Time: 7:00 pm AZ (6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET)
Place: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ
TV: FSAZ, NBALP
Eric Bledsoe makes his return to Phoenix Wednesday night. You know he'll be making an effort to impress with his new team. But hopefully Monroe will as well. How do we stop the Greek Freak? (You don't.)
Go Suns!!!

We are very familiar with Bledsoe trying to take over. He tries to do too much, and even when he is pulling it off, he still disrupts heavily his team’s offensive flow. Im all for Eric trying to stick it to us, since it would take the ball away from players better suited to beat us.
Hopefully Triano sets a fire on everyone to drop it on a guy that quits on his team via Twitter. I also think than this return came too soon for the Bucks rallying around a “let’s do it for Bleds” true effort, and this combination could lead us to our first 3 win streak. How long since the last one?

They probably will get torn apart, but I'm excited to see how Bender, Chriss, and Jackson do defending Antetekounmpo.

Deny him his yogurt! Every store in PHX needs to pull all the greek yogurt of the shelves right now. It's the only way.

I'm surprised that the Bucks are only 8-8. They have really cooled off after their hot start where everybody was saying Giannis was the likely MVP.

They recently put together a nice 4 game win streak including wins against the Spurs and Pistons. They are just very unpredictable night by night.

Antetokounmpo was dominating but they weren't winning a ton of games

yea just saw this, despite the general consensus I actually didn't think Bledsoe would try play hero ball tonight but now this obviously makes me ponder rethinking that position lol

Bledsoe's already second on the team in +/-, with a +18 over six games. Giannis and Khris each have a +17 over 16 games.
First on the team: John Henson, at +38 over 16 games. He's sure come a long way from Talk Soup.

Pfft, he is too scared to play against us. That's how we stop him.

Probably pretty well considering he'll be on the bench.

It will be tough to develop chemistry if they really are rotating all 3 big men. I imagine Alex gets the short end of the stick more often than not if we keep the 3 centers together.
