    No way, man. We have to call it ahead of time or it ain't no fun...lol. Future hall of famer that will lead us to multiple championships ( minimum of three ). A rich man's MWP minus the brawl but including the elbow to Harden's head.

    Okay.He's available to play.
    Thiero (knee) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports
    Are we expecting 34 wins in a row ?

    saw those clips pre-draft, and that first one where he takes contact on take-off and just dunks through it is still wild. that's serious strength/athleticism. as in, very few nba players have that, much less college guys.

    i agree we need to temper expectations in the short-term, but if he fails, it won't be due to a lack of tools, lol.

    Adou did about as good as you could do in a 4 min cameo. His first minute and a half stint to end the quarter, he didn't miss any defensive rotations or let anyone beat him, also was solid in securing a rebound. The athleticism is real and he seems to have solid defensive IQ.

    He moves his feet really well for a medium sized player.

    He's a big wing and athletic, something this team is desperate for. We're far away from meaningful minutes there but I like the glimpse we got.






    Really cool of his teammates and Giannis. Not sure why it was such a big deal to let us have the damn ball.

    Protocol. Totally understood. Those are Bucks balls. Giannis is cool though.

    Protocols are ridiculous though when the players are asking for the ball for their rookie. Thankfully Giannis’ common sense prevailed.

    So great to see the team fighting for the ball

    Shows the character and the chemistry this team has

    I'm trying to temper my expectations, but they could go far this year and even win it all

    Adou looked good out there. Can't wait to see him going full throttle for a long stretch.
