Yep, can't even be mad at the team. Refs won this game with multiple bad calls. Complete BS.

Ref screw job and Giannis taking the dumbest last possession shot you can draw up.

We’re learning that Giannis plus four replacement players *can’t* win 50 games.

Giannis has been injured for a hot minute. Nothing serious but he's not at 100%.
If we were healthier and had a better record, he'd be sitting.

That said, what the hell are the refs doing these past 2 games? It's almost enough to make you think they really want us to lose and force someone to leave the team.
Also, if we grabbed like 3 rebounds more we'd win. More effort, people!

It looked to me like Giannis didn't have burst today, and his legs went on the middie in the second half.

Bucks playing better ball, but need some athletes to rebound. Bucks had no problem creating great shots all game. Keep running the offense through Giannis.

Giannis is the most unstoppable force at the hoop in NBA history. Last possession was amazing.

Yup, break Dame in to 3 good players, and we roll.

Can we talk about how our starting center had 5 pts. and 3 rebs. in 30 mins of play. Just abysmal.

Hard to be mad at the guy but christ

Giannis put up 22-15-12. If that's what apathetic looks like to you, I don't know what to tell you.

I was describing his demeanor not his statistical output.

It’s going to be tough if it’s 8 on 5 every night for us.

Oh man...LaMelo Ball tripped over his own feet there. Bucks don't have a challenge left though. Really badly blown by call by the official.

Jim Owczarski

Again, Giannis Antetokounmpo called for a questionable foul in the closing moments of a game. LaMelo Ball appeared to slip on his own. He has a chance to hit go-ahead free throws with 7.3 seconds left.

Do not like Giannis settling for the jumper there.

Body language doctor? I would still not agree. He’s not at home feeding off a crowd and putting up monster points. Totally different flow. Felt normal to me.

No you can't, cause he rides Disney trains with Giannis and gets 2-3 blocks per game ...

BUCKnation · Post #36 » by **BUCKnation** » Sat Nov 16, 2024 10:37 pm

Giannis has to go the rim there and obviously that was an awful call, but we get a double digit win if we could secure a rebound during those stretches.

I want to see the 2 minute report

It's even worse, because I don't think the Hornets had anyone on the court over 6'8 and Brook still couldn't do anything.

At least the general board agrees that the call on Giannis was atrocious. That never happens.

There were two dudes plus Grant waiting to help in the paint. The options were 1) Giannis barrel to the rim out of control against multiple defenders 2) Giannis jumper 3) open 3 from the wing. Latter two are probably both 40% looks. With Middleton on vacation and Dame head injury we couldn't do much better
