Bucks--Cavs game... What's with those ugly uniforms?
.
The Bucks are 2-0 with two blowout wins when they sit Giannis... maybe they’re onto something...
I’m glad they sat him unlike Kidd that would have worn him out by this point in the season.
Bledsoe and Brogdon played well and good contributions from the bench.
Man, is Cleveland bad, from personnel to coaching. I don't think I've ever seen an NBA game where a decent, but not dominant, player like Brodgon is allowed to drive for a layup one on one 7 times in a quarter. That was basically the Bucks offense the entire 3rd quarter. And Cleveland made no adjustments.
They do need to get Middleton back on track.

Nope... and Brogdon looked certifiably bored when they finally sat him down.
Little troubling the 4th team gave up enough of the lead they had to bring starters back out, but Middleton needed the run anyway.
Middleton’s issue is that teams have adjusted to his game. If I’m defending him, force him to drive. He’s not a finisher and is prone to predictability. Half the time then, it’s a poorly executed play and a turnover or poor shot. He’s not a high basketball IQ player, so defenders are regularly a step ahead of him.
The best one on one players have an array of moves and are successful because they make you guess. Watch Kyrie Irving- his brain and hands are so connected, he’s countered your counter and then counters you again. The great ones always do that, but guys like Irving, LeBron, Magic, Michael, Larry... their BIQ is so high that you’re chasing your tail trying to defend them.
