[QUOTE=HP7163;12965994]Lol not even close .. it's been 2 rougher games .. sheesh[/QUOTE]

What I mean is they are not taking the next step like they need to. Not winning big games, not winning close games, getting absolutely blown out, and Giannis putting up average numbers, not scoring in the 30's or 40's. They would need to put together a huge run and he would need multiple 35 point games to sustain prices right now. All the money is moving to Ben Simmons, and rightfully so.

They just beat the Spurs, Memphis and Detroit before the last 2... he's avg 28,11,4 in the last 7.. (4-3)

So no you're dead wrong his cards are trending up again and staying around the levels of a few weeks ago. The last 2 games hurt but not a lot since they had a 4 game win streak

No shame in losing to Washington... that's a darn good team.

I just can't believe we're at the point where 23, 8 and 4 with 3 blocks is a terrible game for the almost 23 year old.

It's not and nobody should be calling it that...

It's just people got a bit ahead of themselves crowning this guy MVP after the first week of the season and when you lose its time for the other side of the coin.

Fact is if MVP voting happened right now (which it doesn't), he'd probably come in about 5th with the 8-8 record and all.

Lol no way ... we're boys but that's ridiculous . He's tearing it up

Giannis probably wasn't going to sustain his fast start.

Hot Take: The next evolution of his game will not be the three point shot. It will be learning that he can get his whenever he wants and trying to get teammates in rhythm.

He is, but his team isn't even a top 8 seed right now. MVP goes to guys on playoff teams and usually with top records.

Right now it's Harden with a good case for Kyrie right behind him.

Next is Curry. It's close at 4th between Giannis and Lebron, who's stats are very similar, but has a better team record dispite a ton of injuries.

Tons of time to change this record thing, but with the seasons that these other guys are having I imagine Milwaukee with need to be a top 3 seed for him to have a good chance, not 9th.

Just tell us what you have invested in him and then we can ignore all of the pumping.

lol touché .. sold 3/4 as 3-4weeks ago. Took my profits and ran

But my whole point was they just strung 4 games together and his stuff started going back up until 2 bad losses. I just don't agree they won't see higher prices when it's clear he's not a flash in the pan. They're an inconsistent team though but we'll see

Giannis since the Bledsoe deal:

In the 4 W's
27.3 PPG 10.5 RPG 52% shooting

In the 2 (Ugly) Losses:
23.5 PPG 12.5 RPG 37% shooting

Season average through 16 games: 29.7PPG 10.3 RPG 55.2% shooting

I've been to just about every home game in person. What I've seen these last couple games is when Giannis attacks, the double comes. When it does and he makes the pass, the open guy clanks the shot.

Last two games combined shooting for other Bucks players:
Brogdon: 2-13
Bledsoe: 8-23
Maker 2-8

This is a classic recipe for L's. Its not difficult, you need to have better than 12-44 out of those 3 to win...27%.

I did not place Middleton on this list since he is the teams volume shooter. Yes, he runs hot and cold, but he's the teams lone volume shooter who this season is right around his career marks when it comes to shooting percentage. His 3 point percentage needs to increase, but he's also fantastic at the FT line at nearly 88%.

Guys a monster 27/13/5 again tonight

[QUOTE=arod305;12982964]Guys a monster 27/13/5 again tonight[/QUOTE]

Yes but let the Jazz shoot 56% from 3 point land .. 18/32

Middleton 4/15

[QUOTE=arod305;12982964]Guys a monster 27/13/5 again tonight[/QUOTE]

Does not matter if they don't get the W. They keep losing to bad teams. Not good.

[QUOTE=pejc300;12983066]Does not matter if they don't get the W. They keep losing to bad teams. Not good.[/QUOTE]

On the road in Utah .. not an easy place to play . Utah isn't bad either

God I wish Middleton was good

[QUOTE=dherm360;12983085]God I wish Middleton was good[/QUOTE]

He just dropped 40+ the other night.

Something is wrong that between him and Giannis he can't play well when they are both on the court.

Only watched the second half.

Two observations.

1) He gets so many easy points. Even if he doesn’t develop his game fully, he will accidentally score 25 a game every healthy year in the next 10. He has times where he’s like ten feet from the hole, and he takes one step and throws it down. Man his arms are freakish.

2) teams are going to live with Bronson, Bledsoe, Makur and crew beating them. Good defensive teams are just going to focus on not allowing GA to get to the hoop. They desperately need Jabari Parker to get well and be a force.

He doesn't play as hard if he's not #1 option as stated by Mr.chipz

This... Though I think they need a new coach my god Kidd is terrible all he does is trap on D.

Giannis scores 25 a game on literally doing nothing his bad shot for some reason doesnt matter he still drops 25 at 55% its really amazing if he can sustain.

I have NO idea why Brogdon isnt playing and starting I would throw middleton to the bench. He would be great in 2nd unit and when jabari comes back I would love him to start. Last year I was sold on middleton being a STAR this year he is reallly bad.

Bledsoe brogdon Snell Jabari Giannis
Thon Middleton delly and henson and just keep a 9 man rotation.

ALSO Just for fun I remember last year getting grilled for saying KD was better on D then giannis and its not close KD is way better on D then giannis. Giannis fouls too often and gets blown by too often. Giannis does make more freak plays and gets more live ball steals.

Yeah, Jazz are solid:rolleyes:

Glad I sold when I did.
