    I am a cheap MF but I gotta admit The Freak is one of the few guys I'd pay money to see. Like Mike Trout. I hate that smiley faced jock but he does one thing every night that is just amazing.

    Well, that's why they fired their GM.

    Thon Maker is having a massive 3rd quarter. He's had at least 3 blocks, and 2 steals, all leading to Antetokounmpo fast breaks.

    This has been good since the third quarter starter. I don't care if Maker is 44, he is a good talent. I like Giannis energy.

    Bucks are so good, imagine them with Jabari right now...

    rofl I love Doris.
    Monroe gets a steal and she says.
    "I mean is this a career high in defensive plays? Come on now Monroe with the steal".
    fucking rofl.

    For those watching the Bucks feed, is Gus Johnson their play by play man?

    They might be proper contenders in the future. If Maker develops as he looks to be capable of, Giannis and Jabari get a few more years under their belt (although Giannis already IS there and Jabari was getting there before injury too) and they keep Middleton, they are going to be amazing. Brogdon looks great too, if/when they get a starter quality PG in Brogdon will be 6th man of the year contender year in year out. Definitely my second team right now.

    If CP3 was to look at a new team, the Bucks would be like the perfect fit.

    Maybe. I feel they need a pure shooter more than a ball handler, that job seems to be Giannis'. He cannot do it all the time though. It's his team so Paul would also have to accept that.

    Most definitely, but I think Paul is at the point in his career where winning is all that matters and he probably would be willing to be the Robin, if the player he is joining is in fact better.

    I hope Harkless becomes PJ Tucker defensively, he has the tools to do so.
