Giannis has tinkered with his shooting form... less arch. FTs flatter...

Sit Giannis down with a lead, get a turnover fest and missed layups. A 13 point lead becomes 5.
It was a 13 point lead when DiVencenzo missed a wide open 3 that would have made it 16. They sat Giannis down shortly after and now its a 3 point lead. Middleton turnover, Bledsoe missed layup, Lopez missed runner, Lopez turnover, and then one Giannis turnover.
Mirotic with the Shaqtin a Fool fast break...
It will be interesting if Bud ups Giannis' minutes in the playoffs to prevent these non-Giannis runs by the opponents. If you played him 40 instead of 33 will it wear him out too much?
Terrible finish to the half. 1 basket the last 5 minutes plus...
1 FG after Giannis went out - he did come back but he had just dunked to put them up 13 when he went out.
The Pacers are probably fouling Giannis 5-6 times a quarter. You can only call it so much.
Then an obvious push off on Giannis.
Giannis gets pushed on every drive and can't get a call. If that happens in the playoffs, it's going to be trouble.
Ever since they started “managing” Giannis’ minutes, his play has deteriorated. He’s held back, not as engaged... and the offense is relegated to standing around looking for drive and kick that isn’t fooling anyone.
He needs to get back to his customary minutes and feel more comfortable to get back to his normal output...
How the **** is that not a foul? He was fouled by both guys. What a ****ing joke.
He never touched the ball!!!! Good ****ing grief!
11 point lead. Giannis sits. Important time to see how much of the lead disappears.

Still a 12 point lead 2 and a half minutes later. So far, so good.
Indiana is a tough defensive team... scoring isn’t going to be easy.
That's the way you start to put teams away. Now really put them away in the next 5 minutes.
Middleton playing well tonight... if he would just quit trying to be a playmaker, he’d be productive.
Does he have a black eye?
Bud - why, why, why do you take Giannis out with 5 minutes left? Indiana immediately goes 5-0 with a Middleton isolation shot miss.
There he is... that’s the 34 we know. D o m i n a t i o n
The Bucks have the two most athletic white dudes in the NBA...

Irsan and Lopez?
Lol... nothing says athlete like watching Ilyasova try to jump.
Nice bounce back game by the Bucks. Most of their starters played pretty well and they slammed the door shut on the Pacers in the 4Q.
Don’t like the fact they have a back to back Saturday and road game Sunday but it is what it is. The league should not allow that to happen. If you have a back to back at least make them home games. The Bucks likely won’t arrive into San Antonio until early Sunday morning and with daylight savings they’ll be all screwed up.
