They had a resilient spirit and were fun before they got the big three and the few players BKN still has carried it over. Joey Buckets out there looking like he got through a swordfight with all the red lashes on him during the regular season even.

how is it that the Bucks got close to nada in the paint in game two? you telling me Durant leading the team offensively as well as shutting down Brook in the post? How many times the bucks got the ball poked out on a drive?

Clax going out of his way to communicate when there is an open man on the perimeter

Shamet, Brown, James, all had really key buckets

And yeah Griffin been playing inspired ball, bringing veteran savvy and experience. I'm loving that he is getting to prove doubters wrong (though I agree he was bullshitting in Detroit)
