Yeah another day at the office being a career loser, we can see how 'AngeLo RusseLL is taking GSW to an amazing 5-24 record.

Bucks crowd is so embarrassingly tame besides their paid cheering section.

Team is very good though.

Do the bucks even have any weaknesses?

‪Imagine having two lottery picks in 2013, then passing up on Giannis. Twice.

Zone up Giannis and let the other guys beat you. Watch how good coaches like Brad Stevens and Carlisle did it.

you mean the guy that 15 teams passed on.

Giannis being this good is a rarity. For every Giannis there are tons of Bruno Cabocolos.

Yall really need to get off this idea that scouting is this cut and dry thing in which everyone can always get it right

The same weakness that I have been repeatedly pointing out: Their best player can't seal games because he can't score in the halfcourt. He's just LeBron all over again.

The Bucks relied on George Hill all fourth quarter long to drive them to that win. On other nights, it's Eric Bledsoe. On other nights, it's Khris Middleton. None of which are good enough to outduel an opposing star player in the playoffs (with the exception of maybe Middleton).

You can tell Giannis wants to be the best. Ben doesn't have that gene.

Another game of Dennis Shroder showing that he has surpassed Chris Paul. If Chris wasn't such a headcase, they might want to explore moving him to the bench. He'd throw a tantrum, though, since he's an awful employee and really bad teammate.

But OKC doesn't want to pay to move him. :lol:

The raptors, missing 3 of their top 6 guys including their best player just beat the dallas team we lost too

Boston, minus 2 of their top players, won in another blow out today. Milwaukee missing its starting pg, blew out indiana again today

We r no where close to these teams levels

we're 2-0 against Boston, should be 2-0 against toronto. Getting worked up with every regular season game isnt healthy.

Shai was such a missed opportunity for this franchise.

I have a feeling Sixers will win against the Bucks. Vegas is building it up

We know they can beat anyone. It’s if they show up with effort and play to their level, we haven’t seen many game like that this year.

Speak volumes of how underwhelming Conley has been so far

Utah is foolish for thinking a 32-year-old Conley would be some magical upgrade to Rubio. He's oft-injured and hasn't been played at an all-star level for 3 years now.
