A candid, comedic conversation with Giannis Antetokounmpo about what might happen in Milwaukee if this high-stakes season doesn’t go well. The Bucks’ plan – from Giannis to Dame, Doc on down – is to never find out.

The Bucks are built around Giannis. The 76ers are built around Embiid. The Knicks are built solely around Jalen Brunson.
Is that a recipe for June? Or are the Knicks deep enough?

Matas Buzelis on Giannis matchup: “I just think of it as another player. I know who he is of course. But when we step on the court, it’s 0-0. He’s a tough cover. He’s really strong, tall, athletic, does everything on the court. But I’m going to compete all the time.” – 10:59 PM

Matas Buzelis just dunked with an and-one after foul by GIannis.
Would like to see Buzelis matched up with Giannis at other end but EJ Liddell has that assignment for now – 8:34 PM
