Wtf did Monroe and Giannis do? Laugh and smile like everyone else. I am confused. Jabari went back to the locker room too but he got away with that apparently.

Yeah, that was weird.

Vasquez I can understand, for his outfit alone. And the fact he's been stealing money from the Bucks all season, maybe the NBA thought they'd have a cut too.

Can they be fined for things that happen in the locker room after the game?

Good article and video by bballbreakdown on Giannis at PG, in it coach Nick talks about Giannis's shooting form and says he likes how it looks and is confident he'll be able to get a consistent jumper.

The way he describes some of these Giannis plays really highlights how insane a talent he is. When you watch him do this stuff on a nightly basis you get used to it, otherwise amazing highlights are pedestrian for him now. Always interesting hearing outside descriptions of Giannis, their amazement really puts into perspective how far he's come, where him grabbing a tough rebound, pushing it in transition for an assist is just a normal play of his for us.

I actually got goosebumps watching that. Unreal.

I think we need to settle down on Giannis being fined. We don't have a clue what he was saying or what happened. It was an all sound weird situation and I'm ok with the NBA being excessive

Year 4 Giannis + Year 3 Jabari + Year 5 Middleton is going to be such a treat next year.

Just below the level of Durant and Curry and better than Kawai and Lebron in efficiency.
All that without a jumpshot and in bad fit of a team full of injuries.
As a point forward!

Just amazing.

In terms of efficiency he is the 9th best player of the league in post-asb (15 games).
If you count him as a PG he is the 4th best under Curry, CP3 and Westbrook.
If you count him as a SF he is second under Durant.
If you count him as a PF he is second under AD.

If I'm reading these Eff Rat % Giannis as point guard he's already the most efficient and best starting point guard in the Eastern Conference, best Small Forward in the East. But as positionless he's the youngest player on the list of top ten players. That he is this young and this close to the best players in the game is insane.

But also impressed that Khris Middleton is a top 4 SG behind Harden, Oladipo, and DeRozan.

lol oladipo is ass

greekbuck34 · Post #653 » by **greekbuck34** » Sun Mar 20, 2016 5:43 pm

Middleton was second under Harden for quite a while(in post-asb stats always) but the latest couple of games dropped him in the 4th position.
The same happened with Jabari too who was 4th or 5th 3-4 games ago.

Only Giannis continued to play in superstar level though and that's why he is in the top 10 best nba players list post asb.

I think I'm gay now.

greekbuck34 · Post #655 » by **greekbuck34** » Sun Mar 20, 2016 5:57 pm

BTW Giannis beats CJ Mccollum in efficiency even in pre asb stats by quite the gap.

CJ Mccollum (pre ASB) = 16.9
CJ Mccollum (post ASB) = 17.1

Giannis (pre ASB) = 18.5
Magic Giannison (post ASB) = 28.4

I think with all the hype he is getting now as the 7ft Pointguard he became the favorite for the MIP atm.

He's **** ripped. Yanni has come a long way from the skinny kid with nappy hair we drafted less than 3 years ago.

Magic Giannison · Post #657 » by **Magic Giannison** » Sun Mar 20, 2016 5:59 pm

Magic Giannison is unstoppable, he can literally do anything he likes on the court.
Just hope we got a better fit next year.

This isn't nappy.

Maybe you're thinking of this guy.

Max, it always amazes me how much Giannis grown in 3 years, holy ****.
