They don't seem to play any defense which is alarming.

That is a pretty amazing pass. 

However, this writer must not have seen MU vs Grambling on November 12, 2013, otherwise known as the birthdate of Magic Dawson.

Magic Dawson became a thing when I christened him as such during a back and forth with Ners.

I know it's only game four but this seems concerning.
are we really going to do this for another whole season?

As a Bulls fan, I say to Bucks fans   R-E-L-A-X.

Yes, it's early. But they look awful.

I know Bud was a head coach before, but look at how they started when he took over. It was night and day from Kidd. Nothing revolutionary in terms of tactics, but he was able to communicate what he wanted, had a veteran team, and they executed.

This is the risk of hiring a guy who has never been in the big chair. Doing it with a championship level roster was a massive gamble. I'll give it some time, but this has not been a good start for Griffin.

Probably if they lose to the Heat.

What would you do if you were the HC?  It seems to me their defense is a disaster.

Wemby dropped 38 on 15-26, 3-6 fom distance.  Uh....the thought of this kid in a year or so has to be very unsettling for the rest of the NBA.  Look the F out when he gets stronger and more comfortable. Durant looks small next to him.

He's going to be the best player in the world sooner than later.  Smooth, skilled, savvy. 

Also, the global game is in an incredible spot right now.  Best players in the world are from France, Serbia and Greece.  Throw in Doncic from Slovenia and it's clear the NBA's global outreach that began in the 80's might be David Stern's greatest legacy.

I didn't see the game but I just went back and watched the highlights. Wow ... impressive is an understatement.

Bummed that the Hornets didn't win the lottery, but they probably would have found a way to screw it up. He's in a good spot with Pop, and it's fun to watch the kid do that kind of video-game stuff in an NBA game.

If Wemby stays healthy, he could join and maybe even surpass Jordan, King James, and Kareem. That looks like a future top 5 player to me.

Jokic only had 33, 14, and 9 yesterday on 14-16 from the field. I don't get the narrative that he's not fun to watch.

Obviously Perk got some backlash for his idiotic comments but there were a lot of people on ESPN that played the "he's not exciting" card.  Right now he's separated himself as clearly the best player in the league imo.

When I watch Giannis I'm concerned a little bit because he still really hasn't learned how to play in the half-court with any consistency.  What makes Jokic so special is he sees the floor and makes the right decision with the ball instantaneously. He can score pretty much at will one on one once he catches it at the FT line or mid-post.  What's crazier is he's probably a better passer than scorer. 

He's as fundamentally sound as Duncan but with better touch and range.  I think he's the best offensive big I've ever seen. You can't overstate how critical his passing abilities are towards their success.  He truly makes guys around him better, much better.

How do the shots all go in? How are all of his passes on target? He's not even moving that much but he in control of the game somehow? Dominant old guy energy

He's 28!  He actually has pretty good wheels for a man his size.

I guess Jokic is having an off night with the back to back.  He only 9-16, 28 pts, 14 rebs, and 7 dimes.
