Commitment to defense is one thing. When Shabazz Muhammad hits 4/5 threes and had his season high by halftime, and they're beating you down the floor time after time off makes and misses, your defense is why. Thibodeax saw something in film and exploited it. Then the Bulls did the same thing to them last night only they couldn't sustain it when the Bucks started attacking their old/slow frontcourt. 

 

We've seen when they are focused and motivated this team is scary good.  But they have to bring it every night.   Seems like that's the mark of a young team- inconsistency. 

Losing Delladova is a blow but Brogdon stepped in and played really well.  Kid is just steady - he doesn't make a lot of dumb rookie plays and while is not great at anything he's pretty decent overall. 

Have been able to catch several games so far this season. Really impressed with how this team seems connected to each other. Other seasons it seemed they were just going through the motions with zero passion.  These guys really seem engaged, and it's not just youthful exuberance, it's also coming from guys like Beasley, Delly, Telly, and even Monroe.

They have the juice to beat the best teams in the league. Now if they can learn to clean up the slop it will get them a much higher seed. 

Damn that was a fun game to watch. Bucks played hard the entire game....they obviously get up for the better teams.

Brogdon does not play like a rookie. Really like this kid.

Getting contributions from a large part of the roster is key to consistency. It's not just about Giannis, Jabari, etc....getting key minutes from Monroe, Beasley, Snell, Delly, Brogdon, etc...it's happening.  Nice roster. Adding a guy like Middelton makes this a team to reckon with. 

Even Thon got a couple of trips up and down the court 

The Maker playing time is intriguing... are the going to ease him in like they did Giannis his rookie year? I hope so. He won't get significantly better in practice- he gets better in the weight room and on the floor. I say get him in there for 15 minutes a game. 

Brogdon is a ROTY candidate. Changes the whole outlook of this team if he continues to get better.

Yeah, he needs to get a lot stronger, but exciting prospect. The team is better with Brogdon at the point than it is with Deli.

That 2001 team had little to no long term upside.  Not so much with this current team.   Plenty of runway ahead of them and quite honestly they are just scratching the surface at this point. 

We were all lamenting the loss of Middleton (rightfully so) but Brogdon and Snell have been great to compliment the two studs. 

This team reminds me of the OKC squad coming up with the big two and that's exciting.
