Bucks come from 20 down at 74-54 and finish on a 12-3 run (the 3 a meaningless 3 at the buzzer by Butler) to win 102-96. 

Minnesota came in hot but on a back to back, and then shoot 4-19 in the 4th. Bledsoe lead the way with 26, including 6 big points on a 3 and an and-1 in the final run. Bucks didn’t lead until 95-93 off a transition 3 by Bledsoe (from Giannis off the break). 

Just a great effort, and hopefully a turning point heading into a very tough stretch of games...

Was at the game and for the first three quarters it was like a morgue in there and then Milwaukee came alive late keyed by their defense and Bledsoe.  The last 5 minutes were a lot of fun. 

Wolves are a decent team and this was an important win.  Coming back from 20 down was impressive.  They still gave up too many damn 3s but got the W. 

I think the fans are growing restless of Kidd and his "coaching".  Sat in the lower bowl on the Bucks side by bench and some fans were giving him the business not to mention numerous boos during the game.   

I still don't understand how this team can give up so many open 3s.  Yes they create turnovers by the double teams but I don't think they have to given their length and talent. 

What was encouraging to me was Delladova and Brogdon coming in to provide defense and energy.   Kidd has to realize that all the scoring in the world doesn't matter if you don't pressure the ball handler and contest shots.

Similar to the Cavs game a week ago they were up big only to hang on and win at the end on what looked like a questionable call

Tough to win in OKC but a win is a win at this point.   It doesn't get any easier Monday at Toronto but I didn't think they would win the last two nights either!  Let's go get the Raps. 

Raptors are quietly having a very good season.  No shame in losing to them on the road but need to take care of business at home on Friday. 

Good to see Thon Maker getting more minutes recently.  Not sure why they weren't playing him very much but you have to get him minutes so he can continue to develop.

 

Thon’s play is improving- you can see the talent. He goes through stretches where he’s overwhelmed, but when he’s locked in you can see the impact. Keep drinking those protein shakes, keep working on your game. It’ll come. 

The shrug-gate episode last week has Brogdon playing hard and aggressive now. Maybe Kidd is a motivational genius... but at least Malcolm is starting to resemble the player who won the ROY last year. 

They have a chance to make some hay this week- and Parker is practicing 5 on 5 with the Herd now. Parker won’t make them better defensively, but he’ll help rebounding and of course he can score (which he has apparently been working on the midrange jumper and 3s, which is scary). Those two things should help their defense and in turn create runs that seize control of games. Its what they did last night, and it’s what we should see when Parker returns...

I want Parker back but not until he is 100% - No reason to rush it. 

Curry took a MONTH off when he only needed 2 weeks.

Get fully healed then come back & start walloping fools

My guess is these “moves” that are rumored aren’t happening until Parker is back and they see how the team reacts. I think the outcome will be the same- they are too light in the ass to rebound effectively- but maybe they’ll avoid the offensive malaise they get into. They’ll certainly be more explosive.

More bull****.  This team cannot handle any type of success.  **** Kidd.  I am boycotting this team until they fire his useless ass.  Popovich coaches this team they might be a 1 or 2 seed in the East.
