If there was a player with exactly the same career of Giannis, but instead of playing in Milwaukee, he was playing in New York Knicks and his name was George Williams (completely random American name), he would be on Tom Brady and Michael Jordan stardom...

[@dimitrissalepis5254]

The Bucks are a well oiled team built around the best player in the NBA. It is as simple as that. They didnt have, Portis, Hood, DiVincenzo and Holiday played 1 quarter and they still demolished the Nets. KD got his, Harden had his moments in the first half, Mills had 7 out of 7 3s and Joe Harris kinda woke up in the third quarter. The Bucks had spacing and lots of open 3s due to Giannis s ability to create them. Every Bucks player knew his part and executed it. No more no less. Their defense was so tight the Nets couldnt breathe. And even though Holiday was out ,when KD and Harden got real hot , Giannis took them on 1 on 1 and got them off rythm. So dont give me that if Kyrie was there stuff!!! If the Bucks are healthy and complete , they are doing the back2back Chip this season trust me ! They are bigger than most teams, they rule the paint, they are more physical than most teams, they have big athletic guards that can defend and shoot the ball, and following Giannis lead they play way harder than any other team in every possesion! And also they have no stress , they have experience, Bud found the right way to rotate, they dont care as much for the regular season and Giannis is loose. No wall to build no more. If teams try to build a wall there a lot of players ready to kill them from the perimeter. KMid can kill you, Jrue Holiday can kill you, Grayson Allen can kill you, Jordan Nwora can kill you, Pat C can surely kill you as you watched last night! The wall worked only when a stressed out Kmid and a non capable Eric Bledsoe where the options. Now its very different !!! So no matter if Kyrie plays or not, no matter anybody and anything! If the Bucks are healthy and complete they are the big favourites to win it again !!!

[@rawbebaba]

Man all that talk bucks did that without 3 of their 8 best players, including the entire second half without Jrue Holiday. Jrue Holiday is a better overall player than Kyrie, because defense is a thing, and Jrue is just a better point guard. Kyrie is just a shooting guard to small to guard shooting guards. It's cool, keep ignoring the best team in the league y'all. Fully healthy vs fully healthy this bucks team would win 95/100 seven game series vs the nets. Bucks have the better offense, nets are trash on defense, can't rebound to save thier life, meanwhile Milwaukee is by far the best defense in the league, has the best defensive player in Giannis, best rim protector in Brook Lopez, best on ball defender maybe in the history of the league In Jrue. Get real y'all.

[@paulrose2741]

Too many what ifs and excuses… We have no idea if the game would have been close with Kyrie there. Mills played many of Irving’s minutes. He was 7 of 7 from 3s. That is absurd efficiency. This is who the Nets are - right now, a big disappointment. Give credit where credit is due.

[@heirrose1606]

Giannis plays harder on both sides of the ball than any player since Jordan & Hakeem. Kobe quit playing defense for at least half his career. Jay Williams the predictable Player Apologist is pointless to listen to with that patheicpuss on his face all butthurt whenever players are criticized.

[@Li-eh7cd]

Really appreciate and respect Jay for merely preserving the integrity of independent thought in the face of one Stephen A Smith. He was intelligent and thoughtful in his challenging SAS (who is so accustomed to steamrolling others with his charisma and… volume), thereby giving the audience a chance at glimpsing an alternative POV

[@xyoobyaj2583]

For all the doubters, can we say Giannis is legit now? Compare the stats btw KD and Giannis and we see that Giannis edged him in most categories in last night's game.

These last few years should be special moments for us wisconsin sport fans to some degree. We’ve had 3 superstars play here for quite some time (1 player each team) for such a small market and they’re all bringing a lot of success lately and want to be here. I’m sure a lot of out of towners couldn’t even point out Green Bay or Milwaukee on a map. Love how all our athletes are involved with the other teams as well

Jrue Holiday got hurt for us. Bobby Portis was out. I still can’t believe Divencenzo is still out with his ankle injury. Grayson Allen for us stunk up the gym. 3-10 from 3 and from Field Goal percentage. Patty Mills was a one hit wonder for Brooklyn. 7-7 from 3.

[@se7enzee444]

@@Amor1990 Yes, Harden hasn't gotten the cals but the biggest reason for his struggle is that he's lost his shooting touch. When perimeter players can't make their outside shots, they are going to struggle unless they are strong and fast like a young Lebron who can go to the basket to basket every time.

The Nets definitely need more time together. Milwaukee already knows who they are as a team, but Brooklyn is still trying to figure things out. With that being said, They still have Kevin Durant and James Harden so Kyrie not being there is no excuse. They are more than capable of beating any team in the NBA with those two players so this is a legit win for the Bucks no question.

The Bucks has improved quite a bit from last season. 1) Giannis is much more patience on offense. He allows Jrue and Middleton to run the offense. 2) With Giannis' improved shot, esp. from the FT line, he doesn't look like a lost puppy not knocking what to do with the ball when his man dares him to shoot. 3) Grayson Allen and Jordan Nwora are good young players. Allen can shoot the 3's while Nwora can score 15-20 points.
