Kuzma playing great with
Refs helped Bucked immensely.
Healthy bucks team against a Lakers team missing 2 starters…. Not good that it came so close.
lopez and giannis missing half or more games has been hard on defensive rebounding
That call on Luka, lol, I know it was a flop, but satisfying to see Luka crying afterwards.
I love A. J. Green / Harris but why dont give another change to Cole Anthony! Its a great player
Id realy like one of Joker's bootlickers to show me a video where Jokic makes back-2-back amazing defensive plays on a top-5 all time player (argueably even top-1) to win a close game. I get that he might be the most complete offensive player ever. But saying he is a better overall player than Giannis blows my mind every time i see someone saying this.
Clutch Player of the Year?
Something to keep your eye on for Giannis…
The quick fix find new coach giannis team championship run and good season we bucks had you have def minded coach. Kuzma kpj can good to decent def
Possible get
Mike Malone championship caliber
I said before the buck's went on the road trip.I don't care about them beating mediocre competition they're supposed to beat the likes of the wizards and the hornets at least in my mind, that's the way I see it. So I wanted to see what they were gonna do on this road trip. So far so good. I think Denver's next without their big guy. Can we do something we've rarely done the last thirty years?And that's win in denver ?
Quacks stupidly playing Green so many minutes almost cost the game. Giannis finally played some defense and KPJ was wild and successful.
That's my Greek freak. 😍❤️
Regarding rebounding. Giannis is asked to guerd too much in the perimeter that is why defencive rebounding deteriorated
another game where Doc almost lose after being up by more than 10 points for not making adjustments..again Giannis saved the day..i have seen this too many times this season..
Big win. Can D sustain solid performance? KPJ and Giannis 💪🏽💪🏽. Very cautious optimism. Can Giannis will this team back to .500?
Bucks did what the Packers couldn't. Won a clutch game against a team that has performed far better than them in clutch time this season
🐻⬇️packers suck😂we own the NORTH
Bucks need to sign demar derozen
