Bucks with Jrue and a younger Khris were a different team. They also had those extra guys who could play D and stick a shot now and then like Ted Cruz, the kind that Miami always seems to find

Khris Middleton today is what terrifies me about giving Randle a huge contract tomorrow.


It's a legit fear, especially since Randle decided he didn't like playing defense after he got paid last time. A scorer like him that goes into decline becomes an expensive Burks

you have to resign him, because we're not gonna trade him.


but there has to be a pact. no matter how he looks that last year of his next deal, he cannot be given another max like what PG, Kawhi, and others are about to get.

Randle, Mitch, and four or so picks might be enough for Giannis.

IHart came through big in the midrange -- Mitch as well off the bench. Love these guys at center.

OG doing his job on Giannis. 4 steals, 2 blocks, +7, even without the best offense.

Boggy giving us good minutes...feels like his best game here!

DDV coming through with 8 threes.

Missed the game. Watched a 10 minute highlight recap which showed Giannis make a few power moves over OG. Of course they don't show all the stops in a highlight package. So I'm glad to read OG had a great defensive game despite only 4 points. He'll shoot better. Sounds like a great win. Helps when Divo shoots well, and Bogey too.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Any word on OG after that last play? Hopefully no news is good news...

you have no idea what the FO is going to do. They most definitely can trade him for the right player. They probably won't, but Randle is not an untouchable

Giannis caused this. Don't let players make front office decisions.

I do have an idea.


its called using logic and rationale.


1/ we're not gonna trade randle for picks. thats a 1000% lock. because those picks take years to evaluate and by then brunson will be out of his prime


thats a lock. so I guess I DO HAVE an idea about what the FO will do.

then we can keep going:

2/ rarely do teams trade top50 players for other top 50 players in a sideways move even with picks included

That Mitch, Bogs, OG, Div, McBride lineup to open the 4th was beautiful. I hope we see this more. Two lethal shooters surrounded by elite defense. Love it.

Even though Donte has been up and down, he is still a lethal weapon waiting to go off

Those back to back threes that buried the Bucks at the end were almost as good as getting fcked by a Junior's Cheesecake

I know you've followed this team closely and I just started watching Knick games again (30 games ago)...
With that said...Donte will be the knicks Ray Allen for lack of a better comparision and the icing
on the cake is -that Nova bond CS :nod:

AND

I will not be surprised if they are bounced in the first round

THEREFORE

I think Giannis will be in play this off-season

Dame is not even a good basketball player any longer

He has an knee issue.
