the bucks play ugly, cynical basketball by math and get none of the hate directed towards the rockets, who are enchanting and lovable

bucks' entire offense is giannis shouldering people under the basket and entire defense is letting opponents shoot 3s. it is a graceless, brutal operation that angers the basketball gods

every great team of last decade had a distinct personality: warriors, heat, spurs, lakers, clippers, rockets. the bucks are a dreary shrine to one man's arm length and expected value. they must lose

all the fawning over giannis' goofy midrange jumpers or clunked 3s is like hooting at a peeing calvin decal on a prison ship

remember when bucks were on pace to win 70 games, led by defending mvp—and we all had to pretend raging public disinterest was because milwaukee is in the central time zone and doesn't have a reputable philharmonic or some shit
