Can the Bucks build on this and put together a true win streak to start climbing up the Eastern Conference standings?

Nance might be my biggest Vegas Bucks winner so far. Just a really solid offensive big who can run DHOs, hit an open three, and make solid decisions. Can only hope Tyler Smith and Bogi can figure out a similar level of…competence.

1) Rollins should be #1 priority
2) Skeptical of CP3 given history w/Giannis
3) Would roll dice on Beal but expect he’d prefer other teams
4) Trey Murphy is the one guy I’d be excited to use 2031 first/2032 swap on but I doubt Pels trade him
5) Would consider Kuminga S&T but not for much beyond Kuz

GTJ and AJ being the Bucks’ two best shooting guards yet combining for only 16 starts remains the weirdest rotation decision of the season, so it was great to see Gary light it up as a starter and AJ hit big shots and do all the little stuff on both ends.

Now 3 straight years scoring 30+ ppg for Giannis β€” and 7 straight years he’s scored over 30 pts/36 minutes. The most ever…and it’s not close.

Jordan did it 4x. No one else has done it more than 3x. Even Wilt only did it twice. Kobe once. LeBron & KD have never done it.

Another masterclass performance tonight means Giannis has likely finished off another incredible regular season:
β€’ 30.4 ppg
β€’ 11.9 rpg
β€’ 6.5 apg (career-high)
β€’ 60.1% FG
β€’ Lowest TO rate since 16/17
β€’ Lowest foul rate since 13/14

Never take this dude’s greatness for granted!

Guessing you’re not using the NBA’s stats since they have Braun 4th in total points (Giannis +49) and well behind Giannis in pts/game (Giannis 7.9 pts game and Braun 5.9).
