Bledsoe out two weeks

 

It looks like a good time for Donte and Frank Mason to step up. Maybe this is the opportunity for Mason to show he can be a true NBA backup point guard on a championship caliber team.

Doncic rolled an ankle and has a sprain. Likely will miss mondays game against the bucks. Happy that it makes the game easier, but disappointed that we miss the challenge.

That's honestly disappointing. Was looking forward to seeing that kid play.

Probably faked it, cuz he didn't want Giannis to throw a basketball at his face.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nobody helping Giannis tonight. Pretty disappointing when you consider the Mavs without Doncic are really beatable.

[brooks_quichenick]

Porzingis burying back to back threes from Madison just to twist the knife in. Shots not falling at all aside from Giannis and Korver, Middleton and Lopez especially.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Made it interesting at the end.

[adambr2]

Brook, Sterling and Middleton were just invisible tonight.

 

I think the $178M contract to Middleton is going to look absolutely brutal in a few years. I get that you want to give Giannis every reason to stay, but Khris just disappeared tonight. Disappointing.

[stalton]

I have to say, there wasnt any quit in the team tonight

[adambr2]

Yeah it was bound to end at some point. Maybe it'll help against the Lakers by taking some pressure off

[nate82]

I think the Bucks missed Bledsoe's defense last night as Curry was getting into the lane and causing problems.

[Baldkin]

6-34 from 3, outside of Korver. Abysmal.

 

Can't complain about 24-4 though.

[Baldkin]

 

Probably not, but it sure felt like Van Vleet did last year.

 

He was 14/17 over the last 3 games.

[nate82]

Is it just me or has Brown massively improved defensively this year?

[homer]

Bucks match up well with Lakers...so far anyway. Lakers don't shoot threes very much at all and the Bucks are elite at defending in the paint.

[adambr2]

I love that this team is extremely cognizant of trying to get last possession of a quarter. You constantly see them either fast or slow playing possessions in the last minute knowing where they want to be on the clock for their possession.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Bucks are the best team in the NBA this year. By every metric, by record, and by the eye test, they are the best team. This is the year. Not counting the chickens before they hatch there's a long way to go to the finish line, and injuries can still happen, for right now this is the best team in the league.

I want to say I heard on a broadcast, a couple games ago, he is the number 1 rated defender is the league, but I'm not positive i heard corectly.

True last season as well. They just need to play that way throughout the playoffs, hoping that experience last year will help.

I'm still worried about this team especially after the Mavs lost. The Max $177M Middleton has been disappointing as he does not provide the team with enough scoring in tight/tough games. I think the Bucks could have big problems in the playoffs as we have an inadequate second star in Middleton.

 

Great win against the Lakers tonight, best record in the NBA. The Bucks have been an excellent regular season team, but the finals are much tougher games as we've seen last season, the Bucks may need better offense to win the championship.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Midds is averageing 24 points per 36 minutes. He's only out there about 27 mpg, as the Bucks are blowing everyone out, they don't really play the starters a lot of minutes.

 

They lost one game and we're using that as the measuring stick? IDK... the Bucks have the highest PPG in the NBA, and the #2 offensive rating. Something tells me that their offense is probably OK.

[Mr Southpaw]

A couple of thoughts on the Laker game.

 

1.Is Wes Mathews that good on defense or is LBJ losing it a little? I think a little bit of both.

2. I love the Bucks team defense. Man do they protect the paint.

3. Great players step up. The freak is getting freaky.

Wes Mathews is a VERY good on ball defender. Watch him against Kawhi a couple weeks ago - shut him down fairly well. Could be the difference in a playoff series.

 

As others have said, this team is special. Stay healthy and they're going to be exceptionally difficult to beat in a 7 game series.

[adambr2]

Outside of Korver, our shooters went cold against the Mavs. They also have a very good team. It happens. We weren't going to win every game the rest of the season, hard to be too bummed about one game.
