Met him a few times in LA, he is behind the Bucks for real.

They addressed that sh-- I was talking about with their recent pod.

Giannis doesn't watch other players highlights, but he studies games. And he's literally mentioned watching film,in how many post games? Problem is Gil doesn't pay attention to those details or has no recollection. Just hypes on surface level crap.

And Gil is on some intense Giannis haterade this year.

Starting with how he only worked out with Hakeem for publicity. Right... The guy who just said social media isn't real life, is only doing things for clout. ...

Then he got Bud fired, & then Griff... And Doc is seeing that Griffin had bandaids for the lazy, incompetent Bucks that he doesn't have anymore.

Basically Joe Ingles for half the price.

Yep, and with his size, Gallo will be more playable on defense than last year's version of Joe. It's only the Hornets, but it was crazy to see the Crowder/Gallo/Bobby lineups......actually work?

A month we would have played with our food for 3.5 quarters and eeked out a frustrating 6 point win. Last night, down a bucket or two early simply because couldn't make an open shot, you could just feel it was a matter of time before boot lodged on throat. All because of our defense. Thank you for saving the season, Doc.

I'm glad we didn't make any huge deals or ship out Bobby/Pat at the deadline. Not that I think they're indispensable or that it was for a lack of trying, but I don't think anyone could be evaluated fairly under Griffin. Bev was exact type of move we needed to make. It's a shame because I actually liked Payne, he just wasn't right for this version of the Bucks.

Payne was nice... But a few days ago I was like.... Man we got Bev for nothing... Who was the guy... We gave up someone didn't we??

Honestly as a team we haven't missed him at all.

ETA: Charlotte is just remarkably irrelevant

When this happens, sometimes I think vets ask for it, looking out for the young guys.

No individual gets a turnover in this scenario, it's logged as a team turnover. The late pass is for fun.

I did not know this.

AG was fired just over a month ago and it's honestly starting to feel like that was last season...lol.

True.. it feels more systematic and structured now

Dame's second season with the Bucks is off to a great start. It really feels like a completely different team.

Thanos's near oop was about to be raw too

I missed the oop attempt because I was trying to win Gruber shirts for the kids in the row in front of me.

Let's not revise history too much. The AG Bucks beat Charlotte by 31.

Didn't catch the game but watching extended highlights it's clear that there is some structure and communication in place, especially defensively.

That baseline spin and yam on what's-his-face by Freak was the cherry on top.

This version of Gallo is the definition of the old dude in the rec league who hits shots, makes great passes and annoys people on defense despite barely being able to move.

I love it.

Wait. You just defined me 40 years ago.

I took a dope photo of that live and dude next to me was like... "how did you know?!?!"

I can sense freak mode.

The Hornets have been on a decent stretch beating some teams (Jazz, Hawks, Pacers).

At the midway point of quarter 1, the Hornets led 11-9 and it was looking like the Bucks would need to grind out a win.

Then Dame broke them. Over the next 4 minutes, Dame scored 11 points including three 3s and 2 assists. Bucks 27 Hornets 13. Game over. This is why you trade for Damian Lillard. At any time against any defense, he can simply bury a team. Now imagine Dame is crushing your soul, and you glance at the scorer's table and realize the last 4 minutes occurred with Giannis on the bench.....and now he's checking back in. Yep, the game is definitely over.

100%!!

Remember just before Grief got canned, Bobby was getting into kinda meaningless scraps every game? Clearly was lashing out about feeling powerless on how **** their coach was.

Walked in to work this morning and was passed by a truck emblazoned "Elite Pest Control."

Coincidence due to last night's contest or a vehicle summoned by the ghost of Scott Skiles?

Whose too say?
