I think you probably figure wrong.

OJ Mayo actually played pretty well and Ridnour looked great in spurts.

All of Giannis' points came from drives to the bucket. He wasn't spectacular overall as he was 0/6 when not attempting a dunk or a layup and he was sloppy with the ball at times (all things he can improve with a good offseason), but he showed why he has so much potential with several highlight reel plays.

Middleton couldn't hit a shot to save his life. Knight made some really impressive plays that make you excited about his future potential, all the while completely taking the Bucks out of the game with his poor decision making.

Sanders elbowed Adams in the head/neck area twice resulting in his ejection (he was retaliating to Adams shoving him). It's the third player this season Adams has gotten ejected (Vince Carter, Jordan Hamilton).

If Giannis was playing point guard...

...he'd already be a star.

I absolutely love our bench's reaction. Those savvy vets are really really into such a common play in a basketball game :o

Indeed they did. My favorite is the lady in the white shirt lower left behind our bench. She covers her mouth as if to say:

"OH, that was a dirty dirty play, Giannis!"

Er, Tobias barely got off the bench. I imagine he rarely played with Jennings.

Tobias started last season. A big reason why he didn't last was Jennings icing him out.


My apologies. Our consistently poor handling of young players has addled by brain.

I like how he finished against Ibaka after the pretty strong shove at around 2:05.

The same can be said about Gery's "agenda" or "bias" against Larry Sanders. Yeah, Woelfel sure does seem "obsessed" or "always hating." But in this case it's for good reason. I'm officially done with Larry. He's been nothing but a huge headache since getting paid. Always instigating opponents. Mocking refs. I liked him better when he was a misunderstood, fiery underdog who stuck up for his teammates. Now he's a complete side show. With zero offensive game. I'd trade him yesterday for the right deal.

Eh, apples and oranges. Tobias wasn't a ball-handling/passing savant and never looked nearly as good as Giannis does when starting.

The amazing thing about this play is the Giannis gets stuck in the pick, then fight around it to fly down the lane to block Durants shot, while all the vets are standing and watching Durant burn them. I bet Durant was surprised!

Those Giannis highlights above are pretty ridiculous.

Obviously he was fired up to play Durant, but still amazing stuff.
