AD exposed him tonight. AD cooked his ass and showed Giannis what part of his game he lacks.
Loved watching AD shake Giannis out of his panties and also posterizing him late in the 2nd half. 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤 |
Let’s put it this way, if they play a game of one on one, AD wins almost every time |
well yea cuz ad can post fade on him. it might not be automatic in game but you can trust that shot is water every time 1 on 1 empty gym _________________ Kobe Forever |

Which is why we need that 3rd scorer. I can now say that we won't get past the Clippers with our current team, as constructed. |
Please, DGreen score 21 pts. |
But then he'll disappear for the next 6 games. That is his MO, play good, then suck for awhile. |

3-2 road trip with AD missing a game.
Regroup at home and get a couple of statement wins at home against the Nuggets and Clippers before facing the Blazers and Mavs to finish off this stretch. |

Giannis is not gonna make his career for three pointers in a game most games that's for sure. The strategy of forcing him to take them was sound. |

It's only one game.
Orlando beat us twice in 09 and we all know what happened later that year. |

So he could give it back and more on defense. We never mount a comeback with Kuz out there. Giannis would have gone for 50. Kuz is a liability and his offense does not make up for his poor defense. |
Sir, what he is trying to say is the advantage would have not balloon as it did with Dudley there. Davis played 43mins and those 5 minutes we got down, what 19!!!! |

It was, just like Milwaukee gave AD the open 3 pointers. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

If AD and Giannis entered the three point contest I’d bet my left pinkie Anthony would advance further |

I am not THAT worried about this loss. The Bucks played like they had something to prove, the Lakers took LBJ's mindset and just tried to stay even keel.
I am sorry, no game in mid-December should have been touted as big as this game was and neither should the Christmas game be. It's literally to make sure people tune in, more ratings.
Just like I laugh at people who have "serious facts" to back up their hot takes this season, it's too early for hot takes when it comes down to who will produce when it matters. Bucks won 60 last year and what happened?
I hate to lose and I would have loved to have won this one but onto the next, beat up on the Western Conference some more and please show the Nuggets that their last season was just a fluke. |

Although AD and Giannis are both freaks, they play different game, especially on offense. Giannis is more like lebron where AD is more like Kobe. |

+1000
An with all that said I sorta wished Vogel Load Managed Lebron and AD tonight sitting them out the entire game to give a big middle finger to league front office for their terrible refs who are assigned these Lakers games.
Just like Madz said earlier. |

If Giannis develops a smoother mid range game I’ll be ready to crown him King.
Which fwiw I believe he has the drive and heart to develop that.
Until then, he barrels to the bucket more reckless than a 23 year old Lebron and he’s not consistent enough from the mid range and three atm.
But hey dude is like 25 he’ll get there soon enough I believe.
As for Anthony, the guy is the real deal right now! At 26 no development needed |

So I’d take a 26 year old with no development needed over a 25 year old?
People said the same thing about lebron, he never developed into that player, but he is already great |

Lebron had more of jumper than Giannis at 25 years old though. Giannis’ shot is getting much better but it just doesn’t feel natural to me quite yet.
When I watch Giannis play I see more Shaq in his game than Lebron most of the time |

Biggest flaw in the roster is lack of 3/4s on this roster. With Kuz out you quickly get really small. Doesn't help that beyond Green the guards are all tweeners very small lineup. Was even worst when AD missed the Pacers game. LBJ looks tired too.
Lakers will be fine in the playoffs if they are healthy. The pace they are on isn't realistic. I expect a trade or signing at some point. WAY too many guards on the roster. Iggy would be a nice add but may not happen. |
