Doc hit the Try Harder button at halftime, and it worked. Turner and Kuzma bullied KAT. Giannis, for the 1st time, was completely unaffected by OG. Rollins was the missing piece, the perfect complimentary player.

What a great win, and doing it on national TV too was a bonus.

Not a sellout. Casuals need to get back on board.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

We’re going to smoke teams when scoot gets back out there and puts everyone back in their best role. Great showing from Rollins, Cole facilitated and played well too! They’re sleeping on the Bucks, but we’re going to wake them up!

Before the season I was prepared to buy tickets whenever I was in the office downtown to see Giannis while he's still here. Tix might not be as cheap as I thought if they keep this up.

He is playing like an old school pg. This is his first time playing with so many shooters and he is using his athleticism to attack and dish. Shout out to two former starters who stepped up off the bench, Prince and Kuzma. I don't know how Prince turned into one of the best snipers in the league but he has and he is using his length to create deflection. Kuzma battle hard defensively. He needs to cut out the bad shots but he kind of earned them.

Awesome job by everyone.


Horsty locking up Rollins and Green for multiple years will get him EOTY votes when all is said and done.

Yeah, they were commenting on that in the 2nd half quoting Giannis saying there’s nothing basically that can stop him, he’s seen it all, he has the answers to the test

I still can’t believe we get to watch Giannis every night. Can’t help but be grateful for it.

It shouldn't be either or. They are both good spot up shooters and having another guy that can attack the paint would be interesting. I can't wait to see KPJ, Rollins, Cole, Giannis, and Turner lineups. 5 players that can at close outs.

KPJ for his direct contribution but it also adds another guard to the rotation in place of Coffey.

Rollins, Cole, Prince, Bobby, Kuz is a solid second unit

Love Rollins, I thought he’d be a long defender, if he can take care of the ball and finish at the rim like that consistently then he might actually be a dude.

I trust Turners shot will start falling.

Giannis is a Greek god

Zora said ευχαριστώ which is thank you, hence why he said you're welcome in Greek.

NBC broadcast is light-years ahead of everyone else. Good analysis not overdone junk. Tirico is great.

Great win over a very game NY.

There was $39 lower levels on the secondary market tonight, I almost went even though it wasn't a great day for me to get there.

Also, Giannis coming out the gates engaged defensively is scary. The past few years he has played mediocre defense with spurts of greatness. Now, he is playing good defense, followed by great, and then Elite level defense.
