Helluva record

Just gotta contest without fouling. It’s just that easy.

They better rename the award after him

Well now I don’t feel so bad getting our ass kicked.

Doc finally started staggering them. So he got more shots up this game

Gianni is like an engine man.

I don’t undervalue what Jokic gives his team (he helps his team in many ways) but one Giannis gives his team is a massive amount of raw fucking energy and fight.

He is ferocious and it rubs off on the team. He plays like he is leading that team to war.

bro none of it matters in the grand scheme of things

And when Bobby and Kuz *did* play together, on defense they were playing Kuz at the 5 on Vuc. Doc did say in his pressers this week that they like Bobby at the 4 more.

I also like that when they do play together, they have been able to swap the rim protector role pretty well.

his game is fine, it’s the ref absolute love in of him which makes him unbearable to watch at times

Kuzma has legit been great so far this season. He’s playing within his role (mostly) and doing so very well. Finishing at the rim, putting in a ton of work on defense, hitting some tricky floaters, and limiting himself to only taking jumpers when there isn’t much else to be had in the possession. 

100% Kuzma did really well. I think until GTJ rounds into form, Kuzma can close.

Yeah. He’s my favorite player 🙂

He is a turnstile no matter what defensive coverage we use. He can’t jump or move laterally and has no defensive IQ

He’s gonna be good. Just an adjustment period cause teams actually have him on the scouting report now.

“Giannis is determined to show other teams he’s worth trading for.” - Shams, probably

Yeah we definitely got the whistle this game, ngl. Still was a fun game to watch, gg bulls

I agree on the refs being terrible lately. It has been really bad in last few Bucks games. Not playing sides, just agreeing the effing reffing is pure shit

NBA was worried that fans were catching onto them rigging no calls on Giannis so they had to balance things out

Hmm I disagree but I’m biased.

there was 4 soft fouls given to the Bucks when the game was tight in the 4th to give them momentum, one was a steal and fast break to the bulls when portis threw a shit pass

You rarely see Giddey get upset but he was getting hacked on his drives so much he stopped even attempting to attack the basket

Refs absolutely deflated the Bulls in that qtr to give Bucks the game

Bucks, absolutely bailed out again, like the refs do at all Bucks home games, they are consistently the worst reffed games of the season

Real obvious targetting of Okoro by the refs all game too, like they had a fucking strategy planned out beforehand so the Bulls best Giannis defender was out so they could all have their Giannis suck off entertaining the crowd game. Refs should not be playing to the crowd as much as they are at the Bucks, they’re fking terrible every Bucks home game like this trying to get Giannis going unfairly.

foul variance is whatever, just make the man take his damn free throws in 10 seconds.

What are you talking about? This is maybe the only game this year where the refs have been in our favor. I agree that the refs were not good today, but seriously. Raptors, Pacers, Kings were all absolutely terrible. The Kings game was the only one we played at home, and we solely lost that due to the fact that the refs weren’t calling any fouls on us. The refs even said that “Giannis shouldn’t be fouled because he plays through contact,” which is absolute BS, because every other star in the league does that and gets FTs. So, yeah. Not really sure if this is your first time watching the Bucks this year, but you’re very much incorrect.

Giannis took 11 FTs and the Bucks shot 18 as a team. 4 of which occurred after the 1:30 minute mark when the game was over on intentional take fouls.

If you think Giannis got a soft whistle you are absolutely crazy lmao.

Why so snarky? Seems unnecessary.

imagine being insecure about a 6-2 start from a perennial mediocre team lmaoo

Based on what? Losing to a top team in the East where the MVP plays like an MVP and some of the role players stepped up big? The game was close for 80% of the playing time.

That game was within single digits pretty much the whole time until Giannis remembered he’s Giannis. I don’t think 6-2 is necessarily fallen to earth. Especially when the bucks will always be a bad matchup for them. Interior D is their biggest weakness and the only somewhat capable rim protector is an injured Zach Collins.

They have no interior defenders, and Giannis did what he always does against them. They’re still dog walking the rest of the league.
