The Bucks get a big challenge tonight. Lots of Giannis love and MVP talk out after game one. You can bet Lebron wants to show the youngster he’s not there yet...

Not ready for prime time - not tonight anyway
God Damn it.
Giannis 15-22, 34-8-8.
Rest of team: 23/60, and only Brogdon was in double figures with 16.
Giannis is more than ready for prime time. His teammates are another story. 11/35 from 3, and many were open looks (again). Kris Middleton another no-show: 0-5 from 3, and as many turnovers as baskets in the game (3). Monroe completely lost on D and had 3 turnovers in just 18 minutes. Delly the only other guy playing hard, but he could only manage 1-5 shooting (but did have 5 assists in just 24 minutes).
You're not going to beat a team like Cleveland 2 on 5. At some point the supporting cast needs to play ball...
They were also outrebounded by 14
I get they didn't make enough shots but if the shots aren't falling you have to get to the rim which they didn't do nearly enough
Jason Kidd is the Mike Sherman of basketball coaches
