I was so confused on why I saw repeated anti-bucks and giannis comments from Raptors fans this year, normally our fanbase is mostly insufferable about Mobley and the Sixers.

Turns out like 95% of them were the same guy.

It’s Atlanta or Milwaukee. Only uniforms I’m behind Giannis playing in. Everyone else can get the fuck out.

Why you say fuck me for (ignore my non raptor flair)

And fuck her and fuck him too (Adam silver, that’s you)

Bros still salty about 2019

Yall better without Giannis on the court

MIP

He is Him

Honestly curious how we could have started the season with a healthy KPJ instead of having to play Cole. Maybe the talks of today don’t happen. Life is weird sometimes

This is the best backcout y’all had in ages. Now if Giannis was not as injury prone you may have had the best roster in years. Very balanced. Ofc if giannis misses half the season with soft tissue injuries you have problems.

No coach is scarier than Doc without expectations

When Giannis went out with an injury earlier this year in the Cavs game, Austin Rivers was making fun of his dad saying look, Docs actually calling plays every possession now & coaching.

Doc’s ceiling and Doc’s floor touch

Doc Rivers and Ty Lue legacy games tonight

Yes. Maybe best all-time too

Luka and Kyrie similarity but also plus defenders so even better

So awesome that these 2 are playing well together.

This joke went over a lot of people’s head it turns out but it gave me a chuckle

nah they lost to the Wizards with Giannis

They’re already #1 in the East, obviously if you add an MVP-level player they’re championship contenders. That’s not saying much.

You could add Markannen or Brown to the Pistons and they’d be contenders.

You tell ‘em buddy!

Cade/Duren had a rough night, and stew getting out blows. I think this is probably the worst game the pistons could have played.

Not to mention Lavert getting as much time as the starters 😪

We have a young movement shooter rotting on the bench. Probably should be playing in games Duncan misses. Unlike everybody else on this team, you at least expect his shots to go in when he’s open.

The bench was absolute doodoo.

All he does is run jump and dunk

Now that KD is gone, it is telling how many players suddenly look better. Grayson, Gillespie, and Royce are all doing more on offense than they were last season. Before, they were basically used as “spacers” to help KD and Booker get easier looks. No one drove to the rim besides the stars. 

I dont watch the Bucks enough, but if y’all are doing the same “stars and role players” style of basketball, its never going to work. Giannis is obviously a diva with an ego. He’s likable and funny, but the perpetual drama around him is undeniable at this point and it’s probably holding his teammates back

I’m not afraid to say I think our squad this year is better than last. We’ve been extremely hurt so far this year is the biggest issue

Something has to give. Either he honestly tries and stays and doesn’t have this “if we lose I leave” drama shit every time or he just finally does it and leaves and we can all go on with our lives.

That’s blowing it out of proportion lol. It’s not like he’s going out of his way to create that narrative and bringing it up on his own. That’s simply his consistent answer every time someone asks him if he’ll leave Milwaukee, which is like on a week-to-week basis at this point.

He’s simply putting pressure on the organization to keep the team competitive, and I’d much rather have him do that than just “shut up and play” as you seem to be implying.

I think you’re taking his mentality as an NBA superstar for granted. It’s really only the European guys, (him, Luka, Jokic, Wemby) who are content playing for these smaller markets and just doing their thing.

Consider how many superstars and even all-stars just ask their way out the second they feel uncomfortable.

Calling it drama is just ridiculous to me when it’s the media who creates all of the drama in the first place lol.

Couldn’t agree more! I really do think tho that the media does a massive number on bending the truth.

Giannis has talks, frustrated with how teams performing? “Oh look, he wants out now.” No player has ever had the media this hungry in a long long time, there may be shreds of truth, but we’re also being spoon fed some hefty lies I’d be willing to bet.

The late, great Giannis Antetokounmpo. May he rest with Wade Boggs now.

Your disrespect to Rollins is real

Rollins is a dog

Yeah this was tough to watch. No one really playing that well. Tossing the ball in random directions. Clutch airballs. I can’t handle these 4th quarter collapses anymore man.

Easily we had no reason to lose this

He’ll be here dude doesn’t have a life

Poison Ivey LMAO

Ivey was definitely the problem this game. NOT 1-10 Caris LeVert

If Ivey played more than 20 minutes we probably win this game

Corny. Hes barely played in any of those games.

Eh, they were always going to cool off. I’m not sure it has anything to do with Ivey.

The Pistons are very good, but they aren’t a juggernaut. I will be very curious to see if they have enough half court scoring come playoff time.

Monty knew something

We were missing Taurean Prince, so I think that cancels out…

That’s enough hot takes for today

probably but they said this last year too and it was competitive

Probably not swept but definitely beat. 

Probably the day he gets a consistent 20 ppg scorer next to him which will hopefully be very soon. Seems like the blueprint to beating the pistons is to just go to a zone. Takes away the Duren pick and roll and then everyone collapses on Cades drives. Passes back out to shooters that can’t shoot

Never

That’s a weak one for your standards
