Hornets at Bucks, November 30th

This is why I hate the back to back games 

It’s a long season and you are going to have to rest some guys 

Up 7 after one. Both teams 4-10 from 3. Robin Lopez is beginning to look a lot more comfortable at the 3 point line. 

Man, Korver is almost unplayable at this point. 

Giannis letting them know right now... 

Giannis at 19 points with 7 minutes left in the second. Dominating, but still 2-4 from the line. 

It’s the ROLO SHOW TONIGHT!!!! 

Great half by the Bucks. Up 17 at the break. 

Giannis with 21 points in 13 minutes. Robin Lopez 3 of 4 from deep. 

11 guys played and everyone contributed positively with the exception of Korver, who played 6 minutes.

Korver may still be top 5 in the league on wide open 3 pointers, but as soon as he has to put the ball on the flor, he's a turnover waiting to happen and he's a liability on defense. It will be interesting to see how they decide to use him in big games (Sixers, Celtics, etc.) and down the road in the playoffs. Can you get away with playing a guy at the end of quarters only when you have the last offensive possession? 

Mmmmm, Rolo....

Let's see them put the hammer down in the third quarter and get up by about 25 and let Dragon Bender and Frank Mason get some extended minutes. 

Bucks playing confidently and really taking it to then... 

Giannis could score 50 tonight if he'd play enough minutes. He's got 25 in 17 minutes. Let's hope he gets to watch the whole 4th quarter from the bench. 

The Giannis FT issues are still there, although I feel like complaining about the fact he shoots 58% from the line is like someone complaining that their wife won't mow the lawn when she's a gourmet cook and looks like a supermodel.

Giannis has 4 months to get the FTs figured out. If he's still in the 50s in terms of percentage then, then the Bucks have a big problem. But maybe it's better he's having the issues now so he can work through them. 

Giannis is at 26 points and 9 rebounds in 20 minutes of playing time. Bucks up 25 with 15 minutes of game time left. 

If the leads stays at 25 or so at the start of the 4th, do you put him back in to get another rebound? 

Harden has 48 points with 7 minutes left in the 3rd quarter in Rockets game tonight. 

Up 26 starting the 4th. 

Looks like Giannis' double double streak is over. Nice way to end it, relaxing on the bench after going 26/9/4 in 20 minutes. 

Bucks up 35 with 9 minutes left. 

Dragen Bender looks like Mirotic-Light. Smooth looking shot, seems to move the ball well, can't guard anyone. 

Bucks rained the 3 tonight... and all it took was for BLopez to sit for a night! 

Love the Giannis line tonight...

😁 Great analogy. Made me laugh.

Double Double streak might be over but it shows he doesn't care about that shit 

Bet he cares more about the Bucks 100 pt streak. What is it now? 43 games in a row?

Pretty impressive win on short rest and a quick turnaround

Meanwhile Harden stays in the game in the 3rd with a 48 point lead to ensure he pads the stats. 31 minutes for Harden to get his 61 points. I hope people see him for the fraud he is..
