It's Minnesota week in the NBA and NFL, for Wisconsin sports fans. Schedulers must want to give Minnesota something to talk about. Always forced to prove themselves worthy of belonging, Minnesota sports teams look to Wisconsin sports teams, this week, so they can feel they are somehow equal to, or better than, their neighbors to the East. Yawn!

Bucks wearing their purplish uniforms. That must be confusing for any Minnesota fans.
The game is on Bally Sports North. About the only time the Bucks are on BSN, is due to them playing the TWolves. Betting TWolves announcers are calling the game.
This is looking familiar. Giannis has 10 points in the first 5 minutes. The rest of the team is 1 for 7 from the field.
Just got home. Holiday out again. Bucks should still be able to take them. Would be nice to get a double over mn this weekend.
It looks like teams have figured out you can run on the Bucks almost at will if Holiday isn't there.
So far, this is a pathetic performance.
Both teams have lost 4 games, in a row.
Bucks start 1 for 5 from three after going 31-117 the previous 3 games.
Bucks give up 34 first quarter points to a Wolves team missing KAT and Gobert.
Ingles can't guard anyone.
Wolves up by 1 at the end of 1.
Nice loop by Ingles to Giannis, for 2!
Lopez with 3 fouls,with 10 minutes left in the 2nd. Mamu coming in.
Grayson Allen can't even hit FTs at this point
Bucks 2-13 from 3
Reid with his 3rd foul
Bucks are 2 for 15 from three. If they hit even a third of those shots, this is a double digit game on the way to a blowout. Instead, they lead by 1.
Man the Bucks are missing Middleton.
How many 3s has Mamukalashvili made as a Buck?
Down 6, 2 for 18 from three, after making the first one of the night.
Ingles with another turnover.

It's like Giannis is playing against 5 man zones.
BSN putting a Minnesota Lottery "meme" on the court, in Milwaukee.
2 for 20 from three. Giannis, Portis, and Lopez are 13 for 21 from the field.
The rest of the team is 2 for 22.
2 for 22 on mostly wide-open shots.

"Giannis is playing too much hero ball"
2 for 22 from the wings on the team.
How the hell was that an offensive foul?
Down 13.
Playing AJ Green is like playing a Wisconsin Badger.
Portis is the team MVP so far this season
Down 11 at the half to a short-handed Wolves team.
3 for 22 from three.
Giannis at 22 and 9. Portis at 14-8.
14 points from the rest of the team at 5 for 28 from the field.

Portis has been good, but I think we sometimes lose track of how good Giannis is, even during a losing streak. He just had the 4th 45-20 game in NBA history. Because the Bucks guard play has been putrid, he's having to play 1 on 5 at times.
Down Middleton and Holiday, if you took Giannis off this team they would struggle to win G league games.
I dont disagree MP, but that's expected from Giannis. Portis is averaging a double - double for the season, and is probably the front runner for 6th man if the year.
I thought Ingles was supposed to be this great 3 pt shooter....
Guess I missed the previous ones.
Why do you leave AJ Green in for a defense-only possession at the end of the quarter?
Giannis at 37-16-3 after three quarters.
Ingles really provided some offense that quarter. I'm not sure he'll ever be playable against the Celtics or Nets, but he did look good.
Bucks getting sloppy...
Bucks start hitting 3s and it's now a blowout. With Giannis, almost no team is going to get as many wide open 3s as the Bucks.
Bucks get lead up to 16 and then stagnate on offense. Grayson Allen coming in for Ingles is what caused it.
Can't inbound hte fukking ball again. Down to 7
Down to 5 with 3 minutes. Bucks were up 17 against the Bulls in the 4th and lost. Up 16 here and down to 5.
