Game 49: Bucks at Hornets - 2/5/25 - 6:00 - FDSWI

[Prez]

Are we really turning Dame having a good game against a trash Hornets team down like 7 players into Giannis being a basketball dimwit?

Here's a thought - how about Dame recognizes he's a top 75 guy and it's his 2nd year here, he can just play with aggression whenever he wants, whether Giannis is on court with him or not. It's why we **** traded for him, to be that dude on O.

Dimwit no but clearly he struggled to adjust his playstyle to another superstar in the lineup with him. You think Jokic would have the same issue working well with Dame?

Jokic might literally be the smartest player in the league, definitely has the best feel, however you want to describe it. There's a pretty wide gap between that and straight up low IQ, which is what some here are suggesting.

If Giannis has low bball IQ whatever the **** that means who has a high bball IQ?

Jokic? Lebron? I mean those are the types of guys we are talking about as his peers. No one is ever saying Giannis has nearly the same level of feel for the game as those guys.

Ok sure but he’s pretty damn close. How many no look behind the back passes to the corner pocket does he have to make. I have seen both Jokic and Lebron force bad shots at time as well. If we are trading him against the two smartest players in the league that’s a tough grading curve

Well thats whats limiting him from being top 5 ever which is what I said.

Bucks vs Celtics this past December.

Bucks down 1 with a minute to go. Giannis with the ball in transition with only a back peddling 55 year old Al Horford in front of him. Giannis pulls up and jacks a garbage 3.

Example #3,683 of why Giannis has an atrocious BBIQ.

Still a great player but he would be the greatest cheat code in NBA history if his BBIQ was solid.

Two lane violations called on us in the last couple of games and I just wonder why teams are allowed to get away with it when Giannis is at the line?

[Magic Giannison]

Brooks rebounding really frustrates me, how does a big and strong guy like him doesnt grab boards.

[PG Graveyard]

This Saloon guy needs to settle down

I won't complain about that considering how much time they give him to shoot the free throws

[PG Graveyard]

These wide open misses from Green are freaking me out

[blazza18]

AJ Green can brick a shot with the best of them. What a weird shooter.

[SupremeHustle]

Giannis is a smart player. Situational awareness has never been his strong suit. Might be an ego thing, maybe bravado, maybe he doesn't know his limitations because he doesn't think he has any, but I don't question his BBIQ.

Thanks for coming to my Mike Talk.

[Magic Giannison]

Rollins has some very good flashes, id keep this guy

[Bernman]

Why doesn't Doc give AJ Johnson run in garbage time? I'd have liked another window into our bright future after last game...

[SupremeHustle]

Utility Pat is the best Pat. I bet he could give us 5-8 playoff minutes and not screw anything up.

[Matches Malone]

Probably showcasing Tyler Smith now with these minutes.

Tyler Smith is a better prospect. At least I hope so.

[stillgotgame]

Tyler Smith being showcased before being included in a trade for Jordan Poole tomorrow.

[randy84]

If the Bucks can unload Pat it will be a miracle.

[SupremeHustle]

Interesting that they are running pick and rolls with Tyler and not pick and pops.
