Bucks put up 50. 50 in the 1st quarter.
Wizards go 7-7 from 3 and still are down 15.
Serious question. Is the Bucks PA announcer the same guy that was doing it in the '80's?
Did Stanley Johnson score 30 in the first half? 
Don’t watch NBA much anymore, but they have 85 in the first half. Holy Schitt!
Calling a Flagrant 1 on Giannis is complete bullshit.
I guess Giannis is just supposed to stand there & not defend anymore.
NBA!

This years Bucks reminds me of mid 90s Packers.
Down to 15. Bucks getting sloppy, but Wizards allowed to hack Bucks at the rim with no calls this quarter.

If they hit 3s like this they can beat the Warriors
Getting really sloppy - not playing D giving away a turnover on the inbound.
Damnit I wish Beal was a Buck.
Giannis with 3-3 on 3's tonight. Keep it going! Don't quit. Lotta basketball to play yet.
Down to 11. Wizards may put up 50 in the third. At 35 with 4 minutes left
Getting really sloppy on both ends. Middleton a turnover machine...

To be fair, refs were allowing a lot of hacking by the Wizards. Bucks didn't get into the bonus and the Wizards were in it with about 5 minutes left.
Bledsoe!!! With the DAGGER dunk & the DOUBLE DAGGER THREE!!!
Darn. Only 148
Giannis with 43-6-4 with 3 steals in 31 minutes, and it just seemed like a normal game for him.
And he didn’t have to shoot the ball 35 times to get it...
Ho hum another dominant performance by Giannis
We are really spoiled
That no look pass to set Brogdon up for 3 was something that only guys like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson do. I think it's because of Coach Bud's system where guys have to get to specific spots on the floor. Giannis knows Brogdon is there without having to look.
The Bucks may win 60 games this year and yet when I was driving home last night I had ESPN national radio on which didn't even mention them in a discussion about how the Sixers acquisition of Harris affected the East. They mentioned how this would change matchups with Kawhi Leonard and whether the Sixers had anyone to guard Kyle Lowry. Then they shifted to talking about how the Celtics still had the guys to match up with the Sixers. After about 5 minutes, one host finally said - "Oh, we haven't talked about the Bucks" and co-host basically implied that they didn't matter.
Michigan, well that's ESPN's NBA coverage for you. In their world only the Warriors, Lakers, Celtics, and Knicks exist.
I would LOVE it if we got a Bucks vs. Jazz or Blazer final. ESPN wouldn't know how to handle that.
It's all good....Keep flying below the radar.
I assure you, the teams that matter know all about Milwaukee, even if the media doesn't. Think the players on Toronto don't know about the Bucks? Toronto lost to them THREE times this season. The 1 game Toronto did win, they were all out to beat the Bucks. The Bucks are a better team than Toronto. The Raptors are the 4th best team in the conference. The biggest challenge in the East is the Sixers (especially now with Tobias) & Celtics - always has been. 76'ers issue is consistency. They play up (or down) to their competition. Boston has been doing that this year too but they've been better recently.
Boston was really PO'd to lose to the Bucks earlier this year on 12/21 - I guarantee Boston will be ready to play later this month on the 21st.

I was reading I think on Twitter that the Bucks are on a 16-3 run since December 27th. In 2014, the Atlanta Hawks did the same thing- their run was 19-0, and it started in December about the same time.
The Bucks are now demonstrating their comfort in the system. The starters and key reserves all know where they’re supposed to be, and Giannis does the rest. And it’s the Giannis factor that the Hawks didn’t have- the unstoppable force on both ends that teams can’t answer. The Bucks rotation now is solid. It’ll get them to the ECF. But at that point, their role players will need to step up. Middleton wants to be the Robin to Giannis’ Batman, then don’t Dick around turning the ball over like you did last night. For every solid to even great pass for a dime, you get 3 or 4 turnovers. Cut that shit- post up, spot up, score. Know your *ucking role, Middleton.
And that no look by Giannis is the dime of the year... that was ridiculous. Fed between two defenders facing him and still put it right in the pocket for a wide open three... pure greatness.
