Thanos tied his bro for most rebounds in a game, never thought I'd see that.

We're doing a good job smashing bad teams.

These next two games are huge, I don’t think Giannis is seriously in the mix for a 3rd MVP this year but if he destroys the Pelicans and Clips in B2B national TV games on TNT/ABC I think the conversation will start

His various +/- stats are starting to settle towards where they should and he's trending back towards 30 PER. Add wins to that and he's back there if there's no compelling case for someone else. Could see Jokic slowing and his lack of frontcourt help making it a battle for wins, Embiid is never a safe bet to stay on court and in a groove and Lebron is going to get worn out in these games without Davis. Probably worth a bet at the odds.

I will forever NOT do this.

Clue you into a little thing. We root for Milwaukee. For every douchebag on the GB who said Giannis should leave, same thing rings. I don't care if they haven't figured it out yet. I didn't listen to "WHERE WILL GIANNIS GO", BS for years to turn around and say "Get KAT out!" c'mon.

First 10 games the Bucks shot 40.2 3's pg (made 16.6). Next 10: 37.7 3PA pg (made 14.4). Next 10: 35.7 3PA pg (made 13.6).
Yesterday for the first time more than 40 3PA's since game 21.

It's two completely different situations. Giannis was a superstar and he was on a contender. KAT is not a superstar and he's on a bottom feeder. You say you "don't care if Minnesota hasn't figured it out yet" but how long do you give them? If Minnesota stays a bottom feeder for three more seasons, should KAT re-sign with Minnesota?

You gotta get Naz Reid out of that organization (and into Milwaukee).

8-)

Paschke darkly intoning "something's gonna happen" when Thanasis was subbed in during the 3rd was a personal highlight.

Yes, he's super impressive. Strong, agile, long armed, with a decent outside shot. He used to be a fatty, but continues to improve his conditioning.

Giannis is good. Just need Khris to turn into Kobe.

Far be it for me to tell John Horts how to do his job but I would definitely sign Corey Traig as a street free agent so that the Bucks can get some Zartan-Zandar mirror-image sinister villain energy rolling.

I didn't listen to "WHERE WILL GIANNIS GO" BS for years at all. Just didn't care. So I have freedom here.

Get KAT out!

Another nice win. Way to take care of business against a horrible team. Thought Marques made an astute point about DJA looking a bit more spry, and I agree. He's actually been able to beat guys off the dribble of late. Maybe he's not completely washed and the leg injury was in fact the culprit. Giannis is fully locked in. Guessing a lot of folks don't want to revisit those pre-supermax takez about Giannis' character, and early season takez about his game. Hopefully we have Jrue for the next one and can go streaking.

Giannis shooting 75% from the line is a lofty but reasonable goal for the season and that makes a HUGE difference come playoff time.

Holy **** lmao, I knew it was bad but I didn’t realize DJA was at 32% from 2 this year :rofl:
