For the Knicks sake of a win .. The Knicks starter lineup and coach Thibs better start working out a few plays to get Fournier a few open looks on the perimeter to beat .500 teams.
 
Giannis start the game off scoring several baskets (8-1)
Brunson & Fourniers 3 ball put some hurried pts on the board for Knicks 12-6
 
Wow! Did we just score a basket for the Bucks in the ending seconds of the first quarter 26-24 Bucks ???
The two 3 balls by Quickley gave us a 24 -22 Knicks lead .
Brunson did not need to -play the entire quarter Thibs !!!
 
Knicks blow a 4-1 fastbreak near end of half?. RJ is painful on those right side layups. But don?t feed Hart there! Would?ve tied it at 50. Mil hits 2 threes and get 3-point play.

Then?.

MIL inbounds ball with 1 second before half. Throws it done the court. Intercepted by Brunson, who promptly drains a 70 foot 3. Impossible to tell if it beat buzzer. So close. But replay shouldn?t overturn a 50/50 call? we will see. Amazing tho.

Of course they overturn it despite no definitive replay. Bogus. Replay should only overturn obvious mistakes.

Down 6

Half-Time .. Knicks 53 - Bucks 59
Brunson's (Last-Shot) full court jumper goes in .. but not counted !!!
Obi Toppin & Cam Reddish & D.Rose received 8 minutes or less in the first half of the game.
Is this gonna be a consecutive game where D.Rose bench lineup don't receive 6 straight minutes on the court ???
 
I'm speechless .. u guys hyped me up to believe it will be a close game ..
4 min remain in game .. Bucks 115 - Knicks 100
 
On a night Donovan Mitchell and Lavert each score 41 and beat BOS?. Halliburton posts 25 & 12? This second half happens. No shame losing in MIL tho? we shall see where this team is after this rough 7 game stretch.

Looking now tho that Grimes-Obi-RJ for DM an absolute no-brainer
 
Knicks played poorly, got little offensively from Randle and Evan? missed 10 FTs?. And they still were in it all game.
 
The Bucks TEAM-DEFENSE beat the Knicks in all 4 quarters tonight SMH
Bucks -- 26 --33--32--23
Knicks --24 --29--37--23
Bucks .. 60 rbd, 23 ast, 8 stl, 8 Blk, 6 Turnovers. and shot 109 FGA
Knicks .. 54 rbd, 18 ast, 6 stl, 5 Blk. 12 Turnovers, and shot 92 FGA

Tonight headcoach Tom Thibs coaching philosophy were clueless of what a playoff Bucks team were doing throughout the 48 minutes of the game. The star Giannis put all his energy into getting a triple-double by co-existing in his teammates performance, rather than dominate the ball to score 40 to 50 points on the Knicks.
And Leon Rose forcing coach Thibs to give RJ Barrett 36 minutes of playing time against an above .500 season team Bucks .. 11 point loss!
Before Randle or Brunson became a Knicks players they had a career as a 26 minute player.
Why are the Knicks FO forcing them to do overtime each night ???
Brunson & D.Rose may be the Knicks best Closer going down the stretch of games this season.
Cam's defensive skills would probably fit well in a D.Rose & Brunson backcourt.

Was looking for Sims to come in when both Hart & MitchRob picked up their 2nd foul in the first quarter.
