Yep I a, surprised by them because isn’t Giannis really just their one star? Middleton is good but not sure a star.

Dallas is the current #2 seed in the West. Sorry to go off topic, but...whoa

Back on topic, Clippers just don't match up with Milwaukee. Very weak in the middle and...wait for it...they need Iggy more than we do. They could make a trade for him involving Shamet, or their one remaining draft pick they can trade, possibly with Harkless as ballast.

Kawhi isn't going to be a good defender going forward. PG seems to be playing limited minutes, perhaps he's not fully conditioned coming off shoulder surgery. Not sure if he was able to go full speed in off-season workouts, even though the injury wasn't in the lower body. He'd probably prefer roaming or playing on the perimeter against smaller players.

The Raps big men help Kawhi stopped Giannis (Gasol, Ibaka, Siakam). Who will stop Giannis in the paint for the Clips? lol

cant believe they added Wes Matthews, R. Lopez, Thiannis, Frank Mason, Kyle Korver, Bender and still have Illasoyva, and only lost Brogdon

plus 2nd full season with same coach, same core

Giannis put up 34, 11, 4 with 3-4 threes in 23 minutes (i get its preseason, but still)


I'd rather have Malcom than all those guys you listed

Saw couple of end of tight games, they always give Brogdon the ball... so far doing the same things couple times, drive to his right and hasn’t produce... date I say, this season he plays similar to KCP

Barring injuries, Giannis is the sure MVP.
A most complete player on both ends.
And he is only.....

He is lacking on offense, so I would not yet call him a most complete player. But the Bucks look great, watched the game vs the Clips and it was something else. Although I thought the Clips also missed a lot of open looks.

Lakers has the length to stop Giannis inside the paint, just like how the Raptors stop him in the playoffs last season.

The Raptors stop him using this defensive scheme which the Lakers can easily duplicate.

Korver helped fix Lebron's shot when he was in Cleveland and don't look now but Giannis just happens to be averaging 31.7% from three this year, his highest percentage since 2013.

I am rooting for the Bucks to stomp a mudhole in Boston's ass come playoff time.

People are definitely sleeping on Dallas. The “but they are young” criticism calls flat. 1-8, the East seems to be better this season. Denver and Utah aren’t nearly as good as advertised. Winning the East will be an accomplishment.

You mean on the pacers right?
Different dynamic on the bucks imo, where he doesn't have to be the go-to guy.

That team with no superstar won something like 17 of 21 games last season without Kawhi and are 15-6 this year. The "supporting cast" was WAY, WAY better than people give them credit for.
