Giannis & Dame are healthy

Dame looked the most in shape I've seen him in a Bucks uniform to start things off. Seems like he took the offseason very seriously, basically just got whatever he wanted all night and looked great doing it

Dame + Brook had some fantastic chemistry last night. Now we need more of those actions with Giannis

Giannis is my MVP pick this year.

Jokic jumping him all-time and Luka being the new generations favorite has people underestimating this man. Even SGA with one great year is getting better MVP odds smh.

There will be at least one beastly Dame/Giannis year, pretty much everything points it to be this year. Doc has to deliver lol. It’s been an honor to watch this Greek Freak play.

Dame's not in his prime, but I still believe Giannis can net a 2nd one if he's good enough. Still has some athleticism to get to the basket and pour in a 30/10/5 type year. So just has to get through Brunson and Tatum? I believe he can do that, but Bucks need to spice things up with coaching and supporting cast (and Giannis needs to be 100% ready for playoffs).

This can happen, a title can happen, (but they need to experiment).

He's playing well enough for an average year. Dude's rocking 30/13/5 on about 61% TS. The D isn't there and he isn't hitting as hard as he used to on offense, but I don't think anyone would be terribly unhappy if he won an MVP. But he also isn't performing at Jokic's level at the moment, so there's that to consider.

We'll have to wait and see. Giannis remains quite good, and if he's healthy, he'll be in the running, no doubt.

B2B Giannis visibly tired and yet played fantastic defense with a 32.11.6 and 2 blocks.

Ohh also there is this gem

yeah...

Bucks are creeping closer to .500 which is where their srs/net rating pegs them as a +0.5~ team, probably would be there already if they didnt play 4 times vs celtics/cavs (in very close losses at that)

They probably will play as a comfortably above average team from now on/after they get middleton back at least

He really needs to use Dame time to his advantage and pull one off, or he might never win another one. Not much more you can ask out of a 2nd option.

But he literally doesn't use Dame to his advantage. No true screen setting in half-court.

28/8/7 shooting 91% from the floor and 6/6 mid ranges which skyrockets him as the best mid range shooter in the NBA

Giannis will be a Milwaukee Buck next season ?
