Bucks @ Suns 2-4-17

[Mainstreet]

Both teams played nail biters last night, however, the Bucks lost to the Nuggets and the Suns beat the Kings.

The game is scheduled for 7 p.m. Arizona time.

From the ESPN preview:

The loss dropped the Bucks to 21-28 as they attempt to tread water while they await the return of high-scoring Khris Middleton from a torn hamstring.

The club's leading scorer last season at 18.2 points per game said Friday that he has circled Wednesday on the calendar for his season debut.

Saturday night's game features three of the top teenagers in the NBA.

Bucks big man Thon Maker hit two 3-pointers off the bench in Milwaukee's comeback effort at Denver.

The 19-year-old is a native of South Sudan, one of President Donald Trump's restricted-travel countries, and faces an uncertain immediate future, although he is currently allowed to fly with the team.

Watson, "There's not really anyone like him" re: Giannis; added his skill set at his height is unique

Kidd said both Hawes and Hibbert (acquired from Hornets) are in Phoenix but neither will play, wants them to practice first

I worry this Dragan Bender ankle issue may become something more. I hope it is just a temporary set back.

Wow, the Suns look horrible.

I wish the Suns had signed Mirza Teletović in free agency. His salary is virtually the same as Dudley.

 

[hsandhu]

Giannis will be best player in the league someday. Damn near unguardable already.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow, the Suns look horrible.

The Suns do not play defense so in order for them to win they have to outscore opponents. However, this is more than obvious.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Bucks score 45 points in the 1st quarter. The Suns trail 45-25.

 

[Mainstreet]

Teletovic has scored 13 points thus far. There is always something about coming home.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chandler had Jason Terry under the rim and passes the ball. It turned out alright but wow.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker is getting in the groove.

He has 9 points and 4 assists.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is going wild with 19 points. When he is on, he is unstoppable.

 

[Finito]

Oh my lord Booker and Greek Freak going off. Young talent on display

 

[Fenkin]

D-Book on fire, Bucks defence is terrified!

 

[Finito]

Booker 27 points in the second quarter

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker 27 points in the second quarter

Yup. He is a star.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chandler had Jason Terry under the rim and passes the ball. It turned out alright but wow.

That pass by Chandler was to Booker which started his rampage. In retrospect, Chandler knew exactly what he was doing.

 

[Finito]

Man Bledsoe and Knight just make some of the dumbest passes you'll ever see.

Bledsoe has been horrible in the 3rd just like what are you doing

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Bucks had a top PG they would be a very good team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Giannis will be best player in the league someday. Damn near unguardable already.

He is a very special player.
