Re: Khris Middleton’s Flagrant 2, #Bucks guard Jrue Holiday asked: “Do you let him have the dunk? Two and a half, 3 weeks from now I’m not letting him have the dunk. I know it looked bad & we don’t want anybody to be hurt but I don’t want him to have it.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become Milwaukee’s career scoring leader on Thursday night, and his 44-point, 14-rebound, 6-assist performance helped the Bucks defeat the Nets 120-119 in overtime: basketballnews.com/breakingnews/g… – 12:03 AM

Passes Kareem.
Drops 44 against KD.
Stays even in loss column for 1st in East.
Yes, Giannis is the MVP.

Giannis, winking, when asked what it meant to become the Bucks’ all-time leading scorer:

One game after giving up 123 points against the lowly Detroit Pistons, the Nets went to overtime against the defending champions. The 1995 Houston Rockets are the lowest seed in NBA history (6th) to win an NBA championship.
The Nets can do it, too.

Bucks down 1. 8.7 left. Does Coach Bud call a timeout to move the ball? No sir. He makes sure Giannis gets it with a full head of steam to the rim. Absolutely unstoppable in that situation. There’s just no need to move the ball to produce the end of game drama the NBA wants – 11:15 PM

Kyrie Irving on the Bucks:

I still think Jokic is going to win MVP. If I had to vote today it would probably be for him.
But if the past few days force the media to acknowledge how insanely dumb voter fatigue is as a concept, we can chalk this up as a win. Giannis should’ve been right there all along. – 11:11 PM

While the Clipper back to back has them taking a bus trip from CHI to MILW, the Bucks will be flying home from Brooklyn and both teams played OT tonight. It makes LAC v Bucks tomorrow night very unpredictable. – 11:11 PM

“That’s who they are but I just think it was just reckless sometimes.”

Milwaukee was cooked but came back to beat Brooklyn in OT. With ATL’s win, BKN, CHA & ATL are in a 3-way tie for 8-9-10 in the East. This is big.
The concern is 7th. CLE lost (again) and is just 2 games up with schedule favoring BKN.
Pick is #16 but it’s getting interesting. – 11:08 PM

Best part about this regular season: we can watch Giannis do legendary, superhuman stuff every night and not a damn person can diminish it by questioning his ability to do it in the postseason.

I honestly don’t know what more people need to see from Giannis before acknowledging what’s in front of them. Résumé is insane. Just 27. He’ll obliterate your game plan on both ends. Until someone knocks off the reigning Finals MVP, how can you declare anyone else is better? – 10:31 PM

Little surprised Nash is going with Drummond instead of Claxton. Though if we’re being honest, Claxton’s value is diminished with Middleton out, since Claxton’s best skill tonight is baiting Middleton to go at him on switches and ignore Giannis – 10:04 PM

Nets fail to execute on easy transition 3 opportunity. Seth stops at the wing. Goran rifles ball into the crowd as if he though Seth was headed to the corner. Those are the opportunities the lack of chemistry shows. Easy 3 points missed. – 8:25 PM

Here in Brooklyn, Giannis Antetokounmpo (16 pts) needs just 24 more to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (14,211 points) as the franchise’s all-time leading scorer. If Giannis does it tonight, it will mean consecutive 40-point games for him. @The Athletic – 8:10 PM
