Meanwhile Giannis with 41/20/6, Bucks win yet again.

[Marchesk]

52-8, 2nd MVP incoming, on pace to join Bulls and Warriors in the 70 win club.

I hear Lebron and Zion did good also. That's nice.

[3ball]

b-b-but lebron scored 34 points

didn't have enough playmakers on his team to get 41 lol

only lebron needs extra playmakers... giannis and curry don't.. only lebron-ball does

[Ainosterhaspie]

In a low scoring game too. Zion wasn't far from scoring half his team's points.

[Axe]

Even if the bucks don't win 70 games this season, it'd be fine for me. At least 67-15 is good.

[scuzzy]

15 games in, Zion critics already having a hard time coping

[Ainosterhaspie]

Don't see how they lose 15 unless they start resting for the playoffs.

[ImKobe]

In 35 minutes no less, scoring close to half of his team's points in the process with Middleton out and taking over in crunch time with fadeaways and elite defensive play.

The win total is one thing, but the net rating of this team is otherwordly, all the stats compare to 96 Bulls & '16 Warriors, except Giannis doesn't have multiple All-Star teammates or a 2nd guy who's as good as Klay or Pippen, though Middleton is as good, if not better than '16 Klay Thompson offensively right now. Bucks are 9 - 0 without Khris, they beat Utah, OKC & Indy without him, biggest win of the season against the Thunder with him out as well.

This isn't your kindergarten teachers East anymore with Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver winning 60 games.

Also, when is the last time LeBron won 70 games even in that historically weak conference?

Giannis doing things LeBron could never do.

I mean...Lebron won 66 in 2009 with a worse team than what Giannis has now...

Giannis hasn't gotten to 70 yet anyways.

You're right, now it's only 3 relevant teams with only 1 all-star en route to 60 wins :oldlol:


Getting spoonfed wins off 10 bottom feeders tanking with 0 all-stars


Significantly worse dipshit :oldlol:

Compared to one in 2015, dipshit :lol. The Cavs. Nobody else in the east that year had a snowballs chance in hell of winning a championship. And Jeff Teague, Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver and Al Horford winning 60 games and forming 1/4 of the all-star team speaks volumes about the strength of the conference at that point. That team isn't winning close to 60 games in the current East.

The Hawks would have gotten nuked by the Warriors. They were no threat to win the championship.

Looks like LeBron will beat YET ANOTHER unanimous MVP in the Finals.

Only the GOAT could beat the only, at the time, UMVP in the Finals and now he will do it twice? No one else in league history comes close to LeThanos.

Imagine saying these teams haven't improved since 2018 with a straight face, or acting like Tatum is the same player as he was in 2018 ( and as a rookie he was one of the best players in the east playoffs that year).

Game highlights

Man he was doing everything in this game. His midrange game is getting so refined. He's even adding the dirk one legged fadeaway(2:50 mark). He's not even reached his peak yet. He's so scary.

[Pointguard]

Even if the bucks don't win 70 games this season, it'd be fine for me. At least 67-15 is good.

Because of the "Rest Culture" if they clinch best record at 65 games they won't make it to 70 wins. But that bench is capable of winning some games.

[Rudeboy3]

East today is worse than ever before

the east has 6 teams that are on pace for at least 5o wins, not once did lebron play in a east with that many teams to win 50 games

[Rudeboy3]

no the **** is not

Doesn't matter. I didn't even expect that they may do that exceptional this season so i just believed at least 67 wins is good.

lol Middleton is easily as good as any version of Klay. Per 36 he averages 25/8/5 on 63%ts.

Given this, can it be said that khris is somewhat on his prime already?

[tontoz]

Giannis needs a Kawhil like playoff run for people to give him full credit for his greatness. Not saying that is fair but playoff success is a big issue for all time greats.

Last year was the first time he really had the chance to get to the finals. Coming up short has obviously fueled him to get better, something i have seen time and again from great players over the years. I expect him to be a beast in the playoffs this year.

[SouBeachTalents]

He's 28 :oldlol: Roughly the age the vast majority of players are in their prime

[Axe]

Aside from george hill, last season i think not all of the bucks' roster during that time had any experience playing in the nba finals while the raptors had kawhi back then who played twice there with the spurs in 2013 and 2014. I think this also helped propel the raptors past them en route to the finals which also resulted in their first championship since the team's inception in 1995.
