The Year of Damian Lillard.
To summarize my thoughts on Khris
- I still believe in him (he has had more good games than people think)
- He's not untouchable, having him in trade talks is fine
- There are VERY few Khris trades that are both realistic & make Bucks better
- LaVine trade I would do
Hilarious how everyone complains about the NBA just being 3-point shooting and yet the one superstar who doesn't shoot threes and attacks the rim gets made fun of for having "no skill" and being "run and dunk man."
The Year of Damian Lillard.
7 of Khris Middleton's 8 assists last night were to Giannis.
13 of his 19 assists since returning are to Giannis.
Their chemistry is still as good as anyone's in the league.
Through 20 games with the Bucks, Taurean Prince is shooting 56.6% from three.
That is the highest 3P% in a 20-game stretch by any player in Bucks history (minimum 3 attempts per game).
Bucks have been unconscious from three for the past 2 weeks. This is insane

Things not to talk about at thanksgiving:
- Politics
- Relationships
- Work
Things to talk about at thanksgiving:
- Giannis midrange
It's been over a year and it has been a bumpy road, but I still cannot believe Damian Lillard is a Buck.
The Year of Damian Lillard
DAMIAN.
FUCKING.
LILLARD.
Players with 25 points and 7 assists in a half in Bucks history:
• Damian Lillard (tonight)
• Giannis Antetokounmpo (11/6/19)
• Ramon Sessions (2/7/09)
Damian Lillard this season is averaging 25 points, 7 assists, and fewer than 3 turnovers.
The only other time a player has done that since the league started tracking turnovers in 1977 was Damian Lillard in 2019-20.
"Checking in for the Bucks, Bobby Portis"
Giannis and Dame when on the court with Brook compared to Bobby
After having 0 assists to each other in the last game, Giannis and Dame had 7 assists to each other last night (5 from Dame to Giannis, 2 from Giannis to Dame).
Love to see them using each other and looking for each other.
This sequence by AJ Green was so good.
Great steal on fast break.
Hits Giannis in PnR for a bucket.
(Ignore Bobby defense)
Hits corner three.
Turns around & locks up LaVine.
Giannis bucket.
Was about to be tied, now back to a 7-point lead just like that.
Dame and AJ Green are +45 in 116 minutes on the court together this season.
121.6 offensive rating and 100.9 defensive rating.
This should be the starting backcourt.
Truly remarkable how we get so much more talk about Giannis trade rumors than Embiid.
Giannis has a title in Milwaukee and is constantly talking about or showing his commitment to the team.
Embiid has never won anything in Philly and shows no commitment to the team.
AJ Green.
After running several thousand simulations of tonight's game using an advanced algorithm, I have determined that the Bucks will win 116-109
Most midrange shots made this season:
1) DeMar DeRozan - 51
2) Brandon Ingram - 36
3) Giannis Antetokounmpo - 22
"Run and dunk man"
Giannis shot chart for his 59 points.
"Run and dunk" man was 7/11 from midrange and made 11 total shots outside of the restricted area.
His city.
Giannis emotional during the postgame as MVP chants rain down from Fiserv.
59 points.
Lmao
Ryan Rollins for Most Improved Player
