Bucks had a 9 pt lead and were cruising; that lead’s gone because the bench was left in too long. Shooting awful from downtown. 3 for 15 from three, yet they keep tossing them up instead of taking it to the hole against a vastly inferior team.

 

Let’s go, D! Cleveland shooting 42% from downtown. 39-39 with 6:59 left. Shouldn’t even be a game.

Love him or hate him, I wish we were gonna have Bledsoe next week, but he'll miss 2 weeks with a rib injury.  They played well without him tonite, but the competition steps up a bit starting on Monday.

Obviously you can't play Cleveland every night. Dallas & LA will be gigantic tests.

Will be interesting to see who plays? Sucks that The Bledshow is out.

18 in a row baby! This is fun!!

George Hill is more than capable of starting at PG and no player on the roster has made a bigger improvement from last year than DD.  The good news is it’s just 2 weeks but they play some very good teams in that span. 

I heard something last night on the broadcast that Giannis is shooting like 45% from 3 in December?   

 

He's fast becoming the new Kevin Durant with a stronger inside game. 

Lotta basketball to play boys....take care of yourselves & stay healthy. Coach Budd will keep the minutes down.

Fast becoming the new Kevin Durant?  Ahhh, no.  Hardly.

I’ll tell you what if Giannis is able to continue his hot outside shooting he’ll be better than Durant. 

Agreed, but for players in the ~6'9" to 7' range, I'd say Durant is #1 all time for outside shooting with Nowitsky next.  Nowitsky better spot up shooter, but Durant is better improvising, creating his own shot.

Giannis ranks near dead last for outside shooting for really good players at that height range.  Yes, he seems to be getting an outside game, but that is a far cry from saying that as far as an outside game is concerned, Giannis is fast becoming Durant.

Complete nonsense.

But, were Giannis to consistently have an outside game?  I think he'd be in consideration for best player all time.  Better than Jordan.
