The past couple of weeks, Giannis has been out with a knee injury though was able to come back last night to play against the Hawks. Before that, the bucks played the Orlando magic and the Minnesota timberwolves. Though Giannis was out, we were able to secure the win in both of those games. Khris Middleton played well in these games scoring above 20 points in each game. The timberwolves game showed that we can have multiple players scoring effectively in a game. Khris Middleton had 27 points shooting 9-15, Brook Lopez had 18 points, Jrue Holiday had 15, Connaughton and Forbes both had 14 points and Bobby Portis scored 13. Our entire team was able to score against the timberwolves and it was a good game to watch. Last night against the Hawks was a good game all around as well. No one scored a big amount with points all around. Jrue had 24 though and was getting great passes off with 7 assists as well. Brook Lopez was hitting deep threes and also getting to the paint with strength which was nice to see. And Giannis came back scoring 15 points which isn’t bad considering he just came back from injury. If we can continue to play with consistency and get everyone to score, we can make a good playoff run and see the finals too. Let me know what you guys think!

Bucks vs. Knicks/Rookie game
In a recent loss against the Knicks, it was our first loss in a while after having a big win streak. Although we took this loss, we didn’t have any of our starters in except for Brook, and had our rookies in and bench players. We didn’t lose by much and I must say I was actually kind of impressed by how our team played. Jordan Nwora was going off from the three point line. I’m glad we finally got to see him with some minutes because I believe he is going to be a special player. Thanasis Antentokounmpo was also going off and hit some crazy shots that I didn’t believe went in. Overall we learned a lot about our young players in this game and I think that they will be much better in the future and be great in fact. Let me know what you guys think and have any questions!
Bucks vs. Wizards/Bucks vs. 76ers
The Milwaukee Bucks seem to be back to winning after the all-star break. This past week we played the wizards twice and the 76ers on Wednesday and got wins on all 3 games. Our games against the wizards were all around great games. We scored pretty efficiently and got a lot of stops on defense. As for the Philadelphia game, I’d say we got away with a win at that one. We shot a total of 39% from the field in that game, and our bench didn’t put up much numbers at all. Bobby Portis is usually someone on our bench we can rely on to score for us, but he ended up only making one out of eight shots taken all game. Giannis had a rough start but was able to move past that and score 32 points and 15 rebounds. He might as well have been the reason we won this game because no one was was really playing well.
In other news, the Milwaukee Bucks traded D.j. Augustine and D.j. Wilson to the Rockets, while we acquired P.j. Tucker and Rodion Kurucs. P.j Tucker I believe will be a great addition to the Bucks roster. I think we need some more big, gritty men in our roster with some muscle on. P.j Tucker has a lot of experience while also having a lot to give still. Defensively he is a powerhouse which we need. What do you guys think? Let me know!
