    So if one superstar played in 52 games and the other superstar played in 56 games and they played in 38 together, how many games during the regular season did they have at least one superstar playing? With all that other depth they still should have been a hell of a lot better.

    Their depth chart says Davion but I think Malik Monk has more experience setting up an offense, even though he's spent most of his career at SG. It will be interesting to see who starts if Fox has to miss the game. He isn't Out as of right now, just doubtful but if the fracture is at the tip of his forefinger I don't know how you dribble on that without massive amounts of pain or retain your the control over your handle if that finger is numbed from a shot.

    Hard to say what is going to happen but they have a pretty good bench. What's crazy is the they had Delly as their backup PG but he also broke his index finger and his needed surgery so he is out indefinitely and has been for a few weeks.

    I think that means that they had at least one of those guys for 70 games this season.

    Not sure? Giannis is coming back for game 4 seems to make this a bit premature?

    I think that Milwaukee will win this series in 6 games.

    Run a lot of the offense through Sabonis, so not sure it’s that big of a deal.

    The bigger issue is Fox is pretty much the only guy who can cook his defender.

    What a flameout by Bam. Is there any chance at all that Miami thinks of moving him? His stock can't be high right now.

    He so desperately needs a high level P&R guard to unlock him.

    Wow, between the show Jimmy is putting on and the way the Bucks have fallen apart, this has been something to watch.
