Post-game: Rookie Patrick Baldwin Jr rains threes in hometown! (also Bucks destroy Warriors)
on to the next one
I didn’t want to overheat the Zen flashy thingie, so enjoy this Patrick Baldwin Jr highlight instead. Also, PBJ went +4. That’s about all I’ve got.

Next game starts at 4:30pm!!
My takeaways from the Bucks game:
1. The Dubs still aren't playing championship basketball. No consistency. This one is mostly on the starters, but we don't really have any opportunity for those "sparkplug off the bench changes the game" moments with the depth we have right now.
2. The refs really messed up. I think we got the worse end of it but Milwaukee also had good cause to be mad. When you've given out techs to Kerr, Budenholzer, Curry, Antetokounmpo (four of the most likable guys in basketball), and then some, that should be a sign that the problem lies within.
3. Grats to PBJ for having a solid run of minutes in his hometown pro debut! If we get more of that level of play from him I think we'll be pretty happy.
4. Kuminga has been a real bright spot. This two-way play is what I was hoping from him this season.
5. Milwaukee's defense is legit. Extremely coordinated, smart about switching or not, high effort. They don't concede easy shots anywhere in half-court and usually not even in transition. And this is without Jrue Holiday! Their offense is just OK, but even so it's hard to imagine they don't make ECF at minimum, barring significant injuries.
6. Klay is still missing shots short more often than not, especially later in the game. It's probably a conditioning thing, but it makes one wonder if his surgically-repaired legs can even sustain peak condition anymore. You can see why they hold him out of back-to-backs. At least the playoffs don't have b2bs.
Hey, at least we have a chance to get revenge on Nembhard and the Pacers tonight!
