Game 16: Wizards at Bucks - 11/24/23 - 7:00 - BSWI - Giannis Will Play

[soxperry]

after seeing Andre against Boston, one of our big priorities should be to get him as ready as possibly for the playoffs. Give him the hardest assignment every night. give him experience with all the bs foul baiting tricks that guys are going to pull on him. we also need him to shoot more so we can see if his newfound ability is small sample size or for real. if he can hit a 3 at even league average levels, that's it. he should be in the rotation for sure.

Giannis listed as probable with non covid illness

For what's it's worth in regard to Giannis not having a great game vs Boston, he said he had a cold in his post game interview yesterday.

Not to be a smart ass, but he looked like he had some brain fog Wednesday.

Yeah, he talked about having problems processing the game. It just wasn't like him to miss layups that are easy for him or to lose his dribble uncontested.

Giannis downgraded to questionable. He was sick Wednesday night and appears he's worse.

Covid and something else non covid is spreading through mke right now so id be surprised if he goes tonight. Waiting for the round of covid cases this winter the numbers are up and youd have to expect a few players to catch it.

Same thing in Greece right now. Covid and non covid illnesses everywhere.

If Dre is league average from three and isn’t in the starting lineup, we’re going to need a whole lot of torches and pitchforks.

on a quick ass trigger hes 4-8 to start which is kinda nuts considering what the concern was supposed to be.

there is no way AG and the front office isnt high as a kite on this kid. i expect his minutes to ramp up slowly into the 2nd half of the season when it matters but i feel confident hes going to play ......alot

to me as giannis and dame are still getting the hang of each other and khris is assimilating too i think there is also a priority on some vets that kind of know their way around the league being out there instead of throwing out a bunch of young guys every night

The Wiz are 0-3 in the tourney. Their season(s) are over. Easy W for the Bucks.

[slos]

I hope Giannis sits for this one. We don’t need him to win Washington and I love those easy no Giannis no Crowder games to get some more MarJon and AJJ action.

[PG Graveyard]

Giannis is warming up so that’s a good sign

Giannis remembered we had the Wizards and cleared himself up pretty quick.

Giannis is the type who would tough it out for the $$$, but not for himself. He would do it for his teammates so they get the extra $$$. Plus Giannis probably wants the cup more than the money when it comes to him personally.

Don't agree. He's got that desperate, poor kid mentality for life. He's shown time and time again he's highly motivated by money no matter how much he amasses.

This is was presented to me as a true story: Giannis walked out of a condo showing in one of the high rises downtown when they told him how much the HOA fees were.

You're kind of right, but Giannis is also the same guy who said that he didn't even look at the numbers on his recent contract. He just signed it because he wanted to stay in Milwaukee. Giannis is the only guy in the league who could say that and I would take it at face value.

We're probably both kind of right.

Giannis seems like a guy who likes to accumulate money, but doesn't necessarily like to spend it. And of course he's a guy who is going to look out for his family, friends & teammates.

He has a chance to become the first player under 30 with a FMVP and a IstMVP

Credit to Horst, he reportedly pitched Giannis on extending when he did to maximize his career earnings by being able to sign another full 4-year deal before the Over-38 rule affects him and the team signing him. Or something like that, not as up on the CBA as I once was. Money talks to that boy, and that is okay, we can give him the most.

[mediocrityrules]

Marques game. I feel like we've already won.

[Matches Malone]

Beasley is so bad defensively.

[blazza18]

Going for a steal there wrecks the defence. Done that a million times so far this season.
