    Nice that no starter had to play more than 32 minutes tonight. Giannis is a match-up nightmare for most teams and Aminu will certainly have his hands full but I think he will do as well against him as anyone else in the league.

    Yeah. I think Milwaukee is my favorite eastern conference team. I saw Greek Freak live last year. He looks ridiculous in person.

    If we play the Greek Freak tough and holding him down under 30. Then contain the rest of there team we should be 3-0 coming home. This team is not big Reb team so we should be able to control that part of the game.

    Watch the highlites of Cleveland and the Bucks. What Cleveland did on offense they attack the rim on the Bucks was very successful at it tonight.

    If Milwaukee ever builds a contender around Ante.... Ante.... the Greek Freak, look out. He's the kind of perfect player you try to create in video games on cheat levels.0

    This is our first real challenge. If we can get a win on the road here, it will be big. Our new and improved defense needs to deliver for this game, especially Aminu and Harkless. I pray we can hold Gianis under 30 10 and 10. Middleton has also always impressed me, so bring in Meyers early to take him out, bad boys style.

    :cheers:

    He has been getting better at it, I would even argue that his mid range is fine now and his three point shooting might get there. Besides, it would be unfair if he was also able to knock a shot from every position. He was already top 20 in the league for 5 categories last year: points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks per game. You know who is another player who achieved that? Nobody ever. He is an incredible talent and extremely likeable too.

    They have surrounded him with shooters too. That team has Brogdon, Middleton and Snell who are all good shooters and their young center Maker is also very good from the range. They are IMO a good point experienced guard and a good defensive center away from being a truly top team. They will probably try to move a few contracts and offer Cousins or Thomas a deal next year.

    The Bucks wouldn't be easy but their game is centered too much around the Greek Freak. They do have some good players and it won't be easy, Delly is good, Brogdon I've never seen play but people say he's good and Middleton gets good numbers. Need to be focused and bring the W
