If we continue to fail to get to the finals, frustration will set in and hes going to look around and realize he could be paired with better talent somewhere else.

We should have two great opportunities in a row here to do that. If Giannis improves and is the same player all the way through the playoffs i love our chances...

I dont even care about football anymore, just start Bucks season!


if we keep having one of the top records in the league but he gets stonewalled at the gate of championships its his nature to blame himself not those around him. his direct quote in the article is hes bummed kawhi went west. he wanted the challenge of a rematch. that's great and its his nature.

goal is to keep giving him that chance year after year. that's our goal. last year we did and I think this next year we will. one year at a time.

Giannis gets the crowd to chant "MVP" and the crowd chants it for a little while, then dies down as Giannis is just standing there wanting more. LMAO. Buck fans truly are dumb. Not everyone, obviously. But man, oh, man. Giannis also tells the fans he wants them to "bring it" every game next year. He knows how dead that Fiserv crowd is compared to other arenas.

I think now the debate is who taunted Giannis harder?

Drake for actually taunting Giannis in the conference finals.

Or the Milwaukee Bucks for playing 3 consecutive Drake songs at Giannis' MVP celebration.

I wasn't there and if it was any team besides the Milwaukee Bucks, I would assume you were being sarcastic and that didn't actually happen.

Was that before or after he told them to not call him MVP?

An interesting thought experiment. Giannis has improved every year he has been in the league. So, it's reasonable to think that he will take yet another leap next year. Would you rather Giannis come into next year improving his all-around game in small increments or have him focus solely on his jumpshot (assuming he at least becomes a slightly better shooter [~33 3P%])? I thought of this when I read that TJ Warren improved his 3P shooting by over 20% in one off season by obsessively shooting ~700 3s a day. I'm thinking most fans would take the jumpshot improving.

I'd take the jump shot improvement 10 out of 10 times. A lot of his skills come naturally to him and I don't think he'd get worse by not practicing it as much. The jump shot however, would take this team to the finals.

It’s not even really three point shooting. Even a reliable mid range shot he can make off the dribble would do so much for his game. Kawhi torched teams with it all of the playoffs.

Even at 33% from three, teams are going to sag off on him in big games. It isn’t just about Giannis too. The whole team needs a counter to the pack the paint style and strong on ball coverage the Raps had.

Can’t believe the Bucks didn’t pull her credentials after that hack job she pulled in the playoffs. She can take her “sources” and shove em’.

Giannis is going to go Hakeem and win it all in the next two seasons. I think the best is yet to come for you guys. Players are going to force their way to Milwaukee to play with him. He's the competitor we've all been waiting for since Lebron gave up and went to Miami.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
