Even though it has been a bad year for Milwaukee thus far, Mitch Pratt and Charlie Tritschler will provide you with a bi-weekly update on the Bucks ranging from recaps, links and other neat stuff.
Hot Recap TakesFriday: Bulls 81 Bucks 72 - Could we mark this down as the worst Bucks loss of the year? I mean playing at home in front of a pro-Bulls crowd and they only score 72 points. That's terrible. There is really not much to say about this one. You feel like the Avery Johnson line 'We suck, we're idiots.' If you want one bright spot, it would Miroslav Radulijca had 10 points and five rebounds. He followed it up with a nice day against Oklahoma City and there will be something in the links about it. Radulijca has been a bright spot with this team this season. On the other end of it, Brandon Knight shot 21 times making only six times as well as missing all 3-pointers he shot, six of them. There is much discussion about what kind of guard Knight is, we talked about it last week, but I think he is sealing his fate as a shoot-first point guard which makes people cringe like a naming a shot after Paul Walker (Seriously, people think it is too soon for it, I guess it is in poor taste).
Saturday: Thunder 101 Bucks 85 - GIANNIS. WHO CARES THE BUCKS LOST BY 16... GIANNNNNISSSSS!! He had 13 points, eleven rebounds and five assists. Huge stat line for Anteokounmpo whom was playing against his idol Kevin Durant. Speaking of him, he is on complete fire still going for 33 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. Giannis played great throughout the game. Larry Sanders did not have a good weekend getting a technical in Friday's game and getting kicked out of Saturday's game. People are starting to get turned off by Larry's antics, but he is an emotional player meaning Sanders will not be a church mouse. People will get mad him like they do with Jermichael Finley as he has the same sort of supposed 'antics'. Luke Rindour had a nice night off the bench with 16 points, did not shoot much and had five assists. He should remain on the bench. It is okay for him to contribute as a bench player.
Giannis DOY - Every dunker gets a right of passage of dunking on Kendrick Perkins and now Antekokounmpo.
Giannis block of Durant along with other highlights - This had to be the highlight of his career thus far being able to block KD in the two games they have played against Oklahoma City. Nothing like blocking the guy you look up to, kinda like Allen Iverson crossing up Michael Jordan
Links
This blog post is more Giannis filled than most of them as he did another blog that was beautifully translated on Brew Hoop. Seriously, one of the best things ever. Sanders' line about Gucci shoes cracked me up.
Giannis also did a video with True Hoop which was also awesome and includes him enjoying ice cream.
This is from last week as well, but the SportUV numbers really love Miroslav which might suggest he needs more playing time and I might be slowly develop into a man crush Monday situation here.
What to watch
I am curious to know what the attendance numbers will be on Wednesday when they are giving away Giannis posters. I am mildly to very interested in going to the game to acquire a poster. I feel like many casual fans might attend this one in a game where both teams could score 70.
Upcoming schedule
They play on the road in Toronto before taking on Memphis at home on Wednesday night. Milwaukee currently has five straight losses, and they have fallen in their 13 of 15 games.
Charlie.
