This Bucks team is solid man...Bud has these guys playing.

I know the teams that they've played recently have some injured players, but the current play of the Cavs makes me feel better about that game that the Lakers barely won against them. They're actually trying to compete again, much to the chagrin of many of their fans who want them to out tank Atlanta, Phoenix, and Chicago.

I think people saying Duke would beat them and coach Drew saying that they play to compete and aren’t tanking has flipped a switch for them as a whole.

Man, after beating the best in the west by 43, losing to the worst in the west by 2 and now the matchup of pops vs bud and the Bucks came out on top.

Interesting week of hoops.

Obviously the Timberwolves won but Wiggins was awful, played by 28mins and ended with
0pts, 1rebs, 1asts, that's simply not good enough. Towns on the other hand had 35pts 22rebs 6asts.

Covington and Wiggins were a combined 1-30 FG, has that ever happened before?

I know Bucks fans have been saying it, but it's like night and day the difference between having Kidd as coach and Budenholzer. Obviously this roster is talented and has been for a while but I feel like it was almost similar to that Mark Jackson situation. Budenholzer, and the team has been great and you can tell he really knows how to manage his guys (I remember some article that Gianni's was mentioning how in practice if Kidd didn't like something or along those lines he would run guys into the ground, and how Budenholzer is so drastically different and he cares about dudes getting rest and being fresh). I honestly think if things keep up, they could be a hard out in the playoffs and might shock some folks.

I wasn't a fan of Kidd, but I just saw JT(Jason Terry) on Undisputed a few weeks ago mentioned that Kidd has a winning formula that can get a team into the playoffs.

He just thought this was a fresh start with new fresh ideas from Bud.

I also know that JT is friends with Kidd.

Celtics gonna be the most dangerous 8 seed in NBA history watch out!

This is rough.

The standings in the West are ridiculously even, 7th is 1.5games back from 1st and the 14th placed Jazz (2nd last in conference) are only 2 games back from the 8th placed Kings.

The Brad Stevens honeymoon is over.

For all the things this Celtics team does to frustrate me, the thing that stings the most is how quickly they fold at the first sign of trouble.

There is nothing fun about watching this team play and am actually an growing to hate and root against them in games.

Don’t see a fix without a major roster shakeup, tbh.

Re: 11/20 - 11/26 Games Discussion Thread

I sort of just accepted we were tanking but the past 3 games have been eye openers. Young Bull is playing out of his skin, Cedi is contributing and Tristan is doing work too. Obviously Hood stood out against Philly (dude is allergic to turnovers) and Clarkson is reliable off the bench every night.

Nice to see Luka doing work against Boston too. Two of my favorite players in the league, both rookies, both showing out tonight.

I'm sorry man. Definitely one of the weirdest breakdowns I've seen. Worst I don't even know where to point the finger. It's like the Celtics magic in the late 4th quarter poof.... disappeared.

The people that were saying that are ****ing idiots.

Sick and tired of seeing this mess from fans. Putting a team of 19-20 y/o players on a pedestal thinking they can beat a team with grown *** men/proven vets. They do that mess in the NFL too and it’s annoying there as well.
