Official Game Thread (21/82): Spurs @ Bucks (7:00 PM CT/1:00GMT)
Back on the road again :danceclub..
Kawhi vs Giannis is the match-up of the night..
The Greek Freak is going to be real scraaryyy good in a couple or three years..Heck, he might just be a Top 10 player right now at only 22..dude is singlehandedly carrying this medicore Bucks team to respectability and potential playoff berth even with Middleton likely out for the season..Simply doing it all..
Time for Kiwi to prove he hasn't totally lost his defensive chops and contain this giant kiddo. ..

Sadly, Giannis will post some obscene stat line. Kawhi won't stop him.
Bucks win.
Scrub watch: Teletovic, Beasly, Delly

Tough matchup today. Would be an impressive road win.

Re: Official Game Thread (21/82): Spurs @ Bucks (7:00 PM CT/1:00GMT)
All three games on this road trip are very losable games tbh. Since its Milwaukee I'm gonna call the first road loss tonight.
-
Re: Official Game Thread (21/82): Spurs @ Bucks (7:00 PM CT/1:00GMT)
It's a decent matchup, on paper..
Bucks live and die by the fast break(5th in the league in fast break points) and at the rim(#1 in the NBA in % of shots at the rim)..Spurs have been good at defending the rim and the paint for the most part..
As long as they don't turn the ball over too much(no Turnobili or last game's Danny Green, especially), they should be able to win this game IMO..

Every game is with the way this team has looked recently.
I think the Timberwolves game is the most likely loss though. Not only is it the second game of a back to back against a resting opponent, but both in talent and metrics, they're better than their record and they just had their inevitable "enough is enough" game, with their late comeback at the Hornets a few days ago. That's always a bad time to face a team.
The offense tonight should be going through Aldridge. He should have no trouble bullying either Parker or Henson in the post.

:lol LMA has trouble bullying PGs so far this season tbh; unless his jumper is working he won't be much help. This should be a MVPau game hopefully.

Kawhi is currently the better player overall, but Giannis has been having a much better year.

One has to wonder if switch them up if Kawhi is able to pull what Giannis is doing with that roster.
I would venture a no...

It'd probably be a miniscule difference tbh. While the Greek Freak is a better facilitator, Kawhi's shooting would open things up for the Bucks.

They have a lot of repetitive pieces similar to the Spurs. If they had Middleton back they'd prolly have one of the best records in the East.

Based on 20 games sample size and potential (Giannis is 3 years and 1/2 younger than Kawhi), if you presented a swap for the Bucks, they might just flat out say NO..Have people not taken notice Kawhi shooting a putrid 43% in November in his most inefficient month since Feb'15 ?
I am going to give him December to iron things out in his new role, otherwise we could be legitimately talking about a regression..

His terrible shooting is a combination of taking bad shots and tired legs. If he were on the Bucks I doubt Kidd would ask him to carry the load on both ends like Pop has. Only reason Pop is getting away with it is because of who he is; Kidd doesn't have the clout to put his franchise player through that.

I noticed there is no Riga time and we haven't heard from Bill Mc in a while. Hope he is well and has enjoyed Bertans when he has gotten playing time.

I just have a hard time seeing Kiwi lead a team with high usage and ball handling with the bad assist rate he has TBH.. and I appreciate the player.
I don't think he'd be able to do what Giannis is doing. He's a much better shooter but if you swap the players I don't think kiwi is able to carry that Bucks team...
