PREVIOUSLY, THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS...lost 105-90 to Boston on Saturday night. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Bucks. Said streak began in the game wherein they lost Andrew Bogut for the season and included two road victories (@Chicago and @ Philadelphia, but still). Imagine the Hawks without Al Horford and grant respect accordingly.

The Hawks and Bucks have split their two meetings this season with the home team winning narrowly both times. The Hawks beat the Bucks 106-102 in overtime in Atlanta on February 28th and the Bucks returned the favor 98-95 in Milwaukee on March 22nd.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
