Way way too many possessions of Giannis iso while Dame doesn't touch the ball.

When Giannis won his first MVP at age 24. I thought he would be absolutely destroying the league by the time he was 29.

I think its just effort. When he was young he flew around the court. Now it looks like he picks his spots and those spots are becoming few and far between.

I will always love Giannis and if he retired today he would be a lock for the hall of fame, obviously.

But I think he got a bit complacent after winning the championship. I wasn't expecting that from him. I thought he would be a guy in the Jordan mold where he would be relentless in winning as many titles as possible.

Maybe I set my own expectations for Giannis too high.

Brook has become the modern day Joe Alexander. Refuses to actually grab a rebound, instead opting to tap it out to nobody in particular. Just grab the ball Brook!

Let's not forget this is a b2b game people.

But, you can't have Giannis and Dame scoring 27 points so far, while the rest of our 7 active players have scored a combined 20 points.
Brook and Portis have been disastrous on defense (and offense tbh). We somehow constantly let players alone on the 3 pt line. Like, are we stupid?

Maybe we should force some more fouls on them on the 2nd half. Also wtf, how is Towns still with just 2 fouls?
Let's go Bucks!

Agreed. It's been odd to see how blind people were to his play for so long. His value has tanked since then.

How about in 2nd half start
Dame
Green
Ajax
Tyler
Giannis

He was doing that in the middle of his run as a DPOY candidate. That's always been his thing.

Score another one for "Maybe Griffin wasn't quite as bad as everyone thought".

Brook was cooked last season but everyone thought Griffin just wasn't using him properly.

It looks like Brook played his ass off and used what was left in his tank in 2023 to get that final contract.

I hope so.

Is Adrian Griffin still available?

There's a chance, if we get clobbered badly enough. If we lose the next 3 thru the Raptors at home, I guarantee he's gone.

Wonka · Post #216 » by **Wonka** » Sat Nov 9, 2024 1:56 am

Both can be true: Brook has been an INVALUABLE member of this team and this franchise...AND those years are far in the rearview.

Prunty sounds like knowledgeable coach. Doc sounds like a clown.

Two incredibly dumb fouls to start the half

rilamann · Post #219 » by **rilamann** » Sat Nov 9, 2024 1:58 am

At least Green is pretty good.

Bucks are still a top ten team in opponent FG% inside of five feet, and they give up the second fewest FGA in that space. Brook's still valuable, but you can't take him outside of the paint and ask him to defend on the perimeter.
