Giannis worked on his shooting all off-season and this is what he comes back with? Yikes. Not even referring to his percentages, his FTs still look awful. Two air balls from the line last night. I am significantly less worried about him in the playoffs.

He had a rough World Cup. Might take him a bit to warm up. I think he will improve as the season progresses.

Beating the Celtics in game 1 is looking better and better.

No need to worry about anyone in the playoffs that can't score in the halfcourt. These great all-around players (LeBron, Giannis, Joel, Anthony Davis) are highly overrated come postseason, IMO. Especially if they're not paired with a star scorer to do all the heavy lifting for them on possessions that matter.

Giannis might leave, just not really sure where he would go. Lakers and Clippers don’t have much cap space. Nets are our. Knicks are lol.

What “legacy building” big market is out there. Toronto? But who would he play with?

If Isaac makes that Siakam jump in the next 3 years, everyone in that Top 5 played themself. Including the Celtics.

How many times have we seen it in the nba? A player like Giannis signs his second contract with a small market team, and the clock just starts ticking on him.

This is why teams need to tank while they can. The Bucks didn’t do it, and now they are stuck with one superstar, and if they can’t win with him before this contract ends they will lose him because they are capped out.

The Bucks did tank, it's just that they picked Jabari over Embiid.

Fultz is the best mid range shooter in the league, so far.

No, they were just bad. They needed to tank seriously without blowing money on free agents, and getting top 5 picks for a few years.

They aren’t a free agent destination so they needed to draft their own stars. If Parker would have hit it would be a lot better, but they needed more chances.
