Reactions: The Good

  • Khris Middleton is CLUTCH. Another day, another game-winning shot for Money Middleton. He took Jimmy Butler into the paint, then hit a beautiful turn-around jumper to increase the Bucks lead and effectively end the game. I don’t care who else is out there, if the game is on the line for the Bucks I want Khris Middleton taking the shot.
  • Jabari Parker literally gets better every single game. He’s amazing. He had three steals against Chicago, and looked like a much better defender tonight than he has in a while. It’s pretty obvious that Parker is working hard to erase the knocks against him.
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo is done with his slump, apparently. The Greek Freak was alive against the Bulls, dropping 29 points (on 14 shots!!), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block. Giannis was fired up, which means he played well. I love fired up Giannis.
  • Everybody played pretty well in this game. The Bulls out-rebounded the crap out of Milwaukee, but that’s what happens when the best rebounding team in basketball matches up with the worst rebounding team in basketball.
