This game looks so chaotic and anarchic, im not enjoying it.
Many mistakes and bad shots from the Greeks.

Agreed. And I know that a number of guys on here want to bash Drew, the former Bucks management and now the Greek team for certain aspects of Giannis not getting enough playing time nor being featured the right way.

Frankly I don't think you could ask anymore from the end result though of how he has developed over the past 12-months. His game is progressing naturally at a very measured but significant pace, which is really what you want for someone as young as he and with as little experience as he had.

I agree, I think the Bucks plan was to give Giannis little pieces of the game at different points of the season. I think they were worried about overwhelming him. Can't excuse the DNPs though

Giannis had an okay game, aside from not hitting his 3s, one missed in the first half and two in the 3rd quarter. He went to the bench for the rest of the game shortly after missing the back-to-back 3 attempts.

I think giannis is one of those rare players that everyone can see his potential 10 years from now. So everyone is in a big rush to develop him rather than let it happen naturally. When you see a player that has a ceiling of Durant /magic you can't blame fans wanting to see him play 48 minutes every game

it's very hard to get consistent good efficiency or +/- with limited minutes. Everytime he is on the court, you could feel his presence, he is just all over the court on defense and on offense. It's a shame that he is being given 13-15 mpg only.

On the bright side, Kidd seems determined to run the team through Giannis and Parker

I have to expect him to still have some decent holes in his game when extension time comes. Hopefully protecting the ball isn't a big problem in Year #3. I think making enough good decisions to earn 32-35 minutes would be really exciting this year.

Giannis to earn more playing time with our NT needs to be reliable from the 3pt land. Plus he is playing behind an other NBAer SF with much more experience.

As soon as we are playing good basketball and we are winning i am pleased. Giannis will be the star of our team on the next big tournament. He has plenty of time ahead of him

Game starts in few minutes, lets hope we see more of Giannis

Giannis is so good at so many different things. Another thing he is just instinctively good at is cutting. He has been missed 3 different times now by these weak teammates.

breakchains · Post #571 » by **breakchains** » Mon Sep 1, 2014 6:29 pm

Finally gave him one and he gets two FTs out of it.

And then on the next play, Calathes is late to see it but eventually passes it to him, only for a teammate to snatch the pass and turn it over.

first time I'm watching them and 15 is pretty good

breakchains · Post #573 » by **breakchains** » Mon Sep 1, 2014 6:33 pm

Giannis is murdering these guys on the cuts. If they were ready, he'd have 10 points already.

I don't think his teammates are weak, so much as they're stubborn about their roles and the way that the Greek team should play their brand of basketball.

Giannis needs to drive more when he does get the ball and take less threes because his confidence seems shot and he isn't going to be knocking those down as long as it is. It's also leading to Katsikaris taking him out (his failure to hit the threes he's taking).

I agree that they overlook him, too often. At times I've wondered how much he really fits in with the guys from this national team.

Agreed, I like Zisis a lot. He's a good point guard.

Zisis had more potential back in 2006,
Then Varejao happened.

He broke his orbital bone. He played much more scared after that.

15 is Printezis btw.

I think Knight should watch Zisis if he ever hopes to become a proper PG.

15 pt game, giannis might want to let that dunk go

Dcebucks11 · Post #578 » by **Dcebucks11** » Mon Sep 1, 2014 7:50 pm

y does giannis shoot so many 3s... needs to take that sheet to the rack.

Remon · Post #579 » by **Remon** » Mon Sep 1, 2014 7:57 pm

That's more like it. Wasn't expecting him to move that fast to steal the ball.
