Giannis is amazing.
his nickname is so appropriate. Every time I watch him I find myself muttering "holy cow he is a freak" to myself.

Wonder if he will be able to get 5 year max from any team?

Only the clippers can offer him 5 years
And he will definitely get that offer. There will also be plenty of teams ready to give him a 4 year max. The Celtics are probably one of them.

You know who JV reminds me of?

Ante Zizic.

Or rather, Ante Zizic reminds me of JV.

I'm really enjoying this JV - Monroe battle down low.

Monroe is balling, but looks gassed.

Monroe is so good. He's able to play in this series because they have JV on the other side, but I'm happy to see him doing well. Always believed in him when he was in Detroit.

This is why I feel confident about facing the Wizards in round 2 (should we advance). They simply can't seem to win or play consistently well away from home.

But after how round one has went with a bad matchup, I REALLY don't want to see Atlanta in round 2.

I think the same about Kelly actually, but maybe in a different sense of the word. ;D

I don't know why the Wizards plays so poorly away from their homecourt.

Yeah, honestly, the Cavaliers aren't as dominant anymore, but they should steamroll through the East still.

Celtics, Raptors, Wizards all really inconsistent and likely going 6-7 games each series First Round.

Meanwhile Cavaliers could sweep Indiana.

None of TOR, BOS, WAS look consistent or "threatening" atm, including WAS right now Game 3.

Giannis is my favorite non Celtic in the league. His play style is just so much fun to watch, and he will be a force of nature for the next 10ish years injury willing.

He reminds me of the crazy potential of a young LeBron, except I don't want to turn the tv off every time he opens his mouth. He seems to be a very humble down to earth kid who gets it.

PS- I am so irked that he isn't a Celtic. Not mad at Danny or the other 14 GMs who passed on him, but mad at the pure fact that he isn't wearing our green haha.

This Grizzlies/Spurs game has been excellent. High level basketball on both ends of the floor.
