    I have to admit I wanted Oden.

    This is what frustrates me about watching the Bucks.

    You have one of the greatest closers in the history of the game and you have Giannis forcing it 1 on 4 multiple times. It's so fucking dumb. He could have driven in, collapsed the defense, and kicked it out for a WIDE OPEN THREE from Dame but no....

    Giannis is an incredibly talented athlete who doesn’t really play basketball very well. Watching LeBron last night, he’s like the anti-Giannis. He’s still a beast of an athlete, admittedly on the downside of his career, but he just knows how to play the game. He makes everyone on his team better.

    IMO Stotts would have been a much better coach for the Bucks vs Dic Rivers.

    So frustrating to watch. I bet Dame is quietly really annoyed.

    I don't understand why Giannis can't set a freaking pick... This could be the best pick and roll combination in the history of the NBA...

    Or just drive and kick. So simple. He collapses the whole defense on him and Dame is wide open.

    No reason to feel bad. EVERY team in the league except Orlando and Houston would have taken Greg 1st…..and Seattle tried night and day to trade up.

    For sure. If he could do both they'd almost never lose. And there is absolutely no reason he can't do BOTH.

    I really hope that the Bucks somehow trade for C.J.
