Bucks get the early slot today. Historically, the Bucks struggle in early games. Giannis needs to play a little more like the 4th quarter and less than the 3rd quarter of Wednesday’s game.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the bench looks like today with Augustin active.
Decent start, but Giannis starts 4 for 7 from the line with two short off the front rim. The stroked looks good, but seems to be pretty flat in terms of arc.
I was thinking Hubie Brown doesn't sound very good and then looked it up and realized he is 87 years old.
Connaughton still the first guard in off the bench even with Augustin available?
These rotations.....weird. but maybe we'll get it at a later date....hey Middleton for 3! Of course.....

The Warriors are going to be bad for a long time now that Klay is probably never going to be what he was. Draymond Green is out too, but he's close to washed up, too.
It's idiotic that some "legit" NBA writers were thinking the Bucks were going to be forced to trade Giannis to Golden State for Wiggins, Wiseman, and Green. Wiggins on a max contract might be close to the worst contract in the NBA>
They’re playing pretty sloppy... they get going at any point they’ll be up 20.
Giannis 4 for 11 from the line. Bucks only up 10 over a really bad Warrior team.
Middleton with 21 at the half.
KC Jones died... the Celtics are going to run out of room on their unis for the tributes.
Wiseman looks good but Lopez cannot defend him. Bud needs to wake the fuck up and make some defensive adjustments on him. He’s the only reason this isn’t a 20 point Bucks lead.
Good to see Augustin playing.

Heinsohn and KC Jones within a couple of months.
I'd be worried about Cousy and Russell.
Bucks playing sloppy near the hoop. Quit turning the damn ball over!
Another turnover by Lopez
Hes been awful in this game
Giannis doesn’t give a shit about the MVP this year, does he? So lackluster.
He really should stop jacking up 3s. Just develop a little mid range shot.
I think the Bucks get fooled on the effectiveness of the drop defense in games against non-playoff teams. The Warriors are 8-32 from 3. If they gave the Celtics or Heat these same looks they'd have given up another 4-5 makes and it's a different game.
Just get back to 72% - 75% FT shooting.
It's early. Bucks are from the Randy Moss school of professionals.....play when they wanna play. None of you forget that!
Merry Khrismas!

There is your 20!
That’s the run. Middleton a chance for a forty-spot. Augustine makes a difference on that second unit.
Do we see Giannis and Middleton to start the 4th?
I'd like to see them use these first 4-5 minutes to work on posting Giannis up on the low post and give him some reps there.

Portis has some potential, too. At least he can defend the perimeter. He's like a younger Marvin Williams.
Maybe we will finally see Craig get some minutes?
Augustine can really score. Inside/outside. He’s in a perfect role on this team.
no-look alley-oop and DJW blows it... smdh
Giannis 4-14 from the field, 0-3 from 3, 7-15 from the line
Everyone else. 35-60 from the floor, 15-27 from 3, 9-9 from the line.
Bucks by 33 -- who is still unhappy?
The Warriors have some of the most expensive ticket prices in the league. How'd you like to be the marketing person that has to see those tickets? Draymond Green isn't going to move the needle that much.
Yeah GSW is in trouble. They really needed Klay this year.
Nwora and Merrill can stroke it. If they can hold up on defense at all they should get some minutes.
