Nets at Bucks for two

Bucks up 6. Giannis absolutely eats up Durant - blocks his shot - right to Irving for 3.

And then Holiday misses two FTs. A complete choke.

Are you fukking kidding me? Bucks up 3 with 29 seconds and 24 seconds on the shot clock. Middleton dribbles at the top, ends up almost getting picked clean, and ends up having to shoot a 35 footer.

Nets ball with a chance to tie.

Just terrible execution

Bucks hold on

I liked the group out at the end.  No Lopez and Tucker was in.  Didn’t cate for the Middleton shot but hey they closed it out for a change defensively.

I really, really wish Middleton would stop this. Giannis too. This is not your game. Stop pretending you’re a “break my man down at the end of games” guy and give the ball to the one guy who can... Holiday. High P&R with Giannis, Work off how they play it. They go under, Holiday shoots. They fight through the screen, Giannis dives. If they bring help on either, force them to do it with Middleton’s man on that side of the floor, and he’s wide open catch and shoot. They overplay anything send Giannis to the rim with a lob.

Jim Paschke Announces 2020-21 Will Be His Final Season

35 years. I was a teenager when he settled in on the TV broadcasts. I remember Jim Irwin on the radio, too.

Jim Irwin was always on the radio. At one point he was going Bucks, Packers, Badgers basketball, and Badgers football. It was either Bob Uecker or Irwin almost every night.

Yup... loved Jim- a WI staple. I remember Earl Gillespie for Badger football.

Bucks missing makeable shots...

I loved Jim Irwin....and when Max McGee was his side kick, it was MIST LISTEN  RADIO.  LOVED THEM BOTH SO MUCH.......now love Matt LePay almost as much.  

Giannis sending another loud message tonight...

He's going to leave because the Packers got rid of Kumerow?

Giannis picks up his third foul when Durant gets a call. That might be a game changer.

The killer was the Blake Griffin flop that he got on Giannis.

He was upset but then they signed his brother for 4 million guaranteed and that made up for it.

That was a stupid play... Durant is going to get that call every time. Giannis can't just plow into the lane thinking he's going to get the benefit against a star player.

Looks like another shootout.

The Bucks have to play the last 8 minutes of the second quarter without Giannis. The Nets can't guard him and the game plan seemed to be to try to draw offensive fouls on him rather than actually guard him. If the Bucks are not down double digits at the half it will be a surprise.

Right... that was their adjustment. Take charges...

Wheres Holliday? If Giannis is on the bench he should be out there.

Need to play smarter... box out, idiots...

What’s wrong with Holiday. He’s looked off for a few games now.

He started getting going in the 1st q, but he sat right away. He’s letting Giannis and Middleton kinda do their thing. They need him to get going, though...

Bucks held up well and extended the lead with Giannis sitting.

Having Forbes out there taking those open shots instead of DDV is a gigantic difference. It's just whether Forbes shooting can make up for his defense. DDV's shooting isn't enough to make up for his above average defense right now.

Pretty good half- Giannis’ three almost went in at the end. If Giannis is going to be this good from the floor, this league is fucked. He’s elevating his game. A message being sent...

I see he’s actually played well today. I started watching late in the first.

Giannis with a little dream shake...

4 on Lopez...

As good as Middleton was on Sunday, he just doesn't have it tonight.

That sequence was the most DDV sequence ever. An acrobatic defensive rebound, almost trip coming out of it, gather yourself, and then fall over and turn the ball over on an out-of-control drive to the basket.

These Aaron Rodgers State Farm commercials are going to be interesting this coming year.

Unfortunately, this looks like it's going to be one of those Kyrie Irving 40 point games.

How is that a foul on Tucker? In what universe is that a foul?

How is that a foul on Tucker? Good fucking grief...

How in the fuck does Blake Griffin get that bullshit call???

Irving and Durant are 9 for 12 from 3 and on pace for 80 points.

If the officials are calling that bullshit, the game is fucked. It’s despicable- this flailing around bullshit and flopping and “tricking the officials” shit is RUINING THE GAME!

Just isolate a guard on Lopez - it's a open 3 every time.

That's why he's so frustrating. He hustles his ass off, is a great rebounding guard, makes great moves in space, and usually just can't finish (and even when he does it's a shot like that last one - that almost rolls out).
