    It's more that we played more active D and that makes a lot of the young guys on the Bucks play sloppy and rush shots. Plus, this guy Capela - he's a rim protector. We needed one of those.

    There are so many bad coaches in the Eastern conference now, at least half of the teams should have a better record with the talents they have.

    While at the West, the only 3 teams with bad coaches are probably NOP, PHX and Por (only based on this year).

    Harden and Gordon have been averaging the same number of 3 pointers all year, it feels like Gordon is making up for the games he missed.

    Great game! Giannis vs the Rockets.
    Rockets got the win and Kidd got the loss. One step closer to his firing.

    What did you think of Giannis? Top 10 player?

    James Harden is a god on the second night of back to backs, he might be the best player in the league at it

    Beasley must have taken being traded personally.

    Mike Anthony:

    We guarded harder. Better job of switching & not getting fooled by slips & that sort. At a certain point, guys locked in.

    Effort was really good. Bench came in & everyone played hard.

    Good win to get us out of our little funk. Hopefully we get Ryan back. Big test on Friday. We're ready to see how good we are.

    (Success on 2nd night of back to backs - how do you explain it) Type of people they are. How big their hearts are. Brewer, Beverley, Harrell & Sam always play hard. James & Eric are always good. Trevor was down tonight. Played him a lot of minutes. We gotta watch that. Can't wear him out. We have guys that play hard & understand what's at stake all year. They've done a great job.

    (Trap games - you don't seem to have them too often) They're all about trying to get a great seed going into the playoffs. Sometimes you lose swagger or it doesn't go your way. You gotta find an extra wheel to play as well as you can. They've done it all year. They're on a mission. James is leading them out on the floor but a lot of guys are pitching in & making it all possible.

    for sure his j is crap. If he goes to the playoffs will be interesting to see how he responds. Too bad he didn't work at all on that in the summer..
    No touch tho? He has good touch in the post.

    Not sold yet.

    Doesn't mean he can't be great, until he can get a good coach or find a good team, he will not be an impact player to help his team to be anything close to elite.

    as pringles says, we'll let him post all day while we make 3's :D

    he needs a go-to move, he needs to stop hesitating shooting, and should improve his handles off the dribble......and i think he can improve each of these. but he'll never develop that touch on J, he either has it or he doesn't. and imo in pressure playoff games against tight focused defense, he would need that touch to win games
