Bucks getting killed to start. Down 12-5.
The Heat with multiple layups and wide open 3s when Lopez goes into drop. The Heat are a terrible matchup for him.

Absolutely pathetic first quarter. Bucks down 40-28 against the Heat who are missing Butler, Richardson, and Rozier.
Portis and Lopez were both terrible. Dame looked to be asleep.
Bucks down 17. Looks like an Adrian Griffin coached team right now.
It's comical watching the Heat just abuse Lopez on both ends. They have to move him in a trade after this season - he's basically helpless against the Heat, Celtics, and a few other teams.
We all like Brook Lopez but teams like Miami and Indiana and Boston I’m not sure he’s playable. You keep him around for a team like Philly w/Embiid but the odds are very low of that matchup.
Embarrassing. Bucks getting their asses handed to them by the Heat again. 69-52 at the half.
It is the tail end of a back to back. Don’t read too much into this game.
Bucks briefly got it to double digits but now back to 15.
Get Brook off the floor.
It's impossible to convey how out of his depth Lopez has been tonight.
Heat shooting practice 3s all game long.
As frustrated as I've seen Giannis in a while. After a great game so far, he is forcing things now because almost everyone else has sucked and it's getting ugly
22 point deficit
Jeezus keerist.... 🤦♂️Glad I'm not watching this crap
Adebayo is dominating Giannis right now. He is in Giannis' head.
Trade deadline has already past. It's too late to do anything with this flawed roster.
Robinson, Jovic, and Love are 15 for 20 from three and almost all of those shots were wide open

Back to back or not....they're not supposed to get man handled like the Heat are playing a high school team
Probably lack of NBA knowledge on my part but I was expecting a beat down loss before the game. I’ve just seen it too many times. The Bucks beat down of the Celtics early this season, for one. They sold out last night against the Nuggets.

The Heat go after Lopez in drop to start the game and get in a good rhythm from three. Lopez looked washed up tonight
Bucks give up with 8 minutes left. Down 30.

Sometimes in these back to back that is the case, but this was different. The Bucks defense was destroyed schematically and it was all about targeting Lopez.
The Bucks defense was beyond awful. Giannis was dominant in the first half. If he hadn't been, the Bucks would have been down 30 at the half. Once he ran out of gas in the second half, the Bucks were totally helpless.
Two steps forward and one step back.
On paper, there is no way a depleted Miami team should beat Milwaukee but when they hit 50% of their 3s and you don’t defend well and hit enough of your shots that’s what can happen.
Miami had a fully loaded Boston team on the ropes the other night. Difference is they shot 12-40 from 3 instead of 19-40.
