Damn, was hoping for more out of Bucks-Nets

Same thing. I was shocked when I saw the score. Nets shaping up to be the winners in the East and I don't think the West has anyone left to handle them.

I couldn't actually watch the game, I had to follow it on radio thanks to the stupid League Pass rules. But as poorly as every Buck played tonight, and as un-freaking-stoppable as Durant was/is, I put the blame primarily on Giannis and Middleton. The former got whatever he wanted in the paint in Game 1 and proved that Brooklyn has nothing to stop him, other than to send him to the line. Which is not a bad alternative at all, as he continues to prove. Yet, Giannis falls back into his old habits of settling for jumpers and pull-up threes early into the shot clock, the latter of which might as well be a turnover in my book.

If this is the only time you saw Middleton (I bet for most of you it is), then you'd think he's Trash instead of Khash. Couldn't hit the broadside of a barn for five straight quarters so far in the series, finally hits three 3s in a row and four or five FG in a row before half, when the Nets are up 20+, then that's it. There's a divide in Bucks fandom on whether he's a good enough #2 on a championship team; right now, the answer is firmly  no, especially when the #1 isn't playing like a #1.
