Heat starters are Love, Butler, Vincent, Herro and Adebayo. Bucks start with Giannis, Holiday, Allen, Carter and Lopez
Giannis looking really good driving to the hoop in transition.
Portis in and gets the crowd fired up with a lay up! BOBBY!!
Jae Crowder comes in and gets a huge ovation!
Giannis asked for a TO then left the court. Looked like he hurt his knee
Yo, mrtundra, you are an awesome play by play guy. 
Now we're back...Allen hits another 3.Carter drives the court, misses the lay up but Portis slams it home. Time out, Miami.
Giannis out, for the rest of this game,with a right knee injury sustained by knocking his knee on someone else's knee.
Just got home. Nice to see Crowder playing.
Heat are 3-13 from 3, this half. Bucks lead 73-56, at the half.
No Giannis and the Bucks still hang 73 on Miami in the 1st half. Good to see Portis back also.
Who would want to play with Tyler Herro? Very selfish player
The Bucks come out of the all star break looking like a team on a mission.
If they stay healthy the Bucks are going to be a very difficult out in the playoffs.
Allen nails Milwaukee's 16th 3 of the night.

I agree and especially if Crowder gets on track. Miami is supposedly a good defensive team. Not so much, tonight.
Bucks up 35 on a good Miami team. This is insane.
128-99 Bucks win their 13th in a row. Most of this win, without Giannis. Portis had 18 points off the bench.
What’s insane is Middleton and Giannis scored like 15 points combined and the rest of the team scored 100+ and blew out the Heat.
I don’t like the fact Giannis keeps getting dinged but honestly it’s Milwaukee, not Boston, that’s now the deepest team in the league. Lopez and Holiday are playing top notch. Portis, Allen, Ingles, Crowder, Pat C and even Carter are capable of giving you 12-15 points a night and they can all hit shots. Hell, the Green kid might not defend well but dude can shoot.

I think only Boston will have a chance to beat them in the playoffs. Don't underestimate how good Tatum is. He's basically about 95% of prime KD right now.
Depth is great for grinding out the regular season, but in the playoffs the rotation shrinks to about 8. If healthy, it's
Giannis, Middleton, Holiday, Lopez, G. Allen, Portis, Connaughton, and Crowder with cameos from Matthews and Jevon Carter depending on the matchups.
Lopez gets played off the floor in almost every game against the Celtics as does Allen, so you have to play Crowder/Matthews more minutes against Tatum and Brown. It may come down to whether the guys Bud has to use to body up Tatum and Brown (Crowder/Matthews) can hit enough open 3s against the Giannis wall for the Bucks offense to score enough points.
Tatum is playing well, no question about it. The difference now is with a healthy Middleton and Crowder and Matthews they can throw multiple defenders at him and unlike last year Tatum and Brown will actually have to play defense. That’s why having Middleton is so important. You can’t leave him alone and same deal now with Crowder.
If the Bucks end up playing Boston I would imagine Allen and Carter and to some extent Lopez will play less minutes.
Good insight, you people ( TM).
Anybody know why Connaughton didn't dress last night?
