    Why don’t the Bucks do the Middleton-Giannis alley-oop every possession???

    Are they stupid?

    Guys will look at this and just say: “Hell yeah.”

    Mids and Giannis share the same brain man, we need Middleton so much for that exact reason. Jrue was with us for 3 years and he still didn’t have even close to the same synergy with Giannis.

    Dame is a better playmaker and fits better thank Jrue, but even he is going to take a lonngg time to adjust to Giannis. Ironically Giannis despite his complementary tools in theory, takes a while to mesh to new teammates. Both Dame and Jrue adjusted to Brook very fast.

    Who in the game thread said Flight 34 cleared for landing… for real. Sheesh

    How many other players in the league could catch that? Wemby? Maybe Bam?

    I had to come here immediately to watch it again. God. Damn. That was a NBA Jam level alley oop.

    Middleton knows there’s so many angles Giannis can hit. Ironically the defense sags a little because the lob looks iffy and irregardless of that the dunk gets completed lol

    Who are the two guys doing the celebration dance on the bench at the end of that clip?

    That’s some top tier celebrating!

    IdK why but I thought the way the rim tilts when he slammed the ball is tripping me out, that is some monstrous power he has

    If you want a single play to encapsulate why as Knick fans we saw our teams ceiling tonight, this is the play. Our best player getting spun off of, and simply not being able to get up as high as the best players in the world, or defend against them in a meaningful way, or match their offensive intensity with our defensive intensity, just means that this is how good we will ever be with Randle as our best player. Bro couldn’t do that to Giannis or Bron and even if he’s more athletic than the Lukas and Jokics of the league, they’ll just be better than him on a mental level by a mile. Julius is a good player, nice guy, but the FO has to realize that they just saw our ceiling and if he’s the best player on your team you are just gonna be a perennial playoff dick tease until we have to face a team with a first ballot HOF wing and throw the whole season away in 5 in a flurry of Julius Randle double teams and attempted Brunson carry jobs by himself.
