The Bucks Just Unleashed A Three-Headed Monster…



The Bucks Just Unleashed A Three-Headed Monster…

The Bucks headed into the all-star break on a bit of a heater winning two straight and five of their last six. The injections of Cam Thomas and Ousmane Dieng into the lineup seemed to be fueling a mid-season surge. They returned to the floor tonight with a matchup against the Pelicans in New Orleans. The momentum did not stop. They rolled to a 139 to 118 win over the Pels to make it three straight. The Cam Thomas showcase continued, with 27 points in just 21 minutes played while shooting 65% from the field. He scored 16 straight points for the Bucks at one point. But it wasn’t just Cam. This was a scoring masterclass from the backcourt. Three Bucks guards finished with 25 or more points. Ryan Rollins finished with 27 points and 6 assists on the game, while Kevin Porter Jr added 25 points and 7 assists. The Pelicans just had no answer for Milwaukee’s guards. Maybe giving away Jose Alvarado at the deadline had more impact on the Pelicans’ backcourt defense than they expected. But more so than bad defensive play, it was more of a showing of the scoring talent for the guards for the Bucks. The three combined for 79 of the team’s 139 points. Ryan Rollins has been one of the NBA’s best breakout stories this season, looking like a legitimate most improved player candidate. If the Bucks had a better record he may have genuinely been in the all-star conversation. KPJ has always been talented, but off-court issues have limited his production over the years. Those concerns are legitimate, but so is the production when on the floor. The team’s success may not be short lived as the talent here is legitimate. They rolled to a blowout win even when Ousmane Dieng didn’t perform at the level we had seen since arriving. The Bucks Unleashed a Three Headed Monster.

Think about subbing, I’m on the road to 16k!!!

  1. That's so true. They're cooking. They will destroy the golden state wars right now, if golden state was healthy with Jimmy

  2. Is there any way you can hook me up with this thumbnail ? Anywhere you can post it so i can save it on my phone?

  3. Well, let’s see when Giannis get back because everybody that’s going on the points always want the ball if they play team ball they’ll have a good team

  4. As a loyal bucks and giannis fan, this season started out as a good one but was disappointing after that, these games, buckets from Cam and ousmane doing his stuff with rr being a possible mip candidate im insanely happy. Remember we doing good WITHOUT giannis imagine the monster we will be with turner and antetokounmpo back

  5. GIANNIS.If you come back, please don't f*** up the CHEMISTRY let the guards handle the ball. giannis, you can do it sometimes. But we have ball handler's, you don't have to do it all bye yourself go bucks I think we're playoff bound

  6. My enthusiasm is very similar to the voice guy in this video. We're going nowhere this year. And there is zero chance we keep Cam Thomas next year. All we're doing is worsening our 1st round pick this summer, one of the deepest high end drafts in years and we're playing our way right out of the coveted top 11 or 12 for this draft.

  7. This season started, me saying that its the best group we have ever put together. And we hadn't experience RR breakout, yet (RR defensive role on this team, gonna be the real mindblowing breakout of his career). Young, fast team who plays together around GA. It still is. GA couldn't carry the weight for 82 Games and team was missing 2-3 impactful players. GTJ, Prince,Antony, KPJ injury has reveal the truth. Now we made 3 wishes and they worked. "God, give us a middleton but athletic, fast, bulky with better shot" and Cam arrives. Gives us a project like GA for sf. Let it be like a 22 y old Durant, who is more focused on def. Dieng arrives. KPJ looks unstoppable at times.. Pete Nance is another gift and the nice thing is that everybody gives his best self on this team. Only Giannis is missing on that effort and he should approach it, humble and by sacrificing some of his game or built it completely from scratch, based on this exact team. We don't even need trades. Kuz's def, BP's urgency, Sims confidence, are playoff winning cards. We just need time to establish, a floor of consistency, to our youngsters.

  8. lookin good. Let's see how they hold up against better teams
    those four solid. KPJ always a baller. Cam gets the last laugh ? …maybe
