Anyone watching on the Pacers feed?

It's funny listening to their announcers. Every time there is a foul call against them it's "this is a physical game, you have to let them play."

AJ Green can't do any of those things at all.

lol what now? no one here thinks AJ Green is any of those things. not one person. and yet, there is a certain zest that emanates from this forum for that man. i have thought about this a lot and have come to the conclusion that AJ Green is, for many forum peeps, the Buck that most resembles what they themselves would look like if they were to somehow find their way onto an nba court. Or more simply, it's the guy they can relate to the most.

white, nothing special athletically, works his ass off, dead eye shooter.

Don't know if you saw the debate the other day, but supposedly AJ Green is one of our top defenders.

But yes, I think people love him for the reasons you say.....specifically the white and nothing special athletically.

It's not easy being Green.

Remember the point of emphasis that you couldn't veer backward into a defender and get the call? Ah points of emphasis, so good at lasting 6 games

When AJJ actually learns how to defend individuals in this league instead of relying on instinct, he's going to be so **** good.

That is a couple of star calls for Hali

AJJ being taken to the woodshed

That wasn’t a foul on Dre.

Haliburton and Giannis calling their own fouls.

Of course, the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

I think we all wish we had more to go on with Griffin. I suspect the FO feels the same way, along with ownership. And I think they are going to work affirmatively to get more to go on before they make a decision on him.

Nobody's asking for blind faith in Griffin. Literally nobody. The rest is pointless verbiage and also the Bucks FO took a look at the evidentiary options on those & other resumes and picked Griffin to handle our Giannis Window, so.
You are right though it's not a finished product and demanding the axe now when these things take time and we dont know what the final form look like isn't really reasonable-- Bucks FO no doubt is working with Grif on all the things but switching horses now just means they'd have to do it all over again so why would they.

What is Giannis shooting at the line in his last 10 games?
