Some interesting sound bites from "The Starting Lineup" (Frank Isola and Brian Scalabrine) on SiriusXM NBA Radio:
Giannis:

The Bucks are being overlooked. Gary Trent was a very nice addition. Dame is in much better shape heading into this season.
Just give me a healthy Giannis, Dame, Khris, Brook, Bobby, Trent come playoff time and I believe the Bucks are the biggest threat to Boston, that should still be the favorite in the East.

Bucks are being way overlooked.Originally Posted by mufan2003
Almost beat Indiana in round 1 without Giannis and with Dame injured.
I think Doc will have them in a good place. I think this team is determined.
Boston won it all, so they are #1 until someone knocks them off the perch.
I get the excitement for the Knicks, and they were aggressive offseason.
Bucks should be #3.
Take time with Middleton, no need to rush him back. Try to focus on being in the top 3 seeds. Load management, make sure the key players are healthy and ready for the playoffs.
I really like this Bucks team, if healthy, to make a serious run at the title.
Things are looking up. Bucks have won 5 straight, 7 of 8 and back to .500 (9-9).
Lillard was incredible last night against Miami. I really like what AJ Green and Andre Jackson are bringing to the team. Green can obviously really shoot it, but is a very underrated defender with a strong build that holds his ground well (high IQ). Andre Jackson is so athletic and has been fantastic on the defensive end. He also keeps the ball moving on offense and is just full of energy.
Gary Trent is finally playing better and Taurean Prince has been consistent. I think the plan all along was to keep Middleton out the month of November. Shorten the season for him, bring him back at some point in December.....All-Star break in February and then playoffs begin mid-April.
Nice win against the Heat last night, 3-0 in the NBA Cup standings.

Bucks looking good and now over .500
Agree mufan, Green is playing much better defense as is Jackson. Need young guys who can step in and play meaningful minutes, and they are. Need Green's 3 and D right now, and thankfully Trent is finally hitting shots.
Middleton was a beast in the playoffs last year. Need him to be healthy so take your time getting him back. Manage the season, as they have been doing, and just get into the top 5 and be ready to play playoff basketball.
Middleton listed as "Probable" for tomorrow's game @Boston.
