... Fiserv has a late bowl crowd, maybe Houston has the same issue?
Paid Middleton $37M this summer to get out played by Pat fucking Connaughton...
3 minutes left in the half and Middleton has 2 points?
Just an awful 1st half defensively
Middleton needs to get his head out of his ass

Maybe they’re all Chinese...
Middleton is never going to live up to that contract. So you all might as well stop bitching about it.
Harden crying about a foul....STFU oh bearded one
WOOHOO!! LOPEZ FOR THREEEEEEEE
Bucks on a 10-0 run Timeout Houston!
BIG RUN!!! Now they’re playing basketball! Both ends!
FUCK YOU NBA REFS!
Purposely called that foul on Giannis. He didn't do a god damn thing
Bullshit 6th on the Greek.
FU NBA.
No foul on Harden over the back.
God sometimes I really hate the NBA
16 FT attempts to 33 FT attempts for Houston
Harden gets his 4th foul before half and no fouls the second half yet Giannis fouls out
Holding on without Giannis. Now they need to finish it. Time for Middleton to earn his pay.
Refs bailing out Houston every chance they can get
Harden throws up a complete brick of a 3, comes flying through the middle crashing into Lopez yet the foul is on the Bucks.
Holy balls, I haven't seen ref shit this bad since Sacramento / L.A. playoffs
HAHAHAHAHA
ILYASOVA!! He's been magic tonight
At least they finally called a foul on Houston.
When there is a 20+ FT differential you know something is shady

NBA sucks and has for at least 35 years.
EAT IT DANTONI!! God that guy cries more than any HC I know
BUCKS WIN! Well deserved too They tried to do everything to stop the Bucks from winning
Bledsoe and Middleton 8-28 and the Bucks are shoot 20 less FTs and are going to win this one
Oh and Giannis fouled out
FU refs and Houston
Bucks played pretty bad and won. Rockets were overly demonstrative and lost.
God damn I loathe watching James Harden play basketball. Bad product.
Gotta love the contributions up and down the lineup- Ersan 13 pts 11 reb, Matthews 14-4, Brook Lopez with all 11 of his points in the 4th to go with 5 blocks 3 assists, 2 steals...
Giannis goes 30-13-10 and doesn’t play the last 5+ minutes... that amazing. They’re a long ways from being as good as they’re going to be. And they still beat Houston on their opener.
....and Ersan was incredible tonight.
Brook is a matchup nightmare. Post up or drain the 3 . Good luck .
Is Chris Webber bad or what ? Liked how he criticized the Bucks strategy on overplaying Harden .... Harden ends up 2-13 with 7 turnovers. Time out !!!! Oops
Webber has trouble hiding his dislike for the Bucks...
That’s the thing Music. That was a terrible first half but they came back strong in the 2H without Giannis and quite honestly didn’t get much offensively from Middleton or Bledsoe.
If this team does fire on all cylinders they beat Houston by 30.
The depth on this team is pretty amazing and good to see get the W when they don’t play their best game.
And no one thinks this is a good win for Milwaukee as much as a bad loss for Houston. They just don’t get it... Harden made two damned shots last night. TWO!!! Westbrook shot 7/17!
The Bucks defense took away their supposed rightful MVP and forced other guys to beat them. They were 11/21 as a team from 3 at halftime... they went 5 for 25 in the second half. 66 points in the first half, 45 in the second.
Meanwhile the offense shook off a slow start and scored 67 points in the second half. 67-45 in the second half, and all we hear is the Rockets lost. Hilarious... and just about right. The Bucks somehow are going to “surprise” everyone by kicking everyone’s ass again this year.
Westbrook and Harden demand the ball and when they are off that team is in trouble.
Meanwhile, two of the Bucks best three players had an off night and Milwaukee still won. The quality depth on this team is crazy good. Eventually the outside shots will fall whether it’s Matthews or Korver or Erdman or Lopez or Middleton. Or Connaughton for that matter.
