We’re clearly better than last year.

Night and Day from Beasley. Trent and Prince have both been great so far.

Didn't see the first but would be refreshing for a 19-22 Bud era third quarter demolition.

The coaching is on a different level, and I think the 3 new additions help a lot. I hated watching games from the beginning last year, but I genuinely saw a semblance of a really disciplined team that half that has me excited, even when the game was closer in the 1st quarter

I'll chalk it up to just being game 1. But yeah, for someone who has been talking up their offseason a lot, he looks like he doesn't have the same burst to get by defenders.

He’s slow as hell lol

I actually have no idea what you guys are talking about, I think I saw Dame get to the basket with no resistance 5+ times that half.

Yeah but he couldn’t do it every time.

Good Lord ESPN is a difficult product to watch. Thankfully mute exists.

Much like I did last year after the Knicks game in the IST, I’ll be heading to Poto as soon as possible to lay a bag on this team winning it all.

Quickly learned I'mma have to save pod listening for the Bucks this season. We're spoiled with the Brewers. Even the backup broadcasters are fine. No one on the Bucks telecasts are remotely okay.

If Giannis finishes with 29 points I will win $200 also known as two full tanks of gas.

Or what you find in your couch cushions.

The idea that the number of fouls drawn should scale linearly with number of actions is maddening

Alright, Eric T., settle down.

Free chicken with Giannis at the line is easy chicken

SupremeHustle · Post #235 » by **SupremeHustle** » Thu Oct 24, 2024 1:07 am

Should Giannis keep practicing free throws or should he dedicate that time to learning how to rebound and/or set screens?

Dame is great at getting behind guys when they overplay him on the three point line. He gets a couple layups a game doing that. When the defender is in front of him in a stance, he gets no separation. It seems like guys are able to catch back up when he has half a step too.

He looks great despite that and I don’t think he/we needs him to blow past guys.

Guys hitting 3s off Giannis' passes is nice.

Prince needs to boogie

Brook looking pretty forgettable at everything besides being a big human right now.
