Splash ‘Em, Big Man!
About damn time!
Justice. Also, how is Timelord 3rd? It should be Jrue, Claxton or Giannis.
Let’s hope it holds out until the end of the year. JJJ is gaining a lot of steam
YEAH THATS WHAT I FUCKIN THOUGHT
Williams over Claxton is crazy. I know they wrote up a reasoning but that doesn’t make it less crazy.
Where he belongs!
Before you read this, im you should know that I’m not hating at all, I’m a Giannis fan and a bucks fan
Giannis seems to have almost let off the gas a bit on the defensive side of the ball which I feel has paved the way for Brook to have this excellent defensive season, my thought on why this might be is that Giannis is trying to use less energy on defense than normal to save more for offence, probably due to the lack of Khris Middleton. I feel this hypothesis is supported by the fact that in the first few games Giannis’ defence stats like blocks, steals and shot contests were at the normal rate, he played hard help defence and was looking like a dpoy but, he could do it as well on offence, obviously we were winning but Giannis was playing more time than normal in order to increase his offensive out load while keeping defense at normal rates, this means him and Brook were performing which meant we were the #1 defence for the first 3 weeks or so, then Giannis started to take on less help defence and just stick to a man, focusing more on contests than blocks, still elite but not dpoy, this allowed Brook to become primary defender and leader on defence which has allowed this dpoy birth to happen, I think as KMidd rejoins the starters we will se Giannis’ normal defensive output come back and possibly a drop in brooks while Giannis’ offensive output will decrease as Khris begins to take his place in the playbook. Either that or Bud will continue with Brook as defensive leader with Giannis playing less help so he can continue his inflated offensive output.
If you read this far, give me a reply on what you think about this?
I’ve always thought they should vote for DPOY during the All Star Break. If you look at the advanced stats, it makes more sense to vote based on the peak of the season than to wait until the end of the year when everybody rests or shuts down.
