Your reasons for optimism post All-Star break is this:
With Giannis, Dame, Khris and Brook on the floor the Bucks have a 125.7 O-RTG and 109.3 D-RTG
They’re 9-7 against teams w/ a top 10 Net RTG
Only the Thunder, Lakers, T’Wolves and Celtics have a better record in those games – 9:01 PM

Watching Damian Lillard knock down 3s last night, all Giannis Antetokounmpo could do was smile.
“Dang, that’s my teammate there. I’m happy that he’s on my side.”

T-Wolves All-Star Anthony Edwards was asked if AS Game should be USA vs World? Edwards responded that Joker, Luka, Embiid, Giannis, Towns & Shai weren’t enough to fill a Intl. team. When asked about Jamal Murray, Ant said he wasn’t an All-Star. Reporter was stumped and moved on. – 2:21 AM

First people shown on the pregame Dance Cam here at the Fieldhouse were Tyrese Maxey’s parents and grandmother 😅 Maxey is warming up right now in a trio with Giannis and Jalen Brunson. Fellow former Kentucky guard Devin Booker also just dapped Maxey up at midcourt. – 7:10 PM

Wemby appreciates all the praise he heard this weekend from so many of his basketball idols, including Giannis, but he won’t let it go to his head:
“I don’t let…these (compliments) define how I feel about my career and my progression.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo says having a fourth head coach in the past eight months is challenging. He thinks the Bucks have a lot of work to do — A LOT of work to do — to get back to a Finals.

The LeBron James Era is nearing an end. The Age of Victor Wembanyama is about to take hold. That was the message, in so many words, some of the NBA’s biggest stars delivered time and again Saturday at media day for the 2024 All-Star Game. “As long as Victor is healthy, the league is his,” the Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo said of the Spurs rookie star. “LeBron is kind of like that,” Antetokounmpo added. “He’s close to the end of his career. … But we have to deal with this problem now moving forward.” -via San Antonio Express-News / February 17, 2024
