I think it the last minute wins are good tv but for the athletes just has to tire you out
Better than losing clutch games lol
It's all a matter of how you take it. In the long run I'd say it's bad cos it really takes a toll on the stars to have to play with that extra gear in the 4th every time. Doesn't help that alot of these are against teams that bucks would have easily beaten in the past.
Also it's a testament to how bad they played in the 1st 3 quarters.
However, having these clutch games now also battle tests the team's resilience and it's a good sign that they come out on top more often than not in these clutch situations now. Remember it was the clutch and 4th quarter that has let bucks down in the past (e.g. vs miami game 5). As someone said, good that they are winning rather than losing these clutches. Ppl gotta take it more positively in this sense. Remember if they had successfully made the comeback vs celtics, the narrative wouldnt be how bad they played in q1-3 and how terrible their def is but rather how great they are in the clutch.
What happend to the original host
The bucks will be graded by the playoffs no matter what goes on in the regular season.
There is no meaning to the in season tournament
Hoping they trade Connaughton and Beasley for Alex Caruso. Need perimeter defense. But Portland beat Pacers today.
If Boston wins by more than 22 we could play them for a 5th time this regular season
