Those old pictures of the Antetokounmpos are great. Thanasis looks the exact same. Haha

Will watch them on television. Due to business trips planned in September I will watch from TV/PC what I can.
However if we advance and can grab tickets I am tempted to go to Lille, it is a 5:30-6 hr easy drive.

A Milwaukee visit is a definite visit for me in the future if not this season then the next, which I hope to combine with some Craft Brewery visits in Minnesota, Chicago and Michigan. The problem is I bet the fishing is also good there, so I have to convince wife and kids that I will return

I'm no fisherman but you'd be looking at ice fishing for most of the season

Minnesota? Wisconsin has better craft breweries than Minnesota and Illinois so you'd be crazy to pass up Madison. I can name over 10 breweries in or within a 30 minute radius of Madison right off the top of my head without even thinking too hard. Ale Asylum, Karben4, One Barrel, Wisconsin Brewing Company, Tyranena, Parched Eagle, Great Dane, Vintage, Capital, Grumpy Troll, Hop Haus, Next Door. You'd honestly be better off checking out Madison after Milwaukee and then swinging through Lagunitas in Chicago and 3 Floyd's in Munster on the way to Michigan.This thread has some good info and I am an encyclopedia of Madison beer knowledge so just let me know if you have any questions.

8 boards is likely low if he's a pf. Closer to 10 IMO.

His defense was his biggest point along with insanely good and fast plays at 3 with addition of some great shooting.

EDIT: check this out

Watching the highlights initially I didn't even recognize Giannis coz he looked thicker.

Thanks for the links I will check it out. Wisconsin is for sure in the program since I will plan to be for the games as well in the area.
MI is planned mainly for Surly which I love, I had so many glasses with Todd and Linda at the European festivals so it is on my top visit areas. I will definitely contact you when I arrange a visit. My cellar has probably any european beer you wish for, I would be happy to bring over :wink:

Regarding Eurobasket 2015 Schedule , I have posted it on the first page ,1st post.
Here it is again:

Eurobasket 2015 (Germany, France, Croatia , Latvia)

http://www.eurobasket2015.org/

Greece is in Group C against : Netherlands, Croatia, Slovenia , Georgia, F.Y.R.O.M . First 4 qualify for the Knockouts (it is more likely that Henson will have 95% in FT next season , than for Greece not to make the next stage).

Group Games:
5th September : Greece - FYROM 18:00 (CET) (11:00 AM CT Zone)
6th September : Greece - Croatia 21:00 (CET) (02:00 PM CT Zone)
8th September : Greece - Georgia 18:00 (CET) (11:00 AM CT Zone)
9th September : Greece - Slovenia 15:00 (CET ) (08:00 AM CT Zone)
10th September : Greece - Netherlands 21:00 (CET) (02:00 PM CT Zone)

Final is on the 20th of September. So the latest date that Giannis will be back in Milwaukee, will probably be around 22-23rd of September.

14/7.5/3.2/1.4

with very good FG% and FT%
any progress with his 3pt % is a bonus to me

his FG%, FT%, Blks, defensive effort/abilities, makes him a solid starter
and hes only 21years old

RealBucksFan · Post #653 » by **RealBucksFan** » Wed Sep 2, 2015 11:09 pm

My prediction for Giannis's stats: 16.5/7.8/3.3/1.0 STLs/1.4 Blks on 50/29/70 shooting. I think there is a possibility that Giannis's FT stroke is thrown off by the adjust adjustments to his shot.

Giannis averaged 16.3 PPG last March and averaged 8.1 RPG last February. After the start of February, he shot 45-100 from 15-24 feet.

If Giannis takes jump shots regularly next season and gets more playing time at PF, he could really have a major breakout season. Ersan held him back - without Ersan on the floor, Giannis will have to get much more involved in the offense.

I tried to be conservative with my estimates. Monroe will be productive and MCW will hog the ball at times. But Giannis still should have a significant jump from his totals from last season.

14 PPG would be a major disappointment and would likely mean that we would need to stop hyping Giannis as a star. That would mean Giannis regressed from the end of last season and we don't want that. Or, if he didn't regress, it would mean he failed to get a major role in the offense, which would be unfortunate.

I'm expecting anywhere from 16 to 18. The final number doesn't matter to me as much as seeing him take another step forward in his game. Right now seeing him hit the 3 ball in Greece has me excited. I could see a jump in his ppg from that alone.

There may be a good opportunity for an exchange here. We'll work something out when you get a date in mind.

My women loves to go on vacation to the USA. We have been to Vegas, Miami and NYC.

She wants to go to LA and San Francisco next.

Any ideas how I could talk my wife into a trip to Milwaukee during the NBA Season (she hates cold weather) :lol:

She does not drink beer also....

She likes shopping....

I heard there is the biggest mall of the USA in Minnesota (but thats no in MIlwaukee...but quite near).

Any ideas?

With Monroe next to him? That would be pretty impressive.

Chicago is pretty close and a major metropolitan city. You could plan it that way.

That was my first idea but Chi Town in the Winter is cold also. I think Chicago as a one stop vacation would
not match a round trip LA and San Francisco :lol:

Fortunately I never told here that Giannis is playing in Milwaukee :lol:

So she would not automatically understand this Chicago thing

I could tell here that Milwaukee has some super cheap outlets bla bla but she would googel it :lol:
