Thon Maker predicts scary future for his Milwaukee Bucks, Australian Boomers
Too bad President Bill Clinton, who was sitting at courtside, didn’t have his saxophone handy to blow a blues riff to accompany the Nets’ defensive breakdown.
The Milwaukee Bucks spent Thursday night rolling over head coach Jason Kidd’s former team on the road en route to their third straight impressive victory. Milwaukee was in such control of the contest – ultimately, a 19-point victory – that he didn’t take the floor in the third quarter.
The Milwaukee Bucks (9-8) are on a three game winning streak following their win over Brooklyn. “We got stops and got out into the open court”.
“Give them credit. They understand the three is a high-value shot”. “Coming out to Brooklyn, we had to get the starters some rest”, forward Mirza Teletovic, who scored nine points in the fourth, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Brogdon and Snell each hit a pair of threes in the third quarter as Milwaukee started to pull away. The only thing that matters is to get the win. “We are looking at it and trying to figure it out, but we haven’t figured it out yet”. “Whether it’s a different lineup, we have to take a look”.
Milwaukee has won 13 of the last 17 meetings, dating back to January 9, 2013, and the first two meetings of this season’s series.
Giannis’ 2-for-5 effort from three spearheaded a big 15-of-34 effort from deep, allowing the Bucks to overcome a rare night when they were outscored both in the paint and in transition.
Antetokounmpo was ably supported by Jabari Parker (18 points) and Michael Beasley (17). Against the Nets, he had 23 points on 7-for-14 shooting, including 2-for-5 from 3-point range. The game’s stat leaders were all Nets teammates.
Milwaukee occasionally shows glimpses of being a contender in the East and put it all together with a 118-101 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday while Brooklyn outlasted the Los Angeles Clippers 127-122 in double overtime.
The 215-centimetre post player is already teaming up with Dellavedova and he revealed he contacted Bogut before their pre-season game against the Dallas Mavericks.
I will pick the Milwaukee Bucks to win this game against the Brooklyn Nets back-to-back. But they weren’t up to it. Milwaukee recalled G Rashad Vaughn from a second stint in the D-League with the Westchester Knicks, where he averaged 11.5 points in 15.9 minutes in two games.
As often has been the case this season, of course, neither did the Nets.
“We play them again in two days”, Antetokounmpo said. And, even scarier, he’s just 21 years-old – while I typed this sentence, he scored another effortless bucket and Booker, who was tasked with defending him, picked up a crucial fourth foul.
They haven’t claimed all the wins they wanted but they are making strides and Dellavedova knows his side has time to turn itself into a contender.
