23-9 start... wow!
Bucks start 27-14, shoot 11/14. Since? 3/21, and now they're down 8. Wtf...
4 for their last 24
Warriors on 50-17 run since the Bucks were up 27-13...
Wow... GS completely undressing the Bucks now. 76-49.
Tough to have to face GS on the 2nd night of a back to back on the road.
Bucks f*cked around long enough in the 3rd to let Portland back in the game...
Unraveling now... down 3 after having control most of the game.
Big time finish!!!! They bring in Henson in the final 2 minutes and he makes all the difference. Giannis with a pair of clutch blocks in the final minute, but Henson protecting the rim and getting a putback and the Bucks finish on a 6-0 run to win!
3-2 road trip and SActo tomorrow on a huge back to back. Finish the trip 4-2 and you can really build that momentum for the home stretch... great win tonight!!!
Bucks play about even through one, but carpet bomb the Kings in the second quarter with 3s. Teletovic, Terry, Hawes, Brogdon, Middleton just bombs away from 3 as the Bucks hit 16/24 in the second quarter...
Giannis has 22-9-5 at the half on 9/13 shooting. Everything he has scored on has been at the rim. 61% overall at the half and 50% from 3.
Up 69-50 at the half and a chance to end this road trip emphatically! Lets go!!!
Cooled off some there in the 3rd, but still up 90-75. Gotta finish...
Now above .500 for the first time since January 15th, they're in the 6th spot, and they've won 10 of 12.
6 guys in double figures, and Giannis hits 30 for the 16th time this season.
Cannot let up... you have the team ahead of you in the 5th spot at home Friday... beat them and tie them for the 5th spot. Big opportunity on Friday night...
Nice road trip. Was thinking they would be good with a split so 4-2 is a nice surprise. Good to see them playing with such grit lately.
Good job not letting LA keep Koombo.
This team is an absolute pleasure to watch when they commit defensively. Middleton was the missing link. The BUCKS NEEDED AN ELITE SHOOTER. Too bad they lost Parker when Middleton returned.
Yeah- he is the lynchpin. And as Giannis grows and Parker develops, they really can become a team to reckon with.
Giannis, Brogdon, Middleton, and Parker form as deep a young core as any in the league.
If Thon Maker can emerge as the mini-Garnett he may be capable of being, this could be a real contender.
KG said that he'll be a league MVP before it's over... think about that for a second. If that even remotely becomes true, Lebrons reign over the EC ends...
KG has done a lot of work with Maker and he's the wildcard. If Thon can make the next leap in his progression this is a damn good team.
Love Garnett maybe the Bucks can hire him in some capacity as he is The Godfather of the Giannis and Maker type position.
Bucks need to make shots... down 1 with 8:31 to go...
How about that??? Brogdon and Moose with the P&R on back to back for big baskets, Middleton the clutch FTs and the Bucks are in the 5th spot... wow!!!
Bucks win
Middleton struggled but D was clutch in the end and Giannis with a monster game
Nice
Bucks letting the Bulls do whatever they want tonight...
Trap game and they fell right in it...
Bulls shooting the lights out
This would be a bad loss
Was thinking of heading to the BC today . Glad I didn't make the effort....Bucks didn't either.
Any other time, I'd shrug my shoulders and say "It was their night." But honestly, we had seen this movie before. They just thought the Bulls would roll over after the Bucks were up 12, and they avalanched them. And the Bulls gave plenty of good looks from 3- the Bucks simply could not hit them.
They have 9 games left, and the schedule is not easy down the stretch. They have 2 road games against the Celtics, road games against the Pacers, OKC, Philly, and Charlotte, and home games against Charlotte, Dallas, and Detroit. Last night's bs needs to be a one time deal... 4 games separate 5 from 10...
Bucks Win Bucks Win
Snell with a big game and Brogdon was pretty decent as well
How awesome is that??? Snell starts the game with a baseline stuff... needed that win! 72 in the first half??? Wow!
Need to stack 'em, though...

Brogdon great in the clutch tonight. Giannis, not so much.
Big time win though. In Boston against the current #1 seed.
Even though Giannis didn't hit in the clutch, think about the fact that a 22 point, 9 rebound, 3 assist, 3 block night is now somewhat of an off night.
Yeah, he seemed a little off on offense, but he does so much more.
The Bucks could cause trouble for any team they play in rd. 1. I think I'd love to face the Raptors without Lowry, but if he's back.. their best matchup might be Boston because they do not rebound well.
Yeah, it seems like so much of what they do is predicated on Thomas and their spot up shooters, the Bucks really took them out of the game last night. Of course they whittled the lead down, but they're no juggernaut.
When Brogdon is playing this well, they really are scary for anyone except Cleveland. But as far as matchups, I still like Washington- and as much as you fear that Wall would really hurt the Bucks, their supporting cast doesn't scare me. Toronto is a different team without Lowry, and if he's out they won't win their opening series.
Honestly I don't think anyone wants to face Milwaukee.
Sure, they could get beat by Brooklyn or Minnesota or Philly just as easily but when focused and motivated they have proven they can beat the best teams in the league.
It's entirely possible they could rise up and compete and even win a series depending on the matchup.
Part of me actually wants to see them face the Cavs in round 1. If you are going to face them get them early.
The Celts matchup would be favorable due to the size and length of the Bucks players. Boston is very good but as we saw the other night the Bucks can play them straight up on D and guys like Brogdon and Delly can give the Boston backcourt fits.
I don't like the Washington and Toronto matchups nearly as well although if Lowry isn't healthy that's a big problem for the Raptors.
Vaughn looks like the type of player the Bucks often had to play big minutes when they sucked. They really miss Brogdon.
