 Everyone keeps focusing on Giannis when it comes to Bucks but you guys are forgetting they have one of the best coaches in the league right now. Coach Bud has literally taken Atlanta Hawks to a 60+ win season and top seed even tho they eventually lost, he also took over for Bucks just last year and made an insane change from a year ago and now they have taken another step. I am not saying Giannis doesn't play a role in this, you have to be an idiot to say that, Giannis is their star and responsible for almost everything but Coach Bud would take this team without Giannis to at least playoffs as well, he is that good.

Will the bucks winning streak be stop tonight?

Giannis has been ruled out against the Wizards, this is the time where Wizards can take advantage.
Who are talking Wizards to win straight up in this game.

It didn't stop the winning streak as Bledsoe and Middleton carried the team with a combined 85 points, even without Giannis Wizard unable to
match up with the rest of the Bucks they are really an offensive squad as all of them got the chance to shot and score.
They continue winning and staying at the very top of the league.

The Bucks are not only depending their offensive strategy on Giannis. They literally have one all-star but most of the team members are reliable when it comes to teamwork. This is the reason why the Bucks are deadly this season.

This is what like with the bucks where they dont solely depend on one player or a superstar.Rotations are there and can shoot up and
execute good positioning to make baskets.In fact, wizards do have that crap defense rating and no surprise that score do even
rose up to 150+. For an offensive type of team then its no surprise.

Monsters still came out of their closets.  Grin
Bledsoe and Middleton combined is already 62 points. It is almost garbage time now.
This should happen more.
Even with Giannis around they should always have the same game.

Gianni's absence can't be considered as an advantage to the Wizards. Bucks are still great, especially in front of their home crowd, even without Giannis on the floor.


That is true. There is so much power in their court by now.
Fans are helping for an aim to the championship.

Even without Giannis the bucks are too strong for the wizards.  Only way wizards win is if they shoot something like 60-65% on their threes.  Bucks are deep and can beat lower level teams without Giannis fairly easily

Agree but since the opening was -16 Bucks, I think the chance of the bucks covering that spread is now lesser since Giannis is not playing and his contribution is big for the win, in addition, Wizards are a desperate team now, they want to have a win and beating a good team is like a challenge to them.

Right now its 57-37 still early in the game but the bucks are so strong.  They have to be the favorites to win it all with the easiest path to the finals.  I cant see any team in the east really challenging them in a 7 game series.  Only question is who would they play from the west.

Without Giannis: (I just choose 3 games)

111-100 against Magic
112-86 against Hawks
127-112 against Pelicans

Just imagine what will happen to Wizards later on.

As for the Bucks -16, I'm sure it will be covered***. During Wizard's recent game, despite Bradley Beal's 40 points against the struggling team too, Atlanta Hawks, they still got beaten by 19 points. Where's their offense? Where's their defense?

Nice stats, 2 of the 3 games where Bucks covered, so that -16 is still a good bet based on the past games Bucks have dominated.

Bucks needs to prove tonight again that they only don't rely on Giannis. GL
Now that the line is only -11.5, will this attract more Bucks bettors?

Wizards are in the 11th (15-30) position right now, and they are coming from a lost to Hawks.

While Bucks are still on top, so even without Giannis I think they can still do better and beat the Hawks because of Middleton, Bledsoe or George Hill and Ilyasova who can carry the team.

This is an exciting game, we are about the find out soon, yes, Bucks did great last time when Giannis was absent but it's not guaranteed it will again happen.

If Harden and Westbrook can do it, Gordon can do it too. I hope that this is the start for him to contribute more in terms of scoring and let Westbrook and Harden do the passing since both of them are good at it.
Maybe more like, if Harden and Westbrook will come back, Gordon can't produce points like that again.
This season, he only average 16 points, he should get at least 20 and more opportunity to drive and shoot 3s for this team.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/gordoer01.html
That's right, Gordon's contribution to the team is not about his scoring ability but his defense and tenacity. When harden and Westbrook comes back, he will be back to his usual plays and not to focus on scoring.
Since he's not needed to provide that much as Harden and Westbrook are both scoring machines, he will be back as a defensive player as he
is much needed, what happened today is just another usual thing that happen to every player but when the rotations comeback to its usual
routine it will be design to each stars inside the system.

Maybe there is no reason to score 20+ ppg by Gordon every game, as long as Westbrook and Harden actually makes enough of their baskets that kinda means it is good enough for them to make a good team in the future. I can't think of a small forward that can change the team, House is definitely a decent player and gets good enough minutes, ben mclemore is decent too however these are not really players that matter that much.

Reality is they have Westbrook+Harden+Pjtucket+Capela on their starter five, Eric Gordon is their sixth player on a team that doesn't have 5 good players, maybe they could just trade him and get a very good small forward instead or if not they could just hope that Eric Gordon just takes care of the teams second unit and be leader there.

For a non star player, he has a good average based on the site shared by Questat but he could be more useful as he prove he can be a monster in offence.
Gordon did a major contribution in the past seasons when they played against the Warriors, so he is an asset in the playoffs, they just need to keep him healthy. Rockets although included in the top 8 but they are lagging in ranking now as they are just rank number 6, I used to see them in the top 3 spot in the past seasons.

As if Jazz are not an ordinary team, please don't over react with this lose, Rockets are also a team that is capable of winning so they deserved this win.
With what Gordon have showed in this game, they should give him more minutes and more opportunity to shot the ball.

This man scored 50 points which is usually done by Harden, so if the Rockets will share the points with him, I think they will become unpredictable.
That's huge productions while your star players are not around to help the team. If you have this kind of player and if he will be continue this stats
after WB and Harden played with him the team will really got the shot to compete for this season.
The game is unpredictable even the scorers are not their someone will going to step up just like what happen to this match.

They just became an "overrated team" because they acquired Clarkson and their record became better after acquiring him but take note that when Clarkson isn't on the Jazz, they are at the bottom spot (around 5-8).
One thing more is that Rockets are just better in this game than the Jazz and they are more aggressive right now because they are playing on the road.

If Harden and Westbrook can do it, Gordon can do it too. I hope that this is the start for him to contribute more in terms of scoring and let Westbrook and Harden do the passing since both of them are good at it.
