Giannis has covid lol
Exactly!!! Covid😂😂😂😂
What cryptic comments? He said he wants to be in Milwaukee, he feels good about where he's at in this moment and that he feels like his team is dangerous. I don't think he can show too much excitement because the media will say he wanted Dame and Brook gone. Nothing he says or does will be good enough until he is out of Milwaukee. It's this negative thing going on with Giannis, where drama is created where there is none. This is the team Giannis wanted and got but somehow he's unhappy 😂😂😂
i googled the word cryptic to make sure i understand its meaning clearly, welcome to new season everyone;)
Thanasis is on the Team….Giannis is On…but Giannis tell them…."i need more transition 3D Team to follow me and 3 D Wings"….if you have this you are ok
Another first round exit and 50-50 he's gone
I think at some point Bucks fans need to blame Giannis, if we want to be mad at the media, for putting out comments like this. He stokes the fire they're all too happy to keep burning. It's a good leverage play on his part.
It's clear that Giannis wants out . This is like the song and video by Darius Rucker , the song
" This " . The ultimate break up video. I am disappointed in his tactics. But maybe this is the only way to slowly break up with Milwaukee. Too bad he doesn't realize how tough it is to jump teams as a superstar, and win a title.
great training camp stories! 🙂
Giannis is purposely planting seeds because he understands how hard this will be with the fans . But he definitely will be leaving, at the end of this season , or by next season. And it's wrong for him to play games with the emotions of fans who are passionate about the team. And for the record , because I feel strongly about this , doesn't mean I'm not a fan of the Bucks or Giannis . In fact , I purchased the Disney plus channel just to see his movie Rise . I have Giannis book , I have Giannis shoes , my nephew gave me a Giannis jersey for Christmas. He's the main reason I left being a 40 year fan of the Chicago Bulls . But I'm not in denial , he's leaving very soon .
Does anyone seriously think he would leave with Thanasis on the team?
Τhe only one never feeding drama, is Giannis. All the others try to create it about him. He has a covid infection and he just wants to get over it and meet the team. One thing Giannis needs is to see potential. People around him fighting hard and focused in the team's success. Then he will up his ante (sic!) accordingly.
If there was actually an open competition for the last two remaining spots, than Thanasis isn’t making this team. Never in a million years. Let him coach in his jersey, let em pod from the bench. But DO NOT give him a roster spot.
So sick of this dance … it takes the fun out of watching having to hear Giannis is gone rumors constantly . He speaks out of both sides of his mouth he could shut the rumors down easily but he seems to enjoy the attention like dare I say a DIVA! Well there are other players I can root for on the Bucks . Maybe Porter will become a major star and Gianni’s can go where ever he wants ..😞😞
Glad doc an John said " we need to develop our players ourselves " vin Baker ect, we have good coaches. We have a lot of young guys and it seems they finally decided to start developing them
Keep the hope down as long as Doc is there.
Amir Coffey being interviewed, to me, is a sign that he will get a standard contract from the Bucks one way or another. I just can't see why they would invest that time if he wasn't. I also think he's a candidate to start. Yes. Start.
Can you imagine if giannis is able to win the East with this squad
Can you imagine if giannis is able to win the East with this squad
Si basically , the defense is going to what Adrian Griffin wanted to do… we just had sentimental feelings to old brook and patty c and refused to he younger and faster a couple of years ago instead of now 🤔
Giannis knows he gets to be a stat machine under quack Rivers, never win anything with crap Celtic offense and constant 5 on 4, 5 on 3 fast breaks after Bucks shots, Giannis needs to be used in low post, not playing guard
