Giannis was hobbled but if he plays like he should (fighting for the MVP) the the Bucks pick up the W.

WTF Brogdon and Bledsoe are both out?

[insidehoops]

One of the worst Bucks quarters I've seen this season.

But after one, only down five.

Well the "PT" stands for Pacific Time so if you had stayed in school you would know what that means. :cheers:

One win closer to that coveted 60 tho

[Akhenaten]

Look like the Bucks have got the book on Harden, LITERALLY just ALLOW him to go right, trail him, bring help at the rim. It's crazy to see an NBA guard who NEVER shoots a pullup midrange jumpshot.

Harden's gimmicky game is gonna get exposed in the playoffs.

I hope you realize they need Brogdan back as soon as playoffs occur.

He is the glue to this team at the 2 spot.

Enjoy it for a night fakkits. :lol :lol

Harden will go off against Denver and the narrative will swing right back to him.

The Bucks dominated tonight, not Giannis. That much is obvious.

Yeah, you're right. Giannis had it wrapped up a month or two ago.

Pretty disappointing MVP battle but the real MVP got the W.

Hope the other West playoff teams were watching, they got scouting gold tonight.

Bucks ran that EXACT same defense the first game and Harden had 42. Good luck If you think that defense can work for more then one game. :oldlol:

He took 30 shots and 11 FTA to get those points and had 9 turnovers. And that's including George Hill deviating from the gameplan. Outside of that, Harden played right into the gameplan and it predictably took the Rockets out of their offense and let us clamp Capela. This time around it the execution was even sharper and Harden had nothing for it.

It's not a full-time scheme but if you want to pretend there's nothing there, aight lol.

52 3PA, 7FTA. Meaning for every 7.5 3pt attempt Rockets attempted 1FT. That's a record for games with 50+ 3pa btw, besting their own and Brooklyn's 11 FTA.

@$@% getting out of hand. smh 3BA. :facepalm

They were definitely trying for another Game 7 WCF epic melt

[Mr.GOAT2408]

Giannis had the MVP on lock all season but now there's like a 0% chance Frauden wins it :lol

[SpaceJam2]

He still has a chance if he explodes for the final few games but this game was a definite big ding against him.

no he doesn't, 60 wins baby, MVP baby :banana:

[SpaceJam2]

It is a slim chance, but a chance nonetheless. Let's say they rest Giannis and Harden keeps dropping 50 bombs.

Likely nah but hey, it could happen!
