Well, another chance on national TV on “Players Only” night. Their big 3 versus ours. The key as always is whether the Bucks shooters can make the Thunder pay for paying too much attention to Giannis. Both teams want to run, so transition D will also be an important factor. The Bucks definitely have their hands full tonight...

16-0 run buries the Bucks early. More missed open looks, meanwhile OKC hitting contested jumpers.
Maker has a long way to go- Adams just tossing him around in the first Q. Giannis the only offense- 10 of 23. Middleton another no show- missed shots and turnovers.
Bucks shooting 34%... after going up 8-4 in a Giannis dunk, 38-15
The Bucks with Giannis on the bench are like the Packers without Rodgers.
It's a terrible matchup
No answer for Adams and Bucks getting killed on the glass
Big time reality check. 3 stars and a mismatch are showing the Bucks how far away they are.
John Henson and a still-too-young Maker are not going to get it done against good teams. It doesn't help when your second best player is 3-12.
Getting blown out of the building after 3, then OKC goes 6-0 to open the 4th.
Giannis currently 9 for 14 from the field.
The rest of the team is 9-43.
Giannis 28-8-3, and not another single Bucks player in double figures.
The reality I think is the Bucks role players are either too young or too average. Open looks all night, but they withered as we have seen in the past.
The Bucks will beat up the average/bad teams, but against the contenders they’re going to struggle.
A lot of teams are going to struggle against OKC but the Bucks players have to step up.
