    We could really use a healthy Khris for when Giannis has off nights. Thank God Jrue has that clutch gene.

  2. DrunkBucksFan

    Giannis didn’t get a triple double because he didn’t score enough points lol.

    Jrue stepped up big tonight. Glad we stayed composed and finished the job.

    Hubie when Atlanta scores: nice

    Hubie when Milwaukee scores: oh boy

    It’ll be a cold day in hell before I enjoy a Bucks win without them blowing a 20+ point lead, I swear I can’t handle more of this.

    See y’all next time tho

    A win’s a win…just wish we weren’t always on an emotional roller-coaster, haha.

    What’s been up with Giannis recently

    Definitely not great to nearly choke away a game against a mediocre Hawks team without Trae or Clint. But we did get a “BANG” for Jevon Carter out of Breen, so it wasn’t all for naught.

    Has Hubie Brown ever said a nice thing the about the bucks? He’s such a frustrating announcer to listen to.

    If we get a 20+ pt lead I know the games gonna take years off my life lmaooo

    Giannis with team best +15 and 10 assists and 1 turnover. Even when he’s bad he’s impressive.

    Hey you know what, if anything, this game only shows the strengths of our guys. We saw some great passing today, utilizing all our teammates. Overall, I’m happy with this win.

  13. bigpuffyclouds

    I’m a Jruther who believes that Jrue- the adrenaline junkie, engineers these down to the wire endings to get his clutch plays in.

  14. WeefBellington24

    Phew. Should’ve been a bigger win margin but ah well

  15. Superflissbro

    Giannis looked off but make no mistake he still had huge contributions to us winning, also Jrue Holiday is the clutchest player in the NBA

  16. messejueller21

    Is Giannis just trying to make a concerted effort to get his teammates going? 9 and 7 points in 2 of your last 3 games while being 2nd in the NBA in scoring is weird to say the least..

  17. NinthCinema

    Bucks letting bad teams come back so that they can get practice in the clutch

    we just operate on a higher mental state than any other team in the league

  18. ChipotleAddiction

    Jrue is clutch but this team is so ass in the 3rd quarter it’s literally comical

  19. Evening_Ad_7031

    wouldn’t have guessed that giannis missed out on a triple double by points , he still did well though scoring aside

  20. Ghostofclaybobpast

    Giannis with 3 straight pretty ugly offensive performances vs the Hawks. Onyeka is big part of it but their whole team seems to have a knack for staying in front of him and forcing him into bad shots and turnovers. Kinda odd that the Hawks of all teams seem to clamp giannis better than anyone else. But whatever, they won. Never seems to be pretty but it’s January. Don’t really care how it looks. Just keep stacking wins to keep pace with the rest of the east.

    No one can accuse the Bucks of putting people to sleep if you watch their games, that’s for sure.

    This is real ‘random basketball’. Blow a 24-point lead? Blow out a team by 35? Get blown out by 30? You’ll never know.

  22. uchiha_building

    Giannis averaged 43 points over a 4-game stretch and now has averaged 12 over the last three.

  23. Chipper1221

    Really strange game from Giannis, but glad we got the W. Almost feels like he’s injured, sick, or Bud finally had a realization that relying on Giannis heroics isn’t sustainable.

  24. Sometimes I wonder if the Bucks are just messing with the NBA.

    AJ Green being in during the 4th quarter during a Hawks comeback run. Giannis switching to the Draymond offense. Players chucking 3s like it’s practice.

  25. chizzorock

    Where was Grayson Allen in the 2nd half? Didn’t see him on the bench or a report he was hurt….traded?!

  26. OzzyMKEtoATL

    Jrue over the backboard happened like 20 yards from me… whole crowd went speechless
