According to the Giannis partisans, he would be 13/12 at half. You know, if he was playing.

Bucks fan here. I'm definitely not drunk and have nothing bad to say about Jokic. I lean Giannis for MVP, but Jokic is definitely deserving too.

Check out the box score, lol

Good game to the Grizzlies. Fun and tough team. Suns honestly deserved to lose by 20+ tonight.

Seemed like they came in thinking they'd coast to an easy W with grizzlies starters out.

Oh well on to the next. More annoyed my bets lost ha

This is a guy who has no blow by ability and got 11 free throws this half by sweeping through defenders' arms. It's disgusting basketball.

The biggest call, or none call, of the first half, was the refs swallowing their whistle on Towns' 4th foul. That could significantly impact the game going forward. I don't care that he's a star player, you can't swallow your whistle on a play like that.

Huh?

Wasn't he pretty speedy combo guard type or am i thinking of someone else? He kinda starting getting recognition closer to the draft so i might be thinking of a different scouting report.


Chris Paul? Speedy combo guard?

Quite obvious the Suns have been off. Gotta have one every once in a while, right?

Are bucks trying to give up 200 points to show Giannis' importance?

The Suns locked up home court advantage throughout the playoffs like 2 weeks ago. They're literally just playing exhibition games right now.

It's not exactly a surprise they haven't looked as good these past couple of weeks as they have throughout the season - this happens every year to every team that has nothing to play for anymore.


Yes, I'm aware of that. That still doesn't excuse it. Especially against top contenders in west. Especially a team that constantly talks about going for every W.

Let's not act like they didn't care, that just a BS excuse.
