They were #2 last year in the East last year well before Irving was even injured. So much of last year was that crazy streak to start the year. I do like this years team more, lot more talent. On the flipside they haven't shown the D they did last year. Like will Stevens start Baynes in the playoffs if we play the Raptors or Sixers? That is what I am saying, the D is there it is just taxing to put in that kind of effort all season. I think they will turn it up. And yes Baines is needed against some teams. Surprised they haven't signed someone like Kanter, too late there. Problem with the NBA is you can’t just turn it on - if you aren’t a top 3 seed, kiss your finals chances good bye.

The C's already play good D, they have shown they can play great D so it is just turning it up. They will get the three seed and win on the road when they need to, starting tonight. They will be in the finals but lose to the Warriors, dependent on injuries of course. Just my opinion.

Thank you for letting us know it was your opinion; I thought you and Doc Brown got the almanac and brought it back. Was about to bet heavy. 😂😋

LOL just figured I would throw that in there.
If the Bucks add a top FA that will be really tough to beat.
Big game tonight, IMO.....

Umm for the Bucks to get max space they need to waive the bird rights/cap holds of Bledsoe, Middleton, and Mirotic. Nevermind releasing Hill. It would gut that team.

There’s never been a worse coach in history at using timeouts than Stevens.

Man, Kyrie sure has sucked lately.

Keep shooting Kyrie. You don't realize you've got nothing tonight.
Would love to see Tatum finally realize he can take over a game.

Quality over quantity in the NBA matters more imo. I think the Bucks would take that trade to get better talent around the Greek freak.

Why does this team stop passing and go one on one whenever they get close? Frustrating..

The speed with which we get into a hole is amazing.

Yeah that's right, run a 3 guard line-up on a night they're shooting 9-34.

The officiating down the stretch has left a lot to be desired.

The officiating down the stretch has left a lot to be desired. That's putting it very kindly, game got weird. Anyway, I wish we could have done better than that Kyrie shot. Good fight nonetheless. Tatum and Brown are awesome.

Nice of Kyrie to hit a wide open Al there.
But the real stars were the officials, who handed that game to Milwaukee.

The type of game we need to win if we are to go anywhere in the post season. Disappointing lack of poise at critical moments yet again.

Tatum and Brown are awesome. Jaylen inexplicably with 23 minutes tonight, while 3-for-11 Morris gets 31.

Looking at that final play again ooooh we had Morris possibly getting open for a lob until Middleton flat out murdered him, how is that not a foul? Kyrie was mauled as well. Goddamn the NBA sometimes man...

"Kyrie did you feel you were fouled on that last play?"
"I love my money."
Kyrie on not wanting to get fined for criticizing the NBA refs on the last play. Probably the smartest thing he said all year.

To me, with much of the season elapsed, we have a clear idea of this particular team. It is a group of talented individuals that is simply, for various reasons, not a great team. I've certainly adjusted my expectations and tempered my enthusiasm.
