Maybe he is our surprise defensive weapon for the upcoming Celtics game?

I think AJ green and dre were switched tonight.

Aj green got real game minutes and Dre was put back in garbage time role.

Unfortunately AJ didn't shine. I'd like to see him get another shot but not at Dre expense.

Played with food for 3 quarters is the only way to describe that defense, it's so bad lol....im not going to think about it too much, bucks were definitely coasting. Giannis was unstoppable. Anytime he felt the team needed a bucket he just went and dunked or finger rolled. Just crazy. He was automatic.

Khris looked good and has looked good, his shot is silky smooth.

Beas in the 4th around 3- 4 minutes left had a dagger three, and I think he was being heckled on a corner three from Courtside fans. Because he was pissed!

He turned and screamed something back. He was hot! Then on the way to the bench he was still jawing at them and said 'look at the scoreboard' and waved bye. SAVAGE! :lol:

just destroyed those fans.

I have ripped on Beas a lot (mainly D fit) but I'm loving those 3 bombs and loved that emotion!!

BTW when the game started I was like wait... This is a tank job right? That wizards team is just so awful.

I think he's made one shot since Lisa gave him that awful nickname, trying to one-up me. Stay in your lane, Byington.

Tonight was one of the worst nicknames, with Pat 'straight outta' Connaughton

I thought Marques was the one that brought that up tonight.

Giannis last 6 games:

WAS 42/13/8
DAL 40/15/7
CHA 16/8/9
CHI 35/11/2
ORL 35/10/7
IND 54/12/3

I think Giannis got his legs back.

It's great to watch but it's a shame we needed Giannis to spent so much energy to beat the Wizards.
We need to improve our defense. Just to a decent enough level.

We're "funneling" them to Lopez at the rim but if some guards/wings are quick, have decent vision or have an elite floater they can burn us anyway. We always had that problem but at least it wasn't that easy to penetrate our perimeter in the past.
Marjon, AJJ and Crowder when he comes back have to play on the wings. If the defense remains that bad for months we have to trade for a defensive guard.

Offense looks amazing and versatile though.

Yeah that was awesome... some Duncan.. he should do that more, it's tough to block since you don't even have to all the way face the basket

Poole is absolutely disgusting.

We've simplified the offense for Giannis. Guys are standing on the squares, but that defense WOOF. Like I'm glad we're tinkering, but Bud with Dame man. Bud with Dame.

Giannis is feelin it. He's out there vibing.

Washington might be the worst team in the league but it was nice to see us put the game away when it was time to do so.

5-4 with Crowder
5-0 without Crowder

I re-watched the game and I noticed Dame shouting at Giannis "YOU, YOU!" multiple times while Giannis was watching at him ready to give him the ball after a rebound.

Either Dame was tired and wanted to coast this game for a bit or he wasn't 100% and he wanted to protect himself until he was really needed.

We’ve talked plenty about the absence of perimeter D on this team which he would provide, but he’s also very much a tone setter and that could change our identity on that end pretty tangibly.

The offense will continue to improve.

My Wizards have Delon Wright. He could help the Bucks.

No need for defense against the Wizards? He had that back brace on, maybe just being careful? He banged a coaches wife?

The Wizards will almost certainly be able to get something for him making this question moot but if they don't he seems like a decent candidate to get bought out post trade deadline, no?

Almost feels like a troll job by Griffin at this point.

Absolutely love Bilal Coulibaly. He's going to be a stud.

So far this year, I’ve really liked Giannis’s patience in the pick n roll as a ball-handler. He’s been putting guys on his back more often, ensuring he has the man advantage and then toasting the bigs at the rim.

In the past, he’s mostly tried to fly past the screener, and at times he’d be out of control, or the primary defender didn’t get properly screened. He’s dabbled with putting guys on his back, but never seemingly this often. I’d like to see this continue.
