Official Game Thread: Bucks "at" Hawks: the MLK Day Game!

[Watchman]

The refs ignored Giannis pushing off and called the foul on the contact afterwards.

[Peoriabird]

You knew the lead would balloon up to 10+ points once the Bucks decided to take the game

Big change tonight is Hunter pushing the ball up the floor if he gets it, instead of giving it to Trae.

OO has been outstanding on defense tonight.   He's giving Giannis fits when he tries to drive on him.

I've been begging for the wings to grab rebounds and push the pace.

[hawkman]

Hunter may be doing too much. 

[GameTime]

Hunter got to work on his handles. Trae has been off ball today more than i've seen in a while.

[JTB]

Guess no one is going to mention these two big turnovers from hunter huh.

 

it ain’t Trae so it’s ok…got it!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Nate has to resist the urge to take Okongwu out of this game, just because he's down by 10, and needs points.

If he comes with the Collins - Gallo - Hunter frontline, we may be dead, because neither Collins or Gallo can guard Giannis like OO can.

 

Please God . . . let Nate get creative JUST ONE TIME!!!

Yup and it just don’t work the way our fans want it to. Trae has been off hall a lot more these past 4 games and he’s not bringing the ball up nearly as often.

I was so wrong about Huerter.  Why did I think he was good?

He can be pretty good at times, but he's so up and down.....

No.. He is not consistent is just the beginning.

His defense is so bad

[Diesel]

Good news is that we're going to the Bonus.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Because the Hawks only have 6 points.  Trae will try to take over the game offensively.

And he already started with that brake check.

Do what you need to do Trae.   Live or die with your offense and playmaking.

Teammates need to play D.

Trae still may be not be 100% from that fall in Portland.  But no excuses.  He's out there, so he needs to make a few plays.

[Diesel]

When did Giannis get this good at Free Throws??

[Peoriabird]

Bucks taking it to the rim...Hawks don't do that

He's going to get roasted by the usual suspects for playing "hero ball". Calling it now.

Gallo!!!!!
