Game 13: Milwaukee Bucks (9-4) vs. Dallas Mavericks (9-4) | 125-132 loss

Damian Lillard continues to have one of the softest whistles in the league. They still call that bullshit foul for 3 FTs? 
Slightest touch on Giannis is a foul. I miss FIBA refs.

Cam Freaking Payne destroyed Josh Green today..Its sad that Dante Exum is now the best Aussie in the team, and that is not a slight at Exum.

Powell plays much much smaller than his size, he might as well have been a guard out there. But nothing we dont know already. Powell needs to be a 3rd string center.

Such a frustrating loss, it was there for the taking. Wiliams missed a bunch of clutch 3's, but the way he has been shooting for the season I give him a pass. Jones too.

Green has had a bad stretch of games.  His defense has not been very effective lately.  The energy is still great on defense.  The athleticism is really good.  Efficacy is not good though.  He needs better defensive coaching and needs to have his minutes cut back somewhat.  Exum is outplaying Josh and probably deserves a larger role.  There is too much dramatic whining about Josh on the board though.  He played pretty well for us last season and it's weird how many fans here have completely given up on him 13 games into the season.  We need an athletic, quick defender on the roster.  Ideally, he'd be a low usage but high efficiency shooter as well.  Josh Green is the only player on the roster who potentially satisfies those criteria.

Dwight Powell is a good backup in certain games.  Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them.  Lopez and Giannis are just too big and physical for Dwight to compete with.  We really could have used a bigger backup center tonight.
