Best part of the entire situation last night, Woj is reporting that a Bucks employee had the final whistle game ball the entire time.

Im betting my house next time Giannis plays the Pacers.



He scored 64 last night.
37 a week ago against them.
54 on 11/9 this year against them.

so yea, i'd say he's likely to hit the over on points, and he will grab at least 10 rebounds.

And Giannis was in his PC saying he doesn’t think he has the game ball because it doesn’t feel the same.

The Pacers willingly do not play defense. It’s kind of sad to watch, the Pacers/Bucks O/U was 259 and they managed to go over with room. But that was also a weak arse 64 if I’m being honest. Dude went to the line like 32 times and was scoring wide open dunks by cherry picking when the game was already out of hand

Interesting that they traded for him probably to rehab his value to trade him but it ended up backfiring so badly that they're willing to tank his value even more by trying to get rid of him 2 months into the season.

We dodged a major bullet not trading for that dude. Rumors were Griff liked him.

I mean he’s rebounding well and is shooting almost 39% from 3, so have to think it’s because of his defense.

If he wasn’t paid so much he would be a good addition to our team though, even as loaded as we are depth wise.

In the Zion draft year, I remember wanting Coby White so bad but the Bulls nabbed him at 1.07 and we took Hayes 1.08. This dude White is a bonafide star he’s finally breaking out. Lavine went out and they got better because of how well White is playing

Yeah, but the other side of the coin is that it's year five. We certainly weren't going to wait that long on Jaxson, although Coby certainly showed more last season than Jaxson did.

I’ll concede it did take a while but damn he’s on fire the last month. 6’5 PG who can shoot like that is going to get a hefty contract

I assume the Bulls are about to blow things up...& start over. Funny thing is...I think there is more interest, by contending teams...to go after Caruso...instead of LaVine or DeRozan.

If they are smart they jump ship from Demar and Lavine and build around Coby White. Since he desecrated our Pels a week ago I’ve been keeping tabs and he’s easily one of the hottest players in the league the last month. 26 pt/ 11 assist/ 7 reb game tonight and +20 on the court to upset the Heat in Miami. He’s a winning player I would love to see him in NOLA but it’s probably too late now

Both Evan Mobley and Garland are expected to be out for an extended period of time. You have to think Cleveland may look to move Mitchell at the deadline.

We play at cleveland next week. This should make that game a lot easier.

CHA, SA, MEM, and CLE are our next 4 games.

No reason we shouldnt win all 4

I love that the Lakers lost to San Antonio tonight, but I also don't like the Spurs finding some confidence right before we play them.

In the month of December - 6 games
White is shooting 52/53/78; putting up 26.7/6.5/6.7 w/ 1.7 TOV in 39.3 MPG

Hell, even November - 16 games
43.6/40.5/80; putting up 15.3/2.7/4.2 w/ 2.0 TOV in 33.3 MPG

he's breaking out.

Coby White has been making me money. The books haven’t adjusted to him just yet.


And we are still in 9th place after the win tonight, yet we are 2 games out of the 2 seed.
The west from 1-10 is pretty much up in the air, although I think Houston will come back down to reality.
Injuries are going to play a huge factor in the final standings.

I think the Warriors are done. Steph isnt done but Klay isn’t good anymore. They have no clear #2 anymore. It’s just Steph, a good role player in Wiggins and trash.

A total win for our franchise that we successfully avoided ending the Wiz and Spurs long losing streaks.
