Milwaukee Bucks steamrolled another team. Yes, I know it seems impossible, but they won by 24 points last night. It looks like Milwaukee is a high-major college basketball team playing cupcakes. Detroit Pistons love to get under the Bucks’ skin, but for no reason at all. You see Bucks have now beaten Detroit 10 straight times, and the average margin of victory is nearly 20 points. Yet the Pistons, most specifically Blake Griffin, like to run their mouths. They should not be talking shit yet here we are with these guys. I like Griffin off the court, but the dude is a raging douchebag on it. He acts like he’s better than Giannis when the Greek Freak has an MVP trophy and a conference finals appearance. Griffin has neither. Shut your mouth and play basketball.

Player of the Game: Giannis Antetokounmpo – Another nice night for the reigning MVP. He never seems to have any issues with the Pistons. Giannis finished with 35 points, nine rebounds and four made threes in this game. Giannis continues to put up 3-pointers and they continue to fall in at a decent enough rate. The Bucks superstar is becoming a threat from three by the end of this year. Antetokounmpo appeared to want to throw hands with Griffin, but he decided to not get suspended for it. I commend Giannis for keeping his restraint.

Honorable Mention: Khris Middleton – Good game from Khris! He had a hot start to the New York game then Budenholzer put him on ice a bit with his injury. Middleton had a great night from the floor. He scored 18 points, grabbed eight rebounds and had five assists. That is the kind of night you want from Middleton. If he adds this type of production with the way Giannis is cooking, they might win 20 straight games.

The Thing I Liked: Good night from the free throw line – Free throws have not been the Bucks’ friend this season. Now, Antetokounmpo has something to do with that, sure. But the Bucks have ended up with some nights where they shoot 60 or 50 percent as a team. Tonight, they missed two free throws going 25/27. That will ensure you keep blowing out teams.

Next up: Milwaukee welcomes the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night for a marquee game. The Fiserv Forum is going to be buzzing for the Giannis-Kawhi rematch plus Paul George added to the equation. Bucks took down the Clippers earlier this year, 129-124 sans Kawhi. Expect a hard-fought, playoff-like battle.
