GT76: Wizards vs. Giannis and the Giannises 

Post#1 » by dorianwrite » Tue Apr 2, 2024 11:45 pm

Hey, my first time creating a game thread in my over 20 years here.

Tristan "Giannis Is My Bitch" Vukcevic has led the Wiz to a mere one-point deficit after the first quarter.

As I am the only person watching this game, I am duty-bound to report for the historical record that Marvin Bagley has gone down clutching his knee. It was probably a foul, but only Giannis get those calls.

The Bucks will regret hurting Marvin Bagley III, as this means more minutes for Tristan "Splash Mountain II: Electric Boogaloo" Vukcevic.

Welcome, CntOutSmrtCrazy, to what Dave Johnson and Glenn Consor would call a Wizards Party.

As the Bucks will learn, they have to guard Corey Kispert. He won't miss all his 3-point shots. I mean, he isn't Patrick Baldwin, Jr.

Giannis can throw his body into everyone's chest but you can barely do it to him on defense is exactly what's wrong with today's NBA.

I hadn't watched any of the first half but just checked in and we are still in it. Going to watch a bit and we'll see what happens in the 2nd.

If the Wizards win this, does that mean I have to create the next game thread? It might be too much pressure for me.

How can you not love the way Deni plays? He's now the perfect combination of aggressive, always looking to get his teammates open shots, rebounds, and plays defense. The ball needs to be in is hands more, good things happy when he gets touches.

I am liking what I am seeing from Tristan so far. He needs to bulk up but he is certainly skilled.

Jared Butler is a keeper. Very smart player, calm and collected.
