    It's the system. It creates steals and blocks.

    That’s a pretty wild stat. Yeah, he needs to do that again, but he needs help. A big game from Covington would really have an impact. I’m hoping what he did at the end of the last game will carry over for him to this one. We need it.

    Milwaukee is a really, really tough match up for us.

    Given what the league lets him get away with, its hard to see any way we contest Giannis around the rim. A secondary issue they cause, Lopez is one of the very few big men with a a really good old school post game. He obliterated us opening night, and I'll be surprised if we don't see more of it. A moderately effective half court offense is one of their few vulnerabilities.

    Even if we can force Lopez off the court, they can just move Giannis to the 5.

    Harden needs to make a pass... throw the basketball at the booked MVP by the media.

    So why aren't all our starters averaging this many steals AND blocks?

    I think Russ will be more efficient tonight. No Bledsoe on Harden. Hopefully we can rebound!

    Let's get this dub! This is the most important game of the season. **** Giannis!

    Y’all see that ABC showed Giannis hitting Harden in the head with that chicken sh** pass? Just trying to stir it up.
