I will never forget Christmas 2019, Bucks first place in the east with Giannis the reigning MVP, and the entire pre/halftime show of their game that day was not merely speculating but actively advocating for him to leave. That’s what a lot of today’s discourse reminds me of. – 1:22 PM

Jayson Tatum enters the game at MSG tonight still leading the league in scoring. Julius Randle has moved in to the top five.
Tatum has two more games (tonight, Wed vs. Cleveland) before his 25th birthday. He needs 54 points to pass Giannis for 7th on that all-time scoring list. pic.twitter.com/p6AGFSIKMR – 12:53 PM

Of course it is Jae Crowder making shots to lead a Bucks comeback here late in the fourth quarter.
Fun finish ahead for the Bucks and Suns, who are tied at 96 with just over 3 to go with both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant watching in street clothes. – 3:23 PM

Craig or Okogie 5th starter?
Craig 10 boards at half (6 offensive). Extra possessions.
No Giannis, but with Booker, Paul and Durant, extra possessions huge. Shot 1-of-7, but will take less shots with Durant.
Okogie better scorer, 9 points, 6 boards at half.
Thoughts? #Suns – 2:39 PM
