Reply to "Bucks at Blazers"

If you want to see what complete domination looks like, here's a highlight reel of all of Giannis' 18 field goals last night.

The last half of these or so are followed by Blazers players shaking their heads, shrugging, or just acted deflated because there is literally nothing they can do to stop him. 20 foot jump shots, fingers rolls, dunks, put-backs, spin moves, lobs for easy FGs, catching baseball passes in stride for dunks, up-and-unders, it was all on display. The only shots he missed were three 3 point attempts (one was a quick 3 he took to get a 2 for one at the end of the first half). Even those shots looked online. 11 for 13 from the line. On defense, he had three blocks. Two of those were ones where he just engulfed the shot with two hands.

Last night was the closest you'll see to what Chamberlain must have been like in his prime (except that Giannis hit his FTs). That was a very good team playing at home at full strength with a decent defender on him (Covington). When he got switched onto anyone else, they were helpless. You almost felt sorry for Nurkic and Carmelo in that situation.  Per ESPN, he tied Chamberlain's NBA record for most FG attempts inside the 3-point line without a miss.
