I'm looking forward to him representing us well on All-Star Sunday. It will have been 13 years since a Buck played in the All-Star game.

After all these years of middling-at-best talent, it kind of feels like cheating to have Giannis.

Point really driven home when you know that it was Hammond who is responsible. You fear the universe will work to correct itself at some point.

That walk up 3 he hit in the first half going in the 2 for 1 was awesome. Shot it with confidence and no hesitation. Early in the year he had that hitch all the time where he was thinking about it before he shot. When he just takes them in rhythm everything goes much better.
