PG Pacers - Giannis Giannis Giannis!

[MickeyDavis]

Good learning experience for AJJ. Hali schooled him and he got 4 quick fouls. But you learn (hopefully) from playing against the best.

[JimmyTheKid]

In the “please don’t run up the score” argument, I've always sided with the 80s Miami Hurricanes, if you don’t want Giannis to score, stop him.

Plus it felt like Carlisle trying to pull one over on the Bucks by yanking his starters with 6 minutes left. Thats an eternity. Props to Griffin for not falling for it. I know he had to bring the guys back in anyway but still.

Earlier this season some on the board were kicking the tires on “what could we get for Giannis”

Same thing was happening during the playoffs of our Finals march.

Pretty sure we haven't seen dude since

Yeah Hali is a tough cover for anyone. AJJ did ok. But he definitely impacted the game immediately during his early minutes. We went down 6 or 8 to up 4 in a matter of minutes. Unfortunately, when Griffin called his number the second time, Dame had two quick turnovers and Griff brought Payne in for AJJ for ball handling duties, and he didn't play another meaningful minute. Hopefully this is the beginning of a real chance at cracking the rotation. But I'm not holding my breath.

We play them twice in the next couple weeks right?

Giannis going to go HAM

Is he going to score eleventy hundred next time?

[JayMKE]

Indiana is the legit definition of bush league

Giannis should Dunleavy Carlisle on the sideline next time we play

[chonestown]

I love how Woj’s last tweet was a recap of what went down, completely absolving the Pacers and making Giannis look like a child, when there is more video out there showing the smirking pacers staffer taking the ball back with Giannis trying to get the ball from him, arguing. ESPN hates Milwaukee.

Apparently Myles Turner and Hield were mocking him and not giving the ball back. Turner should try to find his heart because I’m pretty sure Giannis ripped it out and left it underneath the hoop. It’s absolutely hilarious what he does to that guy

frickin heidl

Imagine going out of your way to upset the most petty superstar since Jordan. Giannis is going to murder them forever and then raise his kids to do the same.

[German Athens]

AJJ reminds me of Donte defensively but a 95th percentile athlete.

Frenetic on the defensive end, but their greatest ability is processing speed and blowing things up off-ball by just reading the play.

That play where he stripped Turner comes to mind. That wasn’t his assignment, he just ripped the ball away as he was gliding around the screen.

Lucky for us, that off-ball defense has always been more valuable than on-ball. Dre also has quite a bit of potential on-ball, but I think it’s a bit behind the other stuff defensively. His impact was undeniable this game.

[wallus]

No way this should have been allowed on the home floor. Giannis should have told them he will give the rookie this game ball when he breaks the franchise record the next time we play them. If I could bet on a fight next game, I would.

[JayMKE]

they should have held hali hostage until the ball was returned

I think the guy holding Giannis back in this video is the Bucks staffer who grabbed the ball right after the buzzer…but he no longer has the ball here. Combine that with the Pacers players clearly taunting Giannis and telling them to not give the ball to him, I’ve seen enough.

Coach is a total Weinar

TBF, there was a rumble out there on the promenade.

[jakecronus8]

Does anyone know whom actually legally owns the ball? In baseball I believe the visiting teams provide the game balls.

[TroyD92]

This is fun. Thanasis hooking his arm around Jae's so it forced Jae to hold him back was beyond **** hilarious

[MikeIsGood]

Unfortunately, everyone looks bad. Like outside looking in, both teams and all players involved look bad. Is what it is - I still think we're "right" here and Rick and the Pacers are egotistical douche bags - but we absolutely do look bad to like 95% of the sports population.

[Ron Swanson]

Yeah, it's time. Gotta find a way to keep Andre in the rotation even when Pat comes back. Think I heard at one point he was +15 before the garbage time lineup evaporated the 20-point lead. Dude was the only guy who could bother Haliburton at times.

[Perishable517]

Just heard the Pacer GM died from internal bleeding.

RIP

Maaan, I just spit coffee! Lol

Fixed it

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.

Yep. He, and the rest of thr team, will remember this. Remember how the media has been treating them with disrespect.

Like someone said earlier, this feels like a turning point
