38 and 39 minutes for Kawhi and Lowry in a blowout loss...will take that every day as a Bucks fan

Only 35 for Giannis - everyone else under 30.

That is huge this time of year.

Bucks are steamrolling the Rapts.  Team over SuperStar.

Kawhi is really good.  But he's not nearly enough.  The first half was Championship basketball by the Bucks. Joy to watch at both ends of the floor. As Sir Charles said, 'Quick and painless.'

Role players tend to play better at home. We’ll see if the Raptors not named Kawhi step up going back to Toronto and if the Bucks bench mob keeps it up.

I do think people forgot how good Brogdon is when he was out for so long. I think people thought “ehh they lost their 4th best player (which is debatable), solid but not a giant loss.” Turns out it wasn’t a giant loss, but it was a giant addition when he came back.

Brogdon is a near All Star talent.  Probably the 5th or 6th best player for both teams combined in the series.  Testament to the incredible depth the Bucks have with him coming off the bench.

Assuming GS holds on tonight, that means that since Durrant joined GS they have won 30 of the 31 games that Durrant has missed with injuries.

Heard a stat yesterday, that they’ve averaged almost 40 passes more per game since Durrant hurt his calf.

I’ve rotated 2 through 5 for most valuable bucks at least eight times this season. They are all highly valued yet flawed players. No clear number 2, but glad we have them all.

I think their greatest attribute is an unending commitment to team.  Every guy on the Bucks has a 'Whatever you need Coach Bud' attitude.  And it starts at the top.  Hard to think of a more humble committed superstar in sports than Giannis.

Yup. And speaks to the importance of having a coach that has the players' respect, especially in the NBA. All of those guys really believe Coach Bud knows his crape, and that if they implement his plan, it will work out well for the team and the for the individual player.

Question for all our Bucks fan Scoopers ...

What was the general feeling when this coach was hired? Likey? No likey? No strong opinion either way?

I was a big fan of the hire. Did not think we’d be this good this quick. However, I was excited when we got Bud.

Liked it a lot. Good track record in San Antonio and Atlanta.

I think you would have been a better coach than Jason Kidd. After watching him for years in Milwaukee, I never had any idea what his offensive OR defensive philosophy was. Only took a few games and you could see exactly what Coach Bud was trying to do on both ends of the floor.

Bud was someone who I think most thought would get the most of his players, and the simpler defensive scheme would enable better offensive production.

I did not expect them to be in the driver's seat of the ECF when the players they are getting the most out of included Ilyasova, Brook Lopez and Pat Connaughton

Don't follow the NBA all that closely.  But I knew they had to rid themselves of Kidd.  And the job that Horst has done is top shelf.  Do they even have GM of the year?  Easy choice.

Honestly, Milwaukee has two of the best young superstar GMs in all of sports.  I hope our native friends in Cream City appreciate it.  Cities of a million folks don't get MVP performances and championship teams often.

They are pretty bad when Curry doesn't play.

Curry is the most important and best player on that team.

I don't know why people try to act like he is no longer a top player in the NBA. Do not understand the absurd Curry hate.

NBA Executive of the Year is the award.

Masai Ujiri or Horst are the likely choices.  Marks is also receiving some support.

Brutal. And Bledsoe...yeesh. Middleton has been absent offensively all series.

But Toronto hasn’t put them away yet. Grind it out and steal this one and it will break their will.
