Spartacus Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Man this team can be fun/frustrating/fun/frustrating to watch. In any one quarter they can score under 20 or 50 points. You just never know what the heck they are going to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 So I may have over exaggerated on that loss to the Grizzlies. Not a bad loss at all by the looks of things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Quote 1. Milwaukee Bucks Last Week: 1 Slow starts continue to plague the Bucks, who had to claw back from 17 points down to beat the Nuggets by a final of 104-98 on Monday. On the year, Milwaukee, which owns the NBA's top net rating by plenty, has been outscored in the first quarter. Giannis Antetokounmpo spurred the comeback against Denver by basically dunking every time he touched the ball, working his way into close range and then simply rising up over his defender for a quick-twitch spike. Mason Plumlee turned away one such attempt but only after getting absolutely annihilated a few moments earlier. That Giannis is capable of backing down an opposing center, turning and dunking on his head remains difficult to process. It's a no-frills approach that feels an awful lot like what Shaquille O'Neal used to do...only Antetokounmpo uses strength and shiftiness to embarrass defenders. His physical prowess makes games like Wednesday's—33 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists in a 43-point bludgeoning of the Blazers—the expected result. The Bucks are broadening the chasm between themselves and Toronto. Though it remains early, Milwaukee is also still on pace to set a new record in Basketball Reference's simple rating system metric, which factors in margin of victory and strength of schedule. We're way past wondering if the Bucks are serious contenders. They've been historically good so far.

Spartacus Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Screwed by the refs but what a piss poor couple of possessions to end the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Also Lopez has been a great player for us so far but this was one piss poor showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Take a 6-point lead and then worry more about getting Lopez a three than actually winning the game. First truly bad loss of the season. After going up 114-108 you play through Bledsoe and may have legit gone five straight possessions without Giannis getting a touch. Real frustrating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 And I’m just entirely baffled by what Khris thought he was doing with .8 left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Why did Lopez keep shooting 3s when he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn? How many did he miss, 12?!? Yikes. We really didn't deserve to win that game playing like that. I hope this is a lesson for them to NEVER underestimate an opponent. How many times do we see a good team fall to a lesser one like we did last night when you don't bring your A game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Just ugly two days in a row. The refs calling ticky tacky bull**** on the bucks doesnt help. DeRozan is the king of the flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
