Bucks 2020-2021 season thread

[PinaMadness]

Is Milwaukee the home of bad contracts?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Robinson "what?!?!"

[adambr2]

Get a break on a flagrant foul and get 1 whole point off the whole sequence. Nice job, guys.

[DuWayne Steurer]

What a dumb way to lose a game. Miss a dozen free throws

[nate82]

Thank God for Middleton there!

[adambr2]

I can't believe they won this game.

[owbc]

Stole one, and probably will sweep from here.

[PinaMadness]

So the Bucks barely hang on to win in overtime on a day where Jimmy Butler played one of his worst games of his career. I don't have any confidence they can win this series.

[nate82]

Jrue and Middleton with the save!

I mean, we shot like 16% from 3. I would hope we can do a little better too.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Still say bucks in 6. It's not like the heat are gonna lay down. they're a tough team.

Yeah but that's pretty much par for the course for the Bucks in the playoffs. My mentality about this team is pretty much "I'll believe it when I see it".

[SeaBass]

Giannis has been just about useless (on offense) unless dunking today, even layups were questionable.

 

They were terrible from 3, Giannis was far from his best but the Heat on their own merit never really worried me today. The Bucks miscues kept the Heat in the game, that should have been over in regulation. You'd think if they play a little better they should be able to control the series. Maybe the Heat feel like they had a down game also, hard to tell.

I can't believe they called that 10 second violation on Giannis at that point in the game. My response when that happened was NSFW.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Butler and Bam shot horrible. Giannis didn't shoot well and was super unclutch from the line, and the whole team shot like butt from 3.

 

In the end, glad they got away with the win.

There was a so obvious lane violation on Miami on that play too. I don't understand how you call the 10 which is never called if you're also not going to call the lane violation which is never called too.

Exactly! I mean they haven't called it all regular season and pick THAT occasion to do it? I'd be curious to see if the refs warned him they were going to call it because it didn't seem like a large amount of uproar surrounding it.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I was actually happy about the 10 second call. Start calling it and he'll stop taking 30 seconds.

[areacodes]

There is a time and place to call him for 10 seconds. It isn’t when he gets the free throw off just a touch after 10 seconds after a lane violation occurs.

[Pugger]

Maybe if he doesn't screw around bouncing the ball, etc., and just shoots he might have more success at the line. His present routine isn't seem to be working. (Perhaps he is over-thinking this. He can't be any worse.) If he could shoot 65% that game most likely doesn't go into in OT.

Well his season average is higher (68.5%) than that. He had a poor free throw shooting game but he was below normal for pretty much everything yesterday… it happens, players have bad games. Post All-Star game - so 26 games this year - he’s shooting 72.5% from the line. I think pretty much everybody would take that from him, so the way he does it can work just fine.

[young guns]

I was just upset when he got the rebound and they didn't foul him right away, towards the end of regulation, he didn't seem to be trying to get the ball into someone else's hands.

I guess LeBron violated the league’s COVID protocols by attending a promotional party for a tequila brand.

 

[sarcasm]I’m sure the commissioner will suspend him any minute now.[/sarcasm]

Bucks office to a fast start, looking good. Extremely early though and this is the NBA.

[SeaBass]

Bucks lead 46-20 after 1 quarter. Three point shooting clicking tonight.
