Just 7 games into the season Bucks head coach Doc Rivers is already losing patience with referees over the way Giannis Antetokounmpo is (or frankly, isn't) being officiated.
Antetokounmpo has been fouled flagrantly 2x so far, with more uncalled hard fouls. #NBASky

So the Bucks have caught a hold of SOMETHING to start this season, and it is WORKING.
Need to wait another 12-14 games to know if it’s real or not, but if it’s real…

Disastrous third quarter for the Kings. They trail 101-91 heading to the fourth after getting outscored 39-27 in the period. LaVine leads with 20 points. Defense took the quarter off.

Game 1: Giannis has 37, 6 other players get at least 9 pts
Game 2: Giannis 31, 5 others with at least 10
Game 3: Giannis 40, 4 others score 10 or more
Game 4: Giannis 37, 4 others get at least 9
We know GA will get 30+, and the sidekicks will chip in. Which sidekicks? Good luck figuring that out! 👍

Bucks are playing fast (which is good) and have some sloppy mistakes (which is not) but the whole “having Giannis” thing has kept this under control.

Illegal gambling is very serious and must be handled as a major crime against our country. The moral fabric of our nation is at stake!

I know the NBA is back (hooray!) but godDAMN this is infuriating. Every member of this administration is a charlatan and each and every elected federal politician who enables such blatant in-broad-daylight corruption is a coward and must be thrown out of elected office ASAP. Disgusting.

I’m on vacation — and it’s unlikely anyone gives a damn what I think — but I really really REALLY like that AJ Green extension for the Bucks. Good deal for a good player, and a very tradeable contract if/when that becomes a necessary step for a deal.
Plus, awesome two-way contract success story!
