    How do you leave Jabari wide open for 3?
    And why was Gordon guarding Giannis earlier? Complete mismatch for him and Brewer.

    Theres your MVP. 9 shots for 29 against grizz and 5 shots for 20 at halftime at bucks. He's just so damn amazing, unfortunately he's the only one who wants to play tonight

    Well, our boys whittled that down nicely there at the end of the quarter. Takes a while to warm your body up in Wisconsin.

    Or maybe Rockets ate to much cheese tonight at Chubby Chasers - Milwaukee's premier gentlemen's club.

    James is signlehandedly carrying us this half . This might be the best half I've ever seen him play . He's had good defensive effort and has been incredible from the floor .

    There have been at least 2 turnovers that weren't his fault . There was a steal from behind where no one warned him a defender was coming and there was one where he drove and got fouled with no call .

    I think Nene should play the big minutes today, he's dong a better job both ends by far between our bigs...looks also similar to the last game against them, big 1st half for them and then they started to brick, hope it goes the same way.

    That awful little offensive possession by Gordon caused a little 5-point swing in Milwaukee's favor, but Harden is single-handedly keeping them in this one. Nene needs to start the second half. He's the only big man who's having any kind of an impact on this game right now.

    Give me December Gordon back.

    What has happened with EG? It can't be only the ankle problem, he seems to be playing with lack of intensity on both ends of the floor.

    Bucks will cool down ad some of our guys will heat up. We have so many guys down but you know with a guy like Harden you allways have a chance.

    I don't think the Rockets are playing bad at all. When you're the best, you get everyone's best shot. The Bucks are playing out of their minds and Harden and Co. are still right there.

    This. I honestly don't understand, Bucks are destroying the Rox on D, Giannis is making the entire team his b**** and the Bucks as a whole are scoring 68% to Rox' 52%. Why're we down only by 4?

    Should we get this guy to compensate?

    This is one of those instances where the size they have ...a Magic Johnson sized PG bullying our center like a cupcake really shows. They're getting a lot of easy shots, don't be surprised if they maintain this.

    I agree. Harrell looks outmatched and Capela is playing too soft.

    Bucks turnovers? Harden? I honestly have no idea.
