Last year, Sunday afternoon games were not friends with the Milwaukee Bucks. They struggled mightily in these games all year looking sloppy, sluggish and frankly hungover. Bucks never really got themselves in a rhythm last year. So far, the Sunday’s have been pretty well for Milwaukee with recent wins versus Chicago and Brooklyn. In this first home game, things look pretty well with the Bucks up 17 at half, yet Jrue Holiday got red hot along with everyone else on New Orleans’ roster. Pelicans pull out a huge overtime victory

Giannis’ scuffles from the floor again
I don’t think we need to overreact to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s rough February from the field. I think he’s trying to find his shot a little more and stop crashing the lane as much. He knows teams are playing off him and needs to continue to develop his jumper more. Even though he struggled, Giannis should not have disappeared like he did in overtime. He has a pretty nice stretch of games though coming up with Washington, Detroit and Indiana. All teams are plus matchups for Antetokounmpo.

Too bad Jabari couldn’t be out there for the finale
What a game from Jabari Parker. What people should take from this game is Parker looked really fucking good out there. Parker went off for 18 points and did it in multiple ways. He knocked down a couple threes, and looked beasty in the post. The Bucks clutch lineup will get a massive upgrade when Parker is on the floor and not Tony Snell. Also, keep an eye on the Bledsoe/Parker lineup, they’ve been pretty good.

Refs don’t cost you a game but….
Billy Kennedy is an awful official. Holy shit, the referees had such a bad performance especially down the stretch. Bucks couldn’t breathe on Anthony Davis, and the refs fell for every Nikola Mirotic flop. New Orleans also received an extra possession thanks to the officials not realizing a ball went off their foot and ruled it inbounds. And the Pelicans did score on that possession if you want to punch yourself in the nuts.

Next up
Milwaukee welcomes to Washington for a nationally televised game on Tuesday night. So excited for the Players Only broadcast where all these former players act like Jason Kidd should still be there (Not). Wizards are playing well even without John Wall, but Milwaukee had their number twice in D.C. last month.
