LOL. Bledsoe opens up with 8 points in 5 minutes including two threes that hit nothing but the bottom of the net. Holiday opens up 1 for 5 and 0 for 3 from 3.
Pelicans up 13-5

Bledsoe hits another 3.
Bucks open 3 for 11 from 3.
Bucks with terrible defense.
Pelicans open 7 for 11 from 3.
Bucks open 3 for 12 from 3. Giannis 2 for 7 from the floor.
Pat Connaughton on Zion?
Pelicans are 8 for 13 from 3 and we head to the second quarter with the Bucks down 14 after giving up a 12-0 run. Giannis and Middleton are 2 for 11.
Torrey Craig looks terrible on offense when he has to create. Two wild drives.
A bizarre lineup to start the 2nd.
Connaughton, Portis, Augustin, Craig, and Forbes
Bucks now down 15.
This bench unit is getting run out of the gym. Down 17. Is Bud actively trying to lose this game?
Down 19 with Giannis with two absolutely awful turnovers. Just an absolutely embarrassing performance so far.
Pelicans 10 for 16 from 3. Down 21 and the Bucks are on pace to give up about 150.
Down 23 and Giannis playing like a rookie. Just some awful, awful turnovers.
Giannis, MIddleton, and Holiday are 4 for 21 so far with 4 turnovers.
Bledsoe 3-4 from 3
That’s fucking hilarious
Did he have one game in his career with Milwaukee like that?

The Bucks defense has been horrendous.

He's now 4 for 5 from 3.
As bad as the Bucks defense has been, their offense has been worse.
Middleton scoreless on 0 for 5.
Giannis 2 for 8 from the floor and settling for jump shots.
Holiday and Bledsoe switched bodies.
Fuck Eric Bledsoe. Seriously, 5 for 6 from 3. He melted every time they needed him the playoffs.
Pelicans open the 2nd half hitting two WIDE open 3s. Now 14 for 23. They usually hit about 34%.
Part of this is them being unconscious, but this happens against the Bucks a lot. It's not an accident.
Adams just abusing Giannis on the glass. Giannis not closing out at the 3 point line.
Pelicans now 15 for 27 from 3.
Bucks showing no signs of even having a mini-run. They mailed it in tonight.
Down 28.
Giannis jacks up a 3 pointer early in the shot clock and then falls asleep getting back.
I love Giannis, but Bud should bench him for the rest of the night.
They are down 27 with 20 minutes left. Just but Thanasis, Wilson, Nwora, and Merrill in and call it a night.
Pelicans 17 for 30 from 3.
EIther wide open 3s or layup every possession for the Pelicans.
The Pelicans record is 6-10.

And appears to chew him out during the timeout.
Just tuned in. Bucks down by 26? In the 3rd? Have a good night........

Evidence that your 3 point defense is trash!

6 for 9 from the 3 point line.
Every Bucks player has played poorly, with the exception of maybe Bryn Forbes, but Giannis has been beyond awful. He's missed jumper after jumper, been outhustled and outrebounded by Adams, given up sloppy turnovers, and gotten benched for not hustling back on defense.
LOL. That sums up Giannis' night. He missed a lob dunk that would have cut it to 9 at the quarter. Pelicans get the rebound and hit a 3 at the buzzer to go up 14.
DDV has also been awful.
At some point they'll have to decide whether they package him with Wilson to try to get another piece?
Eric Bledsoe is 7 for 11 from 3.
They might want to block out Steven Adams (19 rebounds) at some point as well.
Middleton misses a 3 footer and Giannis with another sloppy turnover. Lead back up to 15.
Bucks make it respectable, but it's an empty run.
They've let one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the NBA go 22 for 45 from 3. They've let Lonzo Ball shoot about 12 wide-open corner 3s.
Giannis' line will look great, but he was awful for large parts of the game.
So let me get this straight. It's crunch time and you have consecutive possessions where Zion is guarded by Connaughton and then Brook Lopez? WTF.
Why not just give them 4 points as quickly as possible and save some time?
Holiday managed to choke in the last minute too. Missed a FT and then somehow throws up an airball down 6 with 20 seconds left. I don't know what was worse. Throwing up an airball or deciding to take a 2 with 15 seconds left down 6.
DDV started out the season on fire but had faded big time since then.
If I’m the Bucks, they need a 3 and D guy like Covington. If moving DDV and DJW can get them a player like that you do it. Forbes becomes the starting 2 guard and you bring the newly acquired guy off the bench.
