Just started. Giannis gets fouled and shoots 2 FTs. Matthews misses a wide open 3. Pretty much the typical start

Not sure I get the matchups- Middleton checking Holiday is a mismatch, and Ingram has 4-5 inches on Matthews. Should flip flop them.
If Sterling Brown and Ilyasova play, no trade.

Ersan already in
Bucks not calm and calculated on offense. Too frantic...
Once again, pick and roll defense costing them.
The all-white unit (DDV, Korver, R. Lopez, Connaughton, and Ersan) getting shredded. I hate this unit and don't get why you sit Middleton and Giannis at the first time in the first quarter. And you have three guys that struggle guarding on switches at the 3 point line.
Bucks down 7.

Ersan, R. Lopez, and Korver on defense at the same time is a problem
Connaughton with a brain fart costs 4 points.
C'mon Bud, this unit is just stupid.
Down 10. Sitting Giannis, Middleton, and Bledsoe at the same time is just dumb.
Bucks big 3 have 54 points on 20/31 shooting.
Ingram would look awfully nice in a Bucks uniform. His game has really come around.
15-1 run... Matthews with back to back arrows.
Did they just say the Bucks magic number to make the playoffs is 7? And if they achieve that they will have been the earliest in NBA history to clinch a playoff spot?
DDV has not been good tonight. Will have to close this out well.
Single digits - down to 7. Crappy offense mostly to give up 2/3rds of a 19 point lead. DDV out of control drive, Korver travel, Bledsoe missed 15 footer.
Get Giannis back in.
Bucks go with the bad offense/defense lineup, and as soon as the Pelicans starters come back in they go 9-2.

George Hill's absence makes a huge difference with that unit.
And then regular season Bledsoe gets two assists and a bucket on 3 straight possessions.
Bucks put the pedal down on defense in the second half.
A very good second half. Giannis still lacking a little burst. Giannis raises it a level in that second half.
Really like Ingram, he and Zion are a couple big time talents to build around. Zion was very much humbled tonight, but considering he's 19 and just getting his feet wet, he's an extremely young version of Charles Barkley with maybe even more upside than Barkley had.
