most championship teams have had an "enforcer" or someone that makes you wonder if they are about to chop your legs out from under you. Its good to have the other team thinking about those things. Most of the time that player is respected or feared. Not chastised like Grayson Allen is. People only feel free to take shots at grayson and hate him because he looks like ted cruz.

&%$@ you’re right. Dammit why did you point this out!?

lol its true.

Every other dirty player is oddly respected if they win, like Grayson wins.

I think it's a Duke thing too, which I've never really understood.

Regarding our bench, when Middleton comes back and if Grayson can stay hot, this is huge because other than Bobby, we didn't really have anyone last year that could come off the bench and consistently start draining threes. This team at full strength is better than last year's Bucks.

Nah, I don't see it. I just can't discount what PJ Tucker meant to last year's team. I do agree that their backcourt is better and can shoot better than last year's team, but I also think Donte being out really hurt the overall perception of last year's group.

One thing I take in consideration in addition to Grayson is that believe it or not, Giannis has improved his game...by a lot. His free throw shooting is no longer a liability and has added more shots to his game. Jrue Holiday also had a horrendous playoffs from an offensive standpoint last year. He is now on. Definitely miss what Tucker gave us but I think the Bucks have made up for that in additional offense, and it will really be apparent when we play against better defenses in the upcoming rounds.

LaVine entered the health and safety protocols. That won't help the Bulls not having him.

I could just watch Steph Curry shoot 3’s all day. Just one of the prettiest thing in sports.


$%@# the Celtics

Celtics series should be a damn good series. I like the winner to represent the East in the finals.

They kind of have a nice little rotation going now. This might actually work out better than trying to cram Middleton back into things. He has really cooled off with his shooting down the stretch. I like how Grayson played in that Chicago series, not only as a shooter, but his ability to attack the rim created a lot of offense. They will definitely miss Middleton's length and defense against Boston. Should be a fun series. I definitely think they need to steal one of the first two.

I would agree with u if the bucks were playing the bulls again. The nice little rotation might not work in this series. Celtics are a completely different animal.

The Greek dude is amazing. I wish more superstars would stay in small markets. Mad respect for that guy.

They didn't.

My large concern is the way they are defending Giannis. I still think the Bucks have enough to win because the Celtics aren't going to continue to shoot historically well from the 3 point line. But this is definitely something to watch.

I like the fact that on Sunday, 3% was 35.3% us vs 36.0% them, and we beat them soundly.

Tuesday, we were 16.7% on 3's and they were 46.5%, neither of which are sustainable, and they beat us (obviously off that stat) soundly.


Little regression to the mean on both sides, like where that is leaving us.

Agreed. And Giannis should find his rhythm too.

yeah celtics showed they have some fight in them. Good for them. I thought after game one, the Cs might have just been overrated after whipping the Nets. Game 3 will be huge.

#BucksIn6

Just heard a Stat on the radio that the Bucks give up the most wide open 3's in the league at 20 a game.

It’s defensive strategy. What that stat doesn’t tell you is the Bucks are really good at letting the guy they want to shoot get that look and not the guy/s the opponent would prefer.
