I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but most Milwaukee fans are pretty on board with trading for CP3. Hope the FO feels the same way.

I have a feeling that Gallo and Bazley might have issues defending Giannis.

I mean, if this wasn't the reason you fly to Minnsota during free agency, then I'm not sure what the point was.

It’s a shame Diallo’s hands aren’t as good on the offensive end as the defensive end. That being said, he’s definitely improved.

Big swing with Giannis missing the free throws them muscala hitting the three. This has all the makings of a run out of gas down the stretch game.

We've done a surprisingly good job defensively on giannis. Surprisingly noel had been the worst defender on him.

I think at halftime billy just turns off the lights and plays soothing nature sounds.

Not even being snarky, but half time is ten minutes long, with the way Billy rambles nonsensically that's enough time for like one adjustment.

When I see shai force some of these drives, I don’t think he realizes that he has a wide open floater in front of him. It will come in time.

Third quarters are apparently going to be our Achilles Heel this year.

Wasn't that the case last year, too? Or am I remembering it wrong?

Trick question! The answer is Dennis schroder.

Schroder is almost everything bad about the Russell Westbrook experience with none of the good.

My emotions are impacted more by if shai’s shot goes in than winning or losing. I’m going to will him to be a freaking all star.

That was a fast 5 second count.

He's so young still, but he's just good enough already for it to be frustrating when he gets caught obviously having already made up his mind how he's going to finish a play and fails to adjust to what the defense is giving him.

I’m glad billy had Gallo take that shot and not shai.

I'm starting to worry that his lack of burst is going to limit his ceiling. Watch the guy, he can get into the lane at will (good) but he can't elevate to finish (I believe he's presently stuck on just 1 dunk for the entire year despite getting to the lane with virtual impunity). No wonder he's always going to these awkward scoop shots.

At some point while watching Giannis it dawns on you that the NBA is made up of some of the best, most gifted athletes in the world, and the Greek Freek does things to the rest of them that often make them look helpless. He's just an absolute freight train.

I'm actually pretty pleased with that. Set these precedent that your best shooter is set up for a look. Don't give him free rein just because he's your franchise player. We can't want a guy to play differently than russ then raise him the same.

It could limit him but I think he’ll be fine. Kyrie Irving is an example of a skilled player that doesn’t need elevate to finish. I think shai has all the tools, he just isn’t completely sure how and when to use them yet. At UK and LAC he wasn’t ever the main offensive guy. He’s kind of learning that as he goes along. If he hadn’t already shown some ability to hit a step back three or mid-range shot, I would be a lot more worried.
