2021-2022 Bucks-Bulls Playoff Series Thread

[CheezWizHed]

Not sure we need a game thread, but I think a series thread is good.  Go BUCKS!

[homer]

Nice way to start off a series (and the playoffs).

[nate82]

Almost a double double for Giannis in the 1st.

[CheezWizHed]

Bogus foul on MIddleton. 

[CheezWizHed]

Some ugly 3s being put up by MIL.  Some ugly bunnies by Bulls

[adambr2]

Just a horrendous game from just about everyone not named Giannis. 

[adambr2]

Nice run to finish the 3rd. Let's close this one out.

[adambr2]

Giannis picks up #5 and we still have 8 minutes to go. 

We may be in trouble. In desperate need of Jrue or Khris stepping up and hitting a few buckets.

Its been ugly.. No one can buy a bucket... and lots of turnovers.

[adambr2]

8 for 26 from the field and 1 for 10 from 3 for Middleton/Holiday. 

That's not good enough. 

[adambr2]

Unfortunately they just have to ride Giannis til the end or until he fouls out because they simply aren't getting anything from anyone else. 

[adambr2]

There you go Jrue. Big 3.

[CheezWizHed]

Lopez is somehow hitting the ugliest shots inside... ?

[HarryDoyle]

If the Bucks win this game, the unsung hero of the game is Lopez. He really stepped up his game with Jrue and Middleton struggling offensively.

[homer]

The refs should try calling more fouls because there haven't been enough called.

[CheezWizHed]

Caruso's a great actor.  Sure, you ran in and hit Bobby's shoulder, but crying about it later?  Please.  Plenty of other "ooh he hit me" head-bobbles all night too.

I'm annoyed that they will allow someone to back into a post up while pounding shoulders in, but the first time they shoot, it is automatically a foul...yet not before that? ?

[homer]

Bucks turned it over 21 times, shot 26% from three and still won by 7. 

[adambr2]

Oof, ugly, ugly game on both sides. 

We're 1-0 and that's what counts. We'll be better. 

[CheezWizHed]

First win in the books! A bit like the Brewers game ironically...

Interesting to see Javon Carter over Geroge Hill tonight. 

Holiday had a great night without shooting very well, but great D and running the offense. 

I can't imagine they will shoot this poorly again and hopefully not be as sloppy.  Looked rusty. 

[Joseph Zarr]

The Bucks might be the best team in the League at pulling out victories when they can't shoot. They have an uncanny ability. And, it's the sign of a 'good' team. Let's hope for better basketball ahead. We know they are capable of great basketball on any given night...just as we know they are capable of games like this.

Hill and Nwora were out with injuries tonight.

A couple of points...

1. Carter can play some mean defense.

2.Chicago cannot play any better, they missed their chance at victory. We hardly played close to our best. We should win this 4-0.

I'm not sure I agree with the first sentence of point 2.  The Bulls missed a fair amount of the shots that were uncontested. Otherwise I agree 100%

[DuWayne Steurer]

bulls might snag one in chi. other than that .... 

meh.
