PG Washington: Giannis makes Wizards disappear 

Post#1 » by paulpressey25 » Thu Oct 23, 2025 2:26 am

While we all would have liked a 30 point blowout this works.

Props to Horst for signing Gary Trent Jr to a vet min contract while the Nuggets paid Braun $125 million.

Grateful we didn’t have to discuss A.J. Johnson until the final minute.

Hoping Kevin Porter, Jr has a fast recovery on the ankle sprain.

Middleton played very well and the Bucks won. Perfect night.

Did Lisa just say the Bucks get their first deer dump of the season?

Had no idea Thanasis had this kind of fan contingent.

Not to be that guy but 120 points is a lot to give up against possibly the worst team in the league.
In reference to our title winning year

How in the world did Thanasis ever score 27 in a single game?
Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed? You don't need double talk... You need Bob Loblaw.

Funny how some had thought Middleton was at the end. He looks 5 years younger. 2nd best player on the floor tonight

7 dudes in double digits and that's with Bobby having a rough night. Good load sharing imo.

Hopefully KPJ will be fine because the ballhandling was rough at times.

Nice to start off with a win.

The dropoff from Porter to Rollins was pronounced.

That makes more sense, but I'll refrain from saying much more sense :lol:

I love Brook, but the difference between Myles and Brook is incredible.

The constant whistles took some steam out of our defense, but I love the offense.

This is a veteran team so this matters a little less, but I think if you know that they'll win you'd almost prefer a game like tonight where Washington got to within striking distance a few times and getting it to 8 but the Bucks going on a 16-4 run to put the game away

Hope KPJ's all good soon, we need him. I also desperately need Khris back on this team when he gets bought out.

Yeah, Rollins is a defensive dynamo, but he's not a PG yet. I'm not sure if would have picked up Anthony, but good thing we did.

KPJ with athleticism and ball handling unlocks part of the ceiling. Hopefully the ankle doesn't swell too much. Smart not to push him.

Team has maybe never looked this quick and athletic.
