Giannis is big on the strip clubs or are you saying its a good place for Harden?

Both! Giannis seems a little conservative but you never know.

Giannis seems like a good guy. So I am not going to go there. He pushed the team to do something so they fired the coach and brought Batman a good Robin. The team did their part. So he rewarded the team by signing an extension. That buys the team an extra year or two. Now its up to Giannis and Lillard to get it done. They have a 2 year window at best.

Report: Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo agree to 3-year, $186 million extension
Yep I knew he wasnt seriously thinking about leaving. It would be a reversal of the image he has spent years building; that he's loyal to not only the team, but the city as well so he doesnt want to join a bunch of superfriends for a cheap ring somewhere else.

Wow, very long winded opinion piece but from what I gleaned, this piece is inferring that Griffin seems like a bad choice for head coach. I guess we'll see. It's still early and Lillard was out a few games with an injury.

I had heard the other day that their defensive rating was worst in the NBA. Not sure of that is coaching or the roster.

That's a pretty sensationalist article calling for AG to be fired after 10 games. Rcon14 is normally a doomer who writes about the Packers. That's the first article I've seen him write about the Bucks, so take that for what it's worth.

AG was hired before the Bucks had Dame. He was pursued because Giannis wanted a coach who was more approachable, & open to player input & someone who played in the NBA. Giannis spoke for about 10 min after the Bulls game, really opening up. Basically said Griffin has an open door policy so any player can walk into his office & give input, which he likes. Giannis also said it's going to take time for the team to gel with Dame, a new coach, no offensive coach (Stotts quit). Khris is still on minutes restriction but already looks better than he ever did last season. Giannis had knee surgery this off season. Dame is going through a divorce.

Griffin started out using a defense the Raptors used with quick young athletic guys. It worked terribly with the older & slower Bucks. Lopez was running around on the perimeter getting burned by the athletic Hawks & Pacers guards, lol. Players approached AG about using a drop defense, which is what Bud used, & Lopez got 8 blocks the next game & the d tightened with him staying in the paint as a rim protector.

I've seen several things about AG I like already. He makes more adjustments mid game compared to Bud. Plays the younger guys a lot more, & goes deeper into the bench. He's not afraid to put small lineups out there, which is something Bud hardly ever did.

It's still early. Good game last night without Giannis. Beasley got hot so Bucks didn't miss a beat. Dame was Dame with 37 points, 13 assists. I think all's well in Milwaukee.

They'll have to keep improving. Giannis & Dame have to figure out how to work together when both are in the game. Both have had their biggest games when the other isn't playing that night.

The offense looks the worst when both are in the game. Dame is passive, & Giannis has to figure out how to pick and roll.

Giannis had 64 points last night without shooting a 3. Amazing!
