Goga out, concussion protocol.

WCJ will be guarding Giannis. Paolo needs to keep Lopez's big ass off the boards. We need quick guards to double the freak and defend Dame. Queen has to step up if KCP cant play.

Surprised Queen is shooting 37.5% from 3 BTW even if its on low volume. I hope he can keep shooting above average.

I am always surprised to see how bad Lopez is at rebounding; I know nowadays he just camps out at the 3-point line, but he is averaging 6 total rebounds a game for his career (4.7 this year), which seems ridiculous for a player his size.

I’ve heard some high level praise of him being a selflessly effective box-out guy and that he has a tremendous effect on team rebounding on every team he’s been with, particularly late in his career…Have to look for that.

Makes sense, especially with a rip and go guy like Giannis

yeah Brook boxes out, plays at the 3pt line and contests shots. Its awesome how he re-invented himself into a 3+D big man when he wasnt really good at either of those things when he was younger.

When he was till in BKN the guy averaged double digit boards but during Giannis peak, the guy gets praises all over for being able to box out his opponents for his team to sevure the board.

Makes sense when you have a freight train like Giannis in the fast break

While we’re trying to guard Giannis and Dame, meanwhile Portis goes for 50. We just need someone on our end to neutralize Portis’ points.

I felt like Goga needed rest anyway, he hasnt made a strong impact in a long time.

And last couple times we played Bucks, Giannis just abused him.

I have very little faith in Wendell and Isaac holding down the center spot tonight.
