    Maybe. I watched the replay several times. It looks like he stops and contemplates taking a shot and then dribbles again. He could have just been so fast with it that it was a singular motion and he maintained the dribble. The slow mo could make it look off in that case.

    Bucks 4-6. Yikes. I guess PJ Tucker was their mojo?

    They’ve been missing Holiday since opening night and Middleton has missed a lot of games as well.

    So the vaccine is almost worthless. Two months of effectiveness....that's it? I've heard various reports of how quickly it wears off, but 2 months is a new low.

    J&J should have been a two shot series.

    Pfizer should have used a bigger dose.

    Moderna is the way.

    Houston will probably kill our bench if this sample size means anything. They’ve given a few quality teams a run for their money by decreasing big leads.

    Not even sure when we play them first, but I hope by then our bench players are used to closing out games.

    Edit: Friday… Houston’s record makes that look like an easier game than it will be.

    Charlotte choked a 9 point lead over the clippers with like 4 minutes left. Ended up losing by 14.

    Clippers maybe over performing according to their current record.

    I think we should handle that road game against them.

    PHX on a back to back is tough, but I think we can handle the suns as well. Overall I feel like we match up well against them.

    I’d take 2-2 on this road trip, especially since we are looking for our first road win.

    I’d expect to win 1 of the LAC/PHX games. And to handle business against Houston. Denver is pretty hungry for wins after starting out slow, and so that may be a tough game.

    They’ve been hampered by injuries and kind of a mish mash starting lineup. Giannis has looked like early season MVP but not getting much help

    Warriors best team in the west. Just proves that if you play well in the pre-season it translate to regular season.

    Last season the Bucks and Suns were a combined 0-7 in the preseason.
