Everything to keep Giannis

Dude looks like he'll be traded.

Deer DUB LOL

That makes more sense, but I'll refrain from saying much more sense

Will only hear it as deer dump from here on out.

Some contender is going to get Khris

Fun win overall. Great to have bucks basketball again. Giannis was Giannis. Khris was Khris. Hope KPJ can just walk it off and play the next game.

Kuz shut me up for a good minute in the second half. Props to him and his left hand.

I'm gonna lose my damn mind when they extract a protected 1st from a desperate team in a few months.

I'm not sure there was a point Giannis tried on the defensive end

My optimism remains extremely high.

Curious which teams can match the contract with guys that are not playable but also expiring.

I got real worried about KPJ for a minute there when he tried to get up and couldn't and I feared for the worst but when I saw the replay it was clearly a turned ankle and I was very relieved that the worst had clearly been averted. Hopefully this is more the couple day sprained ankle variety rather than the couple week variety

His left stroke's the death stroke.

This will be the norm going forward. He'll have to put up 35+ points every night and he can't do that if he's gassed.

There's degrees. Like he did not give a crap at all tonight and ok only played 30(?) minutes. Sure. He might not be as efficient on offense but still able to turn it up against better teams.

Bucks win and Pels about to lose. Great night outside of KPJ ankle roll.

In the 4th quarter: "Khris Middleton returns for the Bucks".

Overall good start. Built a big lead and coasted. Players still getting used to playing with each in different lineups. Get well soon KPJ

Not the worst thing to give some other guys some burn in October and November to see what we have before February comes along and things get weird at the deadline.

Wizards could take on a multi year guy. They have no impending salary crunch.

Good win I never felt we were in danger of losing but definitely was flowing better before KPJ injury on both sides of ball. Will be hard for a contender to trade for Middleton with his salary that Washington will take on but will be interesting to watch him this year.
