The charge was a tough call. The more egregious call was the non-call. Giannis whacks Theis in the hip that doubles him over enough for them to review for a (what was it “hostile” or) “violent act.” How is that not at least a foul?

Good to have b-ball back. Guys are clearly rusty but the effort seems to be there. Looking forward to today’s game! Go Celtics!!

Re. the review of the Theiss incident, the play-by-play at nba.com called it an "Altercation Review" -- never knew there was such a category.

Did anyone else notice MS and George Hill having a "lengthy" on-court chat post-game?
Didn't seem to be any hostility (MS "dapped" up a couple of Bucks during the conversation), but GH seemed adamant about making his point. They did "hug up" at the end.

A series between these teams ought to be entertaining on multple levels.

Too bad the games take place in the bubble and Terry Rozier won't have a chance to sit in the front row and annoy Eric Bledsoe with his presence.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bledsoe's role diminished -- the youngster from Villanova is playing nearly as many minutes, but committing half as many TO's. EB (like Rozier) is a loose cannon.

As a team, the Bucks have more than a few miles on their odometer -- 12 guys have played 46+ games AND 14+ minutes per game ... seven of them are north of 30.
"Now or Never" may have arrived in Wiscinsin!

The breake gave young guys more time to work on their game with some NBA experience already there and Divincenzo looks much better on the court, I like him more than Bledsoe and his on and off game.

Good point about "senior citizens", Lopez, Ilyasova, Hill and Matthews' contributions may be crucial for Bucks' success and they won't get any younger.
