Regardless of happened with the game ball, Giannis doesn't need to be charging an opponent's locker room. That was a poor decision and nothing good can ever come from doing that. I hate that this is going to be the story over his actual on court performance. 64 points without a made three pointer is completely insane!

Also everytime I watch Bobby do his "team enforcer tough guy" act I wish he could convert even 50% of that energy into actual in game defense and rebounding.

Giannis came back without a ball is an indication that Pacers kept the game ball ....

Pacers just poke Kratos .... I LOOOVE IT

Giannis will forever go nuclear on them, he should take it personally like MJ ... Never miss again and destroy them every time you face them.

I think the guy holding Giannis back in this video is the Bucks staffer who grabbed the ball right after the buzzer…but he no longer has the ball here. Combine that with the Pacers players clearly taunting Giannis and telling them to not give the ball to him, I’ve seen enough.

Oh my God ... Giannis is MJ like ... you should never piss him off cause he owns 3 extra unlocked fatality levels that can destroy and humiliate you. OMG they did that to the most dominant strongest dude in the league who is the nicest at the same time... Unfortunately for them, Giannis ain't from a rich family with an NBA veteran dad ... no no no ... Giannis survived hunger selling stuff on the streets of Athens ... they poked the wrong guy , they are going to regret it but it is too late for them... Giannis is on a mission now ... I am watching ALL Bucks-Pacers games for the next decade.

When was the last time a player scored 60+ and didn’t hit a jumper? Wilt?

Unreal. If Giannis played for the Knicks they would change ESPNs name to GSPN

We had to bring them back. It was a close game. Carlisle did the Jedi mind trick by taking his starters out and we let down. Our deep bench is lacking

I went from maybe believing the didn’t mean to start something to 100% knowing they wanted to start something, and their pettiness is next level. I was excited for a friendly on court rival but Pacers can get bent now. Classless.

Doesn’t take away from the performance. Giannis is next level.

Can Giannis get 70 the next game vs these guys? It’s possible. He’s playing his best basketball ever right now and no one knows it. Maybe he can crack the top 10 for MVP now

I love how Woj’s last tweet was a recap of what went down, completely absolving the Pacers and making Giannis look like a child, when there is more video out there showing the smirking pacers staffer taking the ball back with Giannis trying to get the ball from him, arguing. ESPN hates Milwaukee.

Apparently Myles Turner and Hield were mocking him and not giving the ball back. Turner should try to find his heart because I’m pretty sure Giannis ripped it out and left it underneath the hoop. It’s absolutely hilarious what he does to that guy

Several times tonight Middleton was stretching his right leg in an odd way. He would lean forward putting his weight on his bent left and extend his right leg back behind him, like a 1st baseman stretching forward to catch a ball while keeping his right leg on the base. (apologies for the bad description)

He did that before the game during warmups, during a couple of timeouts, and once waiting to rebound during a Pacer FT. It didn't look like he was sore or bothered by the leg, but he did it repeatedly. I couldn't tell which leg he was stretching.

Sounds like a typical calf stretch. Maybe it was a but tight

Thoughts other than Giannis's record:

1) I thought the defense was better, despite the Pacers late scoring. The caveat is that the defense was better until the shot was missed. Almost the entire first half was close solely due to the Pacers taking so many more shots because of offensive rebounding.

2) To the poster complaining that Bobby puts all his energy into fighting and should use it to rebound more, not sure what game you're watching. Portis hustles almost every minute he's out there. He's a great rebounder. His numbers are down this year entirely because he has to cover guys way out on the court, unlike in the past. He kept balls alive this game because he is so active and competitive.

3) AJJ will be a good player, but he let Haliburton go by him almost every time. It's not that he can't stay in front of him, but he has been so successful in college chasing down guys from behind that he just lets guys get passed him. It just won't work in the pros.

Same thing was happening during the playoffs of our Finals march.

As basketball nuts, Bucks fans, and Milwaukee residents, we owe so much to this man.
