Bucks hosting a bad Pistons team tonight. Middleton sitting for load management with a back to back coming up in Indiana tomorrow.
It would be nice to see a dominant performance by the Bucks to see some Thanasis garbage-time minutes in a win, but we've seen no evidence that the Bucks defense is functioning at a high enough level to accomplish this. The back-to-backs against the Pistons and Pacers would be a good time to start showing some improvement in that area.

Giannis 3 of 12 from the floor, and 3 for 6 from the line. 9 points in the first half.
Dame is 3 for 8, 0 for 3 from 3, 7 for 7 from the line, 13 points.
Bobby Portis has 16.
Bucks are 4 for the 17 (23.5%) from 3.
Bucks up 62-52. I was looking for better against this scrub team.
Giannis ejected on a ridiculous call. Bucks only up 6 and in deep trouble without Middleton as well.
Lead down to 2. Could be a very bad loss mostly due to some ridiculous officiating.
Bucks behind.
Unbelievable.
Lilard 4 for 14.
He is going to eventually get it going….right?
Every Superstar has a bad game.
They are going to win right??
Swept season series from Pistons 4 of last 5 years
Bucks now down 8 and going to get worse.
They've completely fallen apart after Giannis got ejected. Given up 43 points in the 3rd, but almost after Giannis left (35 points in 7 minutes).
If the Bucks fall behind further in the 4th and fall further behind, Griffin needs to make a statement and get tossed. One of the most ridiculous ejections you will ever see.

No. They are missing Giannis and Middleton
Almost out of contact. Down 8 and Pistons ball.
Down 10.
The Giannis ejection was fucking ridiculous. I mean, really? Shaq would have been ejected 100 times for that.
Shame on you NBA.
Lillard misses a technical FT.

The official, Scott Twardowski, has a history with both Giannis and Thanasis.
I'd love to see Giannis or Griffin just say the officiating was atrocious in the post-game. Screw the fine.
The officiating crew just blew a 24 second call in the Pistons favor with 4 minutes left. Just ridiculous.
Lillard stinking the place up right now when they need him to take over.
2 for 10 from three
Lopez big shot!
Lopez from about 35 feet! 🥳😲🤯
Bucks come back to take a 4 point lead, but then promptly play terrible defense off of a timeout and give Cunningham a wide open 3. Lillard misses a three, then Lopez blocks Cunningham on a drive. Crowder then misses a FT with the Bucks up 1 with 3.9 seconds left.
Pistons with a shot to win down 2.
Pistons blow the inbounds play after Crowder pokes the pass away and the Bucks hold on.
We escaped with a win against a 2-7 team.
Fuck the Pistons and even more so fuck the refs. They need an investigation. These officials did everything in their power to try to fuck Milwaukee over.
Really want to see Giannis' post-game press conference. Giannis got two technicals and ejected for this.
What a special last 2 minutes.

Without Giannis and Middleton. The Giannis ejection should be something the official should be subject to NBA discipline for. The NBA is worried about fans missing stars playing for load management and then this idiot referee ejects Giannis for that? That type of reaction after a dunk happens across the NBA 10 times a quarter.

The ejection makes that close win a good win.
Well, Giannis will be rested for the back-to-back tomorrow. I'm guessing he'll be fairly fired up for tomorrow night's game.
