I am with you on Golden State, but at this point, won't concede anything to any other team in the East. Boston, at full strength, might concern me the most. Home-court advantage could be the difference come playoff time in the East. It did last year against Boston.
Excited for tonight's Bucks/Raptors game. Milwaukee has an opportunity to win any head-to-head tiebreaker with a win (currently 2-1). I hope Brogdon is healthy and can return to the lineup.
Big win on the road at Toronto. Have tie breaker and are now 3 games ahead in the loss column too.
The Bucks are a really fun NBA team to watch, and last night they got the national exposure!
My daughter goes to Arizona State, and last night at the ASU v. Arizona game she said there were people wearing Giannis jerseys.
We may be a small market, but people out west are fans of the Greek Freak!

Great win, and an important one given the tiebreaker. Bucks were in control most of the game against a really good team. Great to see DJ Wilson contributing. Middleton also announced as an All-Star.
Also cool that the win last night locked Buddnholzer in as one of the two head coaches for the All-Star game. When is the last time that happened for the Bucks (Don Nelson)? If ever? Safe to say they hired the right coach.
Certainly elated with Buddenholzer thugs far, and I'll be honest, completely shocked at the play of DJ Wilson. I did not see that happening - ever!
Glad the people running the Bucks know more than I do.
Give yourself more credit Goose , you were on the Budenholzer bandwagon (as was I) as soon as his name was mentioned as a candidate.
I think most people were ready to write off DJ Wilson. Never saw the court in his first year and was injured during training camp. Felt like another Rashad Vaughn. I like what he brings with his height, length and ability to stretch the floor. He and Lopez are great compliments to Giannis' game. Also proving to be a good defender.
I was on the Budenholzer bandwagon, but sure missed on Wilson. He is playing quality minutes, and like you said MUFan, compliments Giannis well. More than just a hustle guy right now, scoring 16 points with 3-6 from the three line.
I like the mix the Bucks have right now, and hope they don't make a big change at the trade deadline.
Yes, don't do anything to break up this chemistry. Even with the Thon Maker situation, he still maintains a good attitude and is not a distraction. He is under a rookie contract, and the Bucks already exercised their team option for next season. Only move him if you get fair value in return or an opportunity to create more cap space for this summer (Middleton, Brogdon, Lopez, Bledsoe).
