PG Pacers - Giannis Giannis Giannis!

That was not Jason Kidd. That was, I believe, Woelful quoting Caron Butler

I thought Jerryd Bayless said it. Something like Giannis will never average more than 17 points a game. Maybe that's a different thing.

You might be right, it was definitely his rookie year, which Kidd was not a part of.

I also remember it as Butler via Woelfel. But I don't remember if it was reported as Butler or if we just inferred that from their relationship and it was just like "one unimpressed veteran".

Khris having a terrible handle is something we've seen for many years so you live with it. But had another very nice game. 14/9/7 in 29 minutes. He played 32 in the OT game Monday night. Settling in at 30 is about right. We'll see if he goes B2B this weekend. Probably not.

2 monumental moments for the Bucks in their own building and that lame ass d1ckhead Carlisle takes the ball to give to some scrub rookie who scored 8pts in garbage time? The bitterness is strong with this one, I hope Giannis and company remember this when we play them again in a few weeks. We better not lose to Indiana again this season. This is insanely irritating on all fronts. Why would the road team even think they could leave a blow out loss with the game ball in the 1st place? What a bunch of losers.

**** the Pacers. I hope Giannis scores 70 on them next time.

That was a pretty complete win. Will AJJ start seeing some more time or was that just us trying something out against Indy specifically?

i have a feeling it's going to be matchup dependent. aj green wouldn't have helped us much tonight. we needed fast defenders so he pulled the Andre/Marjon trigger.

Just cut up the ball and give everybody a piece.

The best D the pacers played tonight was hiding the ball from Giannis in their locker room.

Giannis played magical basketball. How lucky are we all to be a Bucks supporter in the Giannis era. Thanks a lot Giannis for bringing such joy to Milwaukee and Wisconsin.

[fan230]

Rick Carlisle is a mean individual.

Lost in the chaos was we were one garbage time Nwora jump shot from 140-124.

**** you Nwora! **** you!

[HKPackFan]

I missed the game but I got a couple texts with 64 in it.

The crazy thing is, I didn't even know if it was Dame or Giannis. Imagine we have 2 players capable of such a thing.

So I had to watch it on delay and Giannis was glorious.

It's incredible but since it's almost 3am I'm too tired to add more superlatives.

Never thought I would see the day.

Bucks killer tj was tamed by ajj. He let tj score a few but made it difficult in him.

What a weird interview by Melanie. During such an exciting, happy moment. So robotic. So straight-faced. So somber sounding.

She's always been a fish out of water as an interviewer, imo. I give her a pass here though, Giannis going for blood down the opponent's tunnel probably had everyone walking on eggshells.

Bucks beat reporter challenge: Ask a question without using "kind of" or "sort of"

seriously.. where do they get these people?

I've just finished the game. It felt like I've watched the entire Godfather trilogy in one go..
I'm exhausted...

Several times tonight Middleton was stretching his right leg in an odd way. He would lean forward putting his weight on his bent left and extend his right leg back behind him, like a 1st baseman stretching forward to catch a ball while keeping his right leg on the base. (apologies for the bad description)

He did that before the game during warmups, during a couple of timeouts, and once waiting to rebound during a Pacer FT. It didn't look like he was sore or bothered by the leg, but he did it repeatedly. I couldn't tell which leg he was stretching.

I thought Griffin was using Jackson to wear down Haliburton some. The Pacers are in good condition and like to run opponents hard to wear them out and take advantage in the 4th quarter. Looked like the Bucks were trying to counter that strategy.

When the Bucks were playing their starters against Indiana's white flag unit, I thought Carlisle will be using that as motivation January 1. But 5-minutes was too much time for an 18 point lead. Then the game ball incident happened. I think the Bucks and Giannis will be laser focused January 1 & 3.

The perimeter pressure defense is way too hit or miss, but it does create some disruption. Makes the Bucks look like they have quick hands and slow feet.

Lillard seems out of sync. Played 6-minutes in the 4th quarter, took zero shots, missed his only FT attempt, had 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 TO. Every other starter took at least 2 shots.

Giannis is f'ing awesome. Well done on the 64
