Not a great start. First 5 possessions. Holiday misses two open 3s, Allen with an air ball, Holiday turnover, Giannis miss.

Trae Young going off - 13 points in the first 7 minutes. Carter handled him pretty well, but Holiday is getting roasted. Jrue has also started 1 for 7 from the floor.
Brook Lopez also has 13 and has kept the Bucks even.
Bucks up 2 after one quarter despite one of the worst quarters I've ever seen from Giannis. Air ball from 10 feet, a missed dunk, and 1 for 5 from the floor overall.
Trae Young scoreless in the second quarter.
Bucks up 59-51 despite one of Giannis' worst halves in a while. 1 for 7 from the floor, 2 for 4 from the line. Awful
Bucks up 7 headed the 4th.
Giannis 5 for 15 for 17-11-2 right now with 4 fouls.
Giannis is -13 in 23 minutes. Tentative, timid, awful.
Bucks +18 in the 16 minutes he's sat.

8 for 14. Bucks up 3.
Trae Young up to 37.
Giannis 9 for 17 from the line.
Bucks up 2 late.
Bucks up 1 late. Playing dumb basketball. Lopez misses a 3, at least in rhythm, but then Holiday with a pull up three with 20 seconds on the shot clock
Bucks end up winning by 8 in a game that was a 1-point game under a minute.
Giannis struggled for most of the game, got put on the line multiple times and struggled, but in the end
34-17-4, 11 for 22 from the floor, 1 for 1 from three, 11 for 19 from the line.
30-11-3 in the second half.
Jrue goes for 34 points and 12 assists.
Great win on a back to back when a lot went wrong (Giannis missing FTs, Trae Young going for 42, Giannis with 4 fouls in the third quarter).
This looks like something Durant would do.
The Hawks might makes some noise in the East this year similar to the Bulls last year. A lot of firepower on that team.
Still, it says a lot about this Bucks team when Trae Young goes for 40+ and Milwaukee without Middleton beats them. Milwaukee seems to be very frisky and motivated.

The Hawks problem is Trae Young. He may score 43 like he did, but he allows the opposing guard (Holiday) to go for 34 with 12 assists. He can't guard anyone and the playoff teams will hunt him on switches. He makes Bryn Forbes look like a defensive stopper.
