Giannis takeover in the 3rd. Him and Matthews and a mention for Planet Pat, gotta finish...

The question will be how long Bud can let him sit. They are up 7, but he has to rest him for at least 4 minutes in the quarter. He's already at 32 minutes. That's his usual total for the entire game.
Put Brown on the bench and leave him there...
As soon as they start missing, the Jazz start hitting...
Bud left Giannis out for 5 minute and the lead is back down to 3. I guess he can play the rest of the game now.
Brook Lopez continually to struggle on wide open looks.

Too many open looks.
Good work underneath by DD.
C'mon take control after this Utah TO
Why are they resting Giannis at this point? There are 2 minutes left.
WTF was that?
A pull up 3 by Bledsoe with 20 on the shot clock?
Why was Giannis on the bench? Is that 15 second rest really going to matter?
A very, very, very questionable substitution by Bud. Just puzzling.
Bledsoe at crunch time...not good
and Brook with the rejection!!!!

The offensive set didn't make any sense. Either post Giannis up or let him drive and kick. Why have Bledsoe initiate in that setting?
Oh... I thought they called a foul on López.
Giannis has hit 12 of his last 13 FTs and 3 of his last 4 3s.
Simply don't foul.....& You win

He’s completely gassed... that’s why he wasn’t the one with the ball there.
I'm glad Bogdanovic is in the West. He scared me more than Brogdon on the Pacers.
74 point 2nd half for the team from Cream City !!
Wow... Giannis with a 50-burger and they get another W despite a Utah franchise record 21 made threes...

I wanted him over Middleton...
Bucks are 14-3 and 13-1 in games where Giannis doesn't foul out. Giannis went for 50-14-6, yet there will be more discussion about Melo going for 25 against the Bulls and probably some more discussion about the mistake of letting Brogdon go.

On the offensive end yes, but not on defense.
They could have had Bogdanovic and Brogdon for the price of Middleton...
As nice as this winning streak has been, I still see some things that do make me worry just a tad that come playoff time some flaws can come back to bite them.
For as great as Giannis and Bledsoe are at attacking the paint, at times they both have such complete tunnel vision to get to the rack, I think some of the strongest teams can use that tunnel vision against them and sucker them both into turnovers and/or charges. I feel like at this time last year, the ball movement was better overall offensively, though they still are winning games at about the same pace as last season.
Defensively, they gave up too many wide open uncontested 3s in the Raptors series and I still see that a little bit too much this season as well. Their paint defense is fantastic which has made up for it, but boy, I really think the Bucks leave way too many guys wide wide open for easy 3s game in and game out. We're talking there's nobody even close to being in their face. That's a recipe for disaster once you start playing the very best teams out there. Heck, they easily could have lost last night to a Jazz team that didn't even have Gobert out there to protect the paint.
Certainly there's plenty of time to play better ball than they have so far, but I do worry that some of these bad habits they're developing now will still be there come playoff time and the teams they face at that time can take more advantage of it than some of the undermanned teams they've faced recently.
