Bucks bailed out by spurs missing wide open 3s in consecutive possessions.

Wemby stuffing Giannis at the rim was interesting.

The Bucks holding on vs an atrocious Spurs team is somewhat troubling.

Not really. In pro sports, you just need to win games. There's no NET that affects your seed. Really good teams lose to atrocious teams all the time.

Eh, I think the biggest concern is that the way they continue to play doesn't look like it will translate to the playoffs. They've looked pretty mediocre most of the year despite racking up wins. I certainly feel much less confident they have a championship caliber team than I did when they got Dame.

I gave Muggsy a hard time last year about the regular season, but their warts definitely showed up in the playoffs. This team doesn't really look like one that can just flip a switch.

That game winner by Jokic was incredible.  I guess he's no longer in a shooting slump.  41/44  the last 4 games.

Just one more amazing feat for the best basketball player in the world.

That every team in the NBA passed on him, with many passing on him twice, is still mind-blowing all these years later.

He may nor have called bank but at the same time it wasn't lucky.  The guy has tremendous touch.

Agree. There's always a little luck involved with those kinds of shots, but I promise you that he has practiced them often.

A few years ago, I coached an 8th-grader who practiced half-court shots pretty much every day ... and darn if she didn't make a couple in games. Were they "lucky"? Not really.

Can't wait for the Chris Haynes "Bucks in disarray" piece to drop.

This team is a mess. Totally disjointed.

Makes sense, he's a hell of a revenue stream for the league office.

Dame or not tonight, down 31 at half to a sub 500 team at home is ridiculous.  They have got to fire him.  Red flags ever since training camp.  Would be nice if Giannis went to Horst and ownership and make his plea. It will be an early offseason if they don't pull the plug. Do it now and there may still be time to get things in order and make a real run at it.
