30 seconds to go in the half and the Bucks didn't even touch 40 points yet.

Disgusting.

Absurd that Giannis and Middleton have combined for 2 points. That's a huge indictment on both them and Coach Bud
Bud isn't out there going 1 of 11
No, but he seems to have failed in preparing his guys.

Eh. These players aren't children. Middleton in particular has a history of disappearing in big games (except against us, of course). At some point that's an indictment on the player.
That might be what's blinding me. My expectation of Middleton to morph into Michael Jordan seems to only belong in Celtic games

If I'm Milwaukee, I'm inquiring to Portland about a McCollum/Middleton swap. Both of them of 3 options miscast as 2nd options, but I think their skillsets would complement the other superstar better.
McCollum next to Holiday and DiVincenzo would be super interesting.

Do the Bucks suck that much or are the Nets literally a force to be reckoned with?

This series has been super disappointing so far. Hopefully the Bucks are just rusty, but they look terrible right now.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

The Nets are a force. They are unguardable. Nobody can stop them.

No matter how weak their defense is, their offense is better. They gain more on offense than they lose on defense by fielding an ultra-offense low-defense lineup. They can't be contained. Nobody can stop them. Not within today's NBA rule book.

However much of an advantage you think you have against their defense, you are at a larger disadvantage on defense against their offense.

Dunno why people give the Bucks more credit than the Celtics tbh.

Nets have 3 top 10 players. All 3 are kinda disliked for their off-the-court antics which might, for that reason, actually work. They're all used to controversies with the media so can find solace in that together.

But they're also, all three of them, literally the guys you want with the ball in their hands when you absolutely need a bucket.

It just kinda makes sense that it'd work out well.

But I suppose it's a 7 game series, I shouldn't be speaking like it's all done 'n dusted already.

Bring in the reserves.
