3/20 - Bucks @ Cs - The Takeaways Game
- Thread starter DeJesus Built My Hotrod
- Start date
To be fair, the C's led by 18 heading into the fourth quarter, and the Bucks made it a two-point game.
‘Prospects looking bright for these Bucks’
‘Bucks are down by 10 games to the Cs’
what are they saying?

All the more reason not to really care about the outcome.
I was referring to the game being "nervewracking." This is playing with house money. I'm glad the Cs had a chance to work on a close game in the 4Q but the actual outcome doesn't matter. YMMV.
I watch the games because the outcome matters to me. it's a basketball game and I want my team to win
JB's D on Dame was actually great especially towards the end. Tatum is a closer.
That KP board and put back was huge. This was a gutsy win against legit competition. And I know Giannis is out but so too is Jrue.

Winza win. I like that Tatum just said, fuck this, I’ll take care of this myself. They don’t Giannis, but Jrue is kinda important for us, too. And Giannis being there doesn’t make Bobby Portis hit MORE ridiculous shots.
Good win. Even if self inflicted, the more close late games they can be in the better.
I like our chances with Jrue for us, Giannis for them.

Bucks were 45-84, with only 20 assists. It’s not like they were buzzing the ball around and putting the Cs in rotation. They just had a bunch good individual performances. Bucks hit everything and lost. Good for them.
Maybe took the foot off the gas a bit but the fact they were in blowout range at all in a clear letdown spot with Giannis out is impressive. Pretty much a wire to wire win. Bucks never had the ball with a chance to tie or lead after it was 12-10. Bug eyes hitting some threes doesn’t change that.
Yeah, I thought MIL played pretty well and as noted upthread, it seemed like they were really up for this game. The Cs played well in spurts. But I think everyone knows that even with Giannis, there's a talent gap.
Totally agree. Every time they get a decent second half lead and start walking the ball up the court I know it's going to be close at the end. Just play with the same urgency until the horn sounds!
I think Kornet's and Tillman's minutes will fluctuate significantly due to match-ups, but it feels like Hauser has made himself a key part of the rotation.

I mentioned in the game thread that you could hear the slap through the TV.
The ball never moved downward. Pretty amazing to get a clean slap on the ball and have it continue to travel upwards non-stop.
OR he hit the ball so hard it bounced off the ground so fast the human eye couldn't see it.
I think the key to the photo is the man staring right at it who isn't making the call. It's like mr Foster is put into any game that the NBA wants close.
As Jaylen said last night.. when asked about the change in how refs were calling the game after the ASB.. he thought allowing them to play was great, but that you couldn't then turn around and give one player touch fouls (ie Lillard getting a thousand calls late and Tatum getting absolutely hacked with no call). His answer was great because it basically said that the refs need to be consistent with calls the entire game especially if the NBA is going to encourage more physical play. It's impossible to not be physical with some players when you're being allowed to be far more physical with everyone else.
