They double every time Giannis posts up there have to be opportunities to get open shots.

Bernman wrote:Dame talked a big game and then this is how he plays on both ends. A lot of it is a lack of effort. He has terrible body language. And not the usual stellar shot-making. I'm done w/ the experience. Hopefully we can still get something for him.

I get that train of thought but that's not what's happening tonight. He is out of game shape and is getting knocked around on both ends. His legs are not there because he has not been able to run while he was out.

The Bucks will win this game and he will get better as the series goes along.

Do people really think Giannis has been terrible?

He’s scored efficiently and has been an imposing force rotating at the rim defensively.

He had two really bad turnovers in quick succession. And he got caught another time in traffic but notably didn’t turn it over and got fouled.

He looked off a few shooters in the 2nd, but us shooting 17% doesn’t all have to do with that.

Idk, I’ve liked how he’s getting downhill, particularly in the 1st.

I was about say. Middleton in street clothes would be more valuable because that would mean Kuzma wouldn't be on our roster

That would require on time and accurate passing from the person being doubled

Kuzma drives like me in high school at our local church open gym against much taller people.

More like the Jrue trade


hands down the jrue trade killed us. 58-24 the year before dame arrived. #1 seed. panicked after the miami series that year but then again there was a team mutiny and giannis talked **** all offseason. i guess we had to do something

a very different looking team after that trade tho

I don't think I have ever seen an NBA team with less pride than this one and I said this long before this series.

I would be shocked if the Bucks make this a game in the 4th quarter let alone winning it.
