The Bulls just helped the Bucks, beating a tired Cleveland team in double OT.

Bucks are only one game behind the Cavs in the loss column.

I watched most of the Bulls-Cavs and that game was bonkers. The Bulls had the most total rebounds in an NBA game this season and I'm guessing they're near the top of the list for offensive rebounds in a game. It seemed like it was almost a strategy to miss a shot and then in the fight for the loose ball they'd get a better look than they can get in a conventional set. They also had some guy named Bitim who played major minutes and scored his first career points tonight.

Lebron can still be the best dude on the floor on any given night. Still amazing to watch when he does it.

Haha.

It's incredible, even after watching Giannis the last five years.

He bends the floor to his will better than anyone ever.

Also, anyone who thinks Giannis is a great passer should watch the fourth quarter of this Lakers v Clippers game and learn what great passing is

Giannis IS a great passer. Lebron's just an absolute unicorn and it's unfair to compare literally any big-man in NBA history to him (other than Jokic).

Only Steph Curry is a great shooter, and everyone else in league history is absolute ****.

Agreed, and the steroid thing is hilarious. I really would not doubt that most of these athletes, including our favorite ones are taking PEDs.

Precious had been logging low to mid 40s for like a 2 week stretch recently too.

Giannis is a phenomenal passer, and plays against completely different defenses than what present day Lebron faces. Teams don't commit to stopping Lebron like they do Giannis, because Lebron doesn't bring it on a nightly basis.

Finally putting that free LP to use. Pretty cool.

He's a good passer and he's a willing passer, but he consistently passes late and off target way more than truly great passers do.

It's okay that he isn't the greatest at everything.
