Time to carry over that good energy and the good habits on both ends. Move the ball, communicate on defense. Good things generally happen.

Meme him all you want, Doc's post game presser was refreshing.

This is good, I like this.

I see and appreciate what Dame is trying to do when his shot isn't falling by trying to get to the rim and/or line. I'd love to see a breakdown of film but it sure seems from my eye test that he's not getting some calls on contact going to the rim. We need him to keep shooting, his outside shot falling makes us so dangerous. Keep shooting Dame!

The media circus this last week has been a blessing. This team is going to play with a chip on its shoulder the rest of the way and we got a lot of nobody believes in us mojo right now.

I thought the decision to not use the foul to give on Minnesota's last possession was an interesting one. I do think it was a decision, Giannis had opportunities to foul Conley and didn't. I thought they'd foul, especially since Minnesota didn't have any timeouts. But the obvious risk is that they get into a quick shooting motion and that would be Minnesota's best chance to tie the game. They played really good defense on the play, they made Minnesota use more than 4 seconds before they got a shot off and Ant didn't have a terrible look but it was still a contested 3 over a 7'1 guy. And even if he'd made it, you're up 2 with ~3 seconds left and they don't have any timeouts.

I remember the Packers struggling quite a bit it their Rodgers SuperBowl win year. I think all the crap the players are having to fight through with Grief's incompetence, and all the changes they have to absorb is only going to make the team stronger during the playoffs. Hard times make strong men.

Heckuva total team defensive performance, from game plan to execution. Dame just needs to understand that some nights he’s not going to get a favorable whistle and adjust his game accordingly. He did just that in the second half. Giannis played a nearly flawless game. Happily deferring to Dame, impacting the game as a distributor, and when called upon ultimately getting his anyway. Doc managed the rotations and timeouts about as well as he could have. Fun watch.

The Bucks struggled quite a bit in our championship season.

113.2 which is 11th since Doc took over and would fall ~ 10th across full season.

Offensive rating is 112 which is ~ 24th. With Giannis/Dame on the court it's 119. They're bleeding without both on and 3p% overall has dropped. Need Khris back and they could really take off if the D holds, and it seems sustainable.

I really enjoyed how crowder defended KAT. He was aggressive and in his space most of the game. Kat is such a finesse player, he couldn't punish crowder with size/strength.

Pat C looked playable and active. Bobby sucked at defense like always but was effective enough offensively that he was worth playing. In general, the role players actually contributed.

I think the Bucks are one of the few teams who can match up with Minnesotas size and physicality.

10th over that stretch 113.2
8th since firing AG at 112.5

Jae’s best defending the 4. He’s quick enough to not give them space and strong enough to hold his own inside.

This was the game that finally made me get off my "KAT is the big swing trade in case things don't work out" stance. I've been converted. Dude isn't and never will be a winning player.

When Rudy Gobert was at the line I started counting. I was the only one. I wanted to be loud enough to be on TV but I don't think I was.

I made it to 8 seconds.
