Yanni played really well. Knight, Mayo & Ridnour shot well, hopefully increasing their trade value.

No doubt in my mind that our petty bitch vets are jealous of Giannis and all the hype/pub he's getting. Only excuse for shutting him out every damn time down the floor.

Excited about Giannis. Knight is unreal bad.

I'm sure there is some of that at play. If you look at the Bucks twitter account, it's pretty much all-Giannis, all the time affair. Not that I blame them.

Ridnour is a punk ass. First he freezes him out, then he doesn't even acknowledge Giannis on that nice look for a 3 to beat the shot clock.

I love that you're on board with this, Max. :D

Miroslav was handy. Did Wolters actually step on the court? I also missed if Butler was injured - hopefully a Butler/Neal package is being shipped to someone :pray:

Great game. One of the most enjoyable of the season. And nice to see Giannis bounce back. I love this kid. Too bad I can't stand so many other players. At the same time, all this failure could result in some actual change for once. *fingerscrossed

Great to see Giannis make a name for himself tonite with his second double-double. What's not to love?

Knight: Typical ass-suck PG play. No vision. Routinely passing up open players for his low-percentage dribble drives.
Ridnour: Shot well, but is too shoot-first as well. He's twice the passer Knight is...and this isn't saying much at all
Miroslav: Liked what I saw from him.
Khris: Off night, really. He needs to stay in the starting line-up. This is exactly what I was talking about by Drew pulling young player on the rise. He's out of rhythm now. You don't **** with the hot hand. At his age, he needs time to work with it!

Words can not describe how I loathe Coach Drew's philosophy. I will not be able to take another season of this garbage. I'm all aboard our Tank. But, he's gotta go.

giannis was ridiculous tonight. You could see how frustrated he was when his idiot teammates wouldn't get him the ball. after all those boards in the 4th he went coast to coast and was completely unstoppable. he has a massive ceiling.

I am so sick of watching **** luke ridnour and knight not give giannis the ball. especially that play in teh fourth when giannis had his guy sealed in the post and ridnour just straight up ignored him. just infuriating. these two are just clowns.

i would honestly rather have giannis come off the bench then have to share any court time with those 2 morons. its just disugting to watch. larry drew can **** himself for not calling any offensive sets for giannis. we have our best player just sitting on the wing, while knight and ersan play some garbage 2 man game and hoist up long 2s. its just disgusting. larry drew should be ashamed of himself. he is a terrible **** coach.

Surprised no one has mentioned how horrible Ersan looked too. Total shell of his former self.

Oh well. It isn't Giannis' fault if he's such a better basketball player than the rest of these chumps. If they're going to treat a great kid like crap, while still taking home a paycheck three times the size of his, then they're all just bitter idiots.

The one where Knight looked at Giannis wide open then tried to pass to Ersan who was being doubled by Giannis' man was great. Giannis looked at Knight and just raised his arms like WTF?

So unfortunately couldn't watch the game. Had to go to a holiday party. Sanders elbowed Adams in the face? God he's so crazy. And not in the good way. In the hood way.
The Bulls are the absolute worst.

I think the way Gannis gets frozen out is all on the coaching.

Most of the players are just out to get theirs, and we end up with multiple guys taking multiple terrible shots every game. There is no demand to play any certain kind of way, much less accountability for failing to do as instructed. He really just makes a crappy team worse with his lack of direction. Larry's a good tanker, but I'd still be worried about lack of improvement from young players while he's at the helm.
