Turner is a big upgrade over Lopez...Don't know if he was worth stretching Lillard and screwing this cap, but he's better.

Looked like a groin when he almost did the splits then later he grabbed his hammy when his legs go tangled while Giannis was on him and he fell down.

Another nice game for Ajay Mitchell. OKC would probably be 3-2 or even 2-3 maybe without him supplementing what Jalen Williams normally brings. Shai, Dub and now Mitchell are the only OKC players who can reliably create offense off the dribble. Last year, without Dub, teams would just trap Shai and everyone else is more a 3pt/lob guy than an off-the-dribble guy.

Mitchell avering 18ppg in 26 minutes per game on a 5-0 team. Impressive! #ImAHomerThough

The Knicks had 45 points in the 2nd quarter and 34 points in the first 22 minutes of the 2nd half.

Giannis and bucks playing a great half after a slow start after Rollins got hit in face. Rollins is going to be good my vote for MIP this year. KPJ I hope comes back soon

The Bucks defense looks good at the moment.
Great toughness.
Ryan Rollins is a keeper too.

Nah. Thunder are actually bottom 5 in free throw attempts per game. Shows you the power of propaganda. Kings shot twice as many free throws as OKC tonight for example.

Great half for the Bucks. Rollins was incredible. My favorite was when he had a steal, a turnover and another steal within 6 seconds.

Thunder outshot 22-13 in FTs last night against the Mavs, 21-10 tonight against the Kings.

The last stretch that Giannis sat, KAT couldn't do **** against either Portis or Kuz inside. Just an all around poor performance by him tonight.

I mean this Ryan Rollins line is ridiculous tonight:

25 pts, 8-11 from the field, 4-4 from 3, 5-5 from FT, 2 rebs, 4 asts, 4 stls, only two turnovers.

Rollins/KPJ is going to be a fun backcourt. Dame is a great player but he slowed down the Bucks offense too much.

Outside of that 2nd quarter, the Bucks won every quarter, scoring wise.

People unironically said a Giannis trade centered around KAT should be seriously entertained.
