No Kawhi tonight who is out for load management. This should be a win on paper now, but the Bucks lost to the Heat without Jimmy Butler so they can't afford a similar letdown here.

The NBA has a problem, a big problem with this load management crap.
Missed 2 games in the first 8....ridiculous.
Why should I watch till April?
Imagine being a fan who saves his pennies to see the Giannis and Kawhi matchup...buys tickets and now Kawhi is taking a hard earned break. Ouch
Too many games in an NBA season.
It is mot to many games, it is the back to back games
Bucks defense once again giving up too many easy baskets. Meanwhile, LAC simply daring Giannis to shoot. Total collapsing on the paint when he drives. Middleton doing his work- one three goes 8 in past the rim and hits the backboard.
Bucks need to settle down - to frantic on offense. Bledsoe got a few early 3s... that might work agAinst them if he starts thinking he’s got it going.
Lopez needs to sit if he’s going to keep missing every open look...
Defense ramping up but the offense looks disjointed...
Bledsoe knocking them down the last few games...
Bucks PG position Bledsoe/Hill: 31 points, 9/12 from 3... taking advantage of Lou Williams defensive deficiencies.
Now the dreaded 3rd quarter when they always give away the lead...
Like fucking clockwork... blowing leads is what this team does. 3rd quarter and they’re all jacking up bad shots.
I'm really wondering about the Lopez brothers on D. They get used on pick and rolls and Harrell is abusing them on floaters. Athletes they are not.
Put Middleton on the GD bench and leave him there... FUCK! 
It's highway robbery we pay Middleton what we do. Can we trade him for Klay Thompson?
I just got done yelling multiple obscenities at the TV toward Middleton.
Clumsy asshole
The worst thing is there was nothing else the Bucks could do. They had to sign him but I hate how inconsistent he is

Harrell is a bad matchup for those guys. But when your $37M investment is out there kicking the ball around the yard, can say it’s Lopez’s fault.

I’d take Klay a Thompson with one functional ACL than this fucking clown...
He is always good for two or three terrible clumsy turnovers. Great sign we can barely handle the Clippers sans George and Leonard.
Clippers getting a whistle EVERY TIME DOWN THE FLOOR...
Giannis gets the lead back up to 10- now the bench has to hold...
Let’s see if those free throws get Middleton off his ass... getting a few free throws can get you in a shooting rhythm.
Not a bad finish to the quarter. Now put your foot on their throat.
Nice drive by the $37 million dollar man!
Hey....the bench did it. Nice close to the 3rd Q
Bucks are 18/40 on 2 point shots tonight... and lead by 9.
Bledsoe with the flop! Great sell job
Clippers have shot 32 free throws in this game. It’s ridiculous. They go to the line almost every time down the floor.
Giannis is kinda difficult to defend if he's imitating Steph Curry....
Clippers don’t get a couple calls and now they’re ready to pop... lol
What a joke.... should've been no call. No and 1 either. Basketball was so much better in the 80's
Beverly didn’t even fall the right way. That’s fucking terrible...
200 pts, 100 rebounds, 50 assists. In 8 games.
Friggin phenomenal
Good win. Giannis carried them down the stretch. Giannis first player to ever start a season in the first 8 games with 200+ points, 100+ rebounds, and 50+ assists.
First...
Player...
Ever... 
I know....I was like....not even LeBron? Or Wilt?!??
Wonder what Michael Jordan is thinking right now.
During this 4 game winning streak here’s the stat line from Giannis
Averaging 34 points, 15 boards, 7 assists. He’s shooting 38% from 3 and hitting about 70% from the FT stripe.
Guess he decided to step up and be more assertive!
A couple of other stats- for the season Kyle Korver is shooting 49% from 3pt range and George Hill is shooting 60% from 3 point range. On the other end of the spectrum, Brook Lopez and Eric Bledsoe are only at 29%, and Wes Matthews has struggled from long distance (30%). In the case of Wes he’s a career 38% shooter from 3 and Eric and Brook are off the pace as well.
