The one thing about Niko is he finds a way to contribute every game.

Played very solid team defense down the stretch and in OT.

Needed good tweets today. Got dog ******** tweets today

Omfg

Rondo giveth, Rondo taketh away.

This game man.

Why not Have AD take the ball out? Again bad coaching.

Smart play. Rondo is very smart.

Unbelievable

Luckily, the Bucks can't afford to take just one shot. They'll look to score quickly. So either way, the game won't end on one shot. Gotta rebound.

gentry is going with his starters to get this win and let the backups play against the suns monday....this is the harder game to win so go all out...

Shades of the Saints.

clutch job by AD to tip that at least. should take a few sec off the clock

I'm glad you guys are learning that Niko isn't just a Ryan Anderson clone. He's much better in the post, and his defense can be phenomenal at times. It was a well-kept secret in Chicago.

Ball denial on AD been a problem this whole quarter

Can’t help but SMH at this point. Can’t really blame Gentry anymore. These players have to start executing.

Considering our starting unit is not all that good because of Moore being asked to match up against 6-9 and 6-11 guys, the wise move is to go with the matchups and hot hands. Moore really is not that guy tonight.

Make a stop that's all.

What a painfully slow review and then they compound it by granting the timeout lol.

The Bucks don't appreciate you, Middelton. Come to New Orleans.

PELS WIN

PELS WIN

PELS WIN

Another win. AD had a great statline, Jrue overshadowed him a little by going insane in the 3rd. Giannis overrated.

Wow.... I mean... I’m happy for the win but we really made hard work of that.

Superb effort... good victory but need to be more clinical when we grind out a position to win... not let teams back in!

I'LL TAKE IT

AD tipping the ball on the awful inbounds pass took 1.5 off the clock. that ended up being the difference in the game

I feel like this win streak has gotten progressively more insane. I need an easy blow out win.

Anthony Davis, last 5 games:

44/17/2/6/3, W
38/10/1/1/2, W
42/15/3/3/2, W
45/17/2/5/5, W
27/13/1/2/2, W

I soured on Gentry but he has this team playing well .

IMPRESSED!!! Our team is closing out games. It’s nerve racking but we’re winning. If we win tomorrow it’s a 6game winning streak!!!

Coming back from 17 and taking punch after punch shows that the team is getting tougher . Earlier this year and last year this game would have been a loss

I'm so ready for a competent wing defender. If we make it to the playoffs and Solo can actually put in a reasonable amount of minutes that will change a lot.

I want to see more Holiday/Moore/Miller/Mirotic/Davis together. The spacing there is unreal, and I feel like AD would feast. Good win though, since my Bulls are tanking and I love Niko and AD, I'm following you guys closely the rest of the way.

I agree, I don't always agree with the lineups he puts out there, especially at critical times, but the team is playing passionate basketball within the system Gentry has created and the defense has slowly improved.

On another note, it's crazy that the Pels are essentially tied for the 3rd seed. It's crazy the third seed is basically now up for grabs.

Surely you want us to lose coz you have our pick?

im glad that we are winning these OT games....this team is not falling apart in close games like they did early in the season.....hope the backups can end the suns game early monday and we get no injuries...

Just as I figured when we switched sides at half we would come back. Great team win. Jrue was big time again.

I don't even have words to express how insane of a finish this game was. Niko was 2 inches away from finishing the game on a .7 second shot 3 pointer in the 4th, Jason Terry is .7 seconds too late in shooting the game winning 3 in overtime.

The Bucks are a terrible match up for us because they have so much length on their entire team. Maybe if we were healthy we could match up better but being down so many players makes it a nearly impossible game and we still found a way to win.

This is huge props to the coaching staff and the players for adjusting at halftime and grinding out a win.

I think it's a given that you'll make the playoffs, to be honest. If you were a lottery team, I'd care more about that

edit- to me, a pick from 15-21 or so is basically the same
