If Giannis loses out of this MVP it would be the biggest MVP the debacle ever in my opinion oh, there's really not much more a player can do to win MVP he has done it all. If anything you can say wow Gianna's does have another All-Star and very good role players, LeBron is playing with a potential top 5 player in the league . still Milwaukee has a better record

The only thing would be if the lakers end up with a better record and Giannis misses too many games. But it shouldn’t be close. Anyone but Lebron wouldn’t be in the running.

Sunday's game in AZ was pretty bad.  They couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in the first half and got too far behind without their MVP.  Monday's game in Denver might be another loss if they continue to have problems scoring and allowing other teams to 3 point them to death.

What if the Lakers finish with a better record? Do you still feel the same way?

We all better hope we finish with a better record.  I for one want us to have home court advantage if we are in the finals.  Of course it didn't help us last year...

I can understand why Giannis and Bledsoe didn't play but why did Bud keep Brook, Middleton and Donte out?  It was almost like he was conceding this game and resting his starters sans Matthews.

This makes sense. I was getting a little too close to title.

Milwaukee Bucks

G: Oscar Robertson
G: Sidney Moncrief
G: Ray Allen
F: Giannis Antetokounmpo
C: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

The golden era of the Bucks franchise took place in the early 1970s with Abdul-Jabbar and Robertson running the show. Milwaukee hasn't won a title since that 66-win, 1970-71 squad brought one back to town. Now, there's a new era underway with Antetokounmpo, the reigning MVP, leading the team back to relevance. Those three picks were no-brainers.

Moncrief (in the 1980s) and Allen (in the '90s and 2000s) were perennial All-Stars who led their respective teams deep into the playoffs. Although Marques Johnson hasn't reached the Hall of Fame, it was tough leaving him out of this lineup, but a tough decision had to be made.

That's a nice squad.

ESPN put a panel together and did votes on the NBA awards. They have Giannis winning the MVP and DPOY and rightfully so. The only other players to do that in the same season are Hakeem and Jordan.

Looks like we are getting basketball next month, I could not be more excited for it. I would celebrate this title like it was any other, maybe more because I'm so thirsty for hoops. This format could actually be pretty beneficial for the Bucks... 

* Bucks have better chemistry than Lakers and Clippers. Should be less impacted by time off.

* Giannis has a motor that does not require fan hype. Will vets like Kawhi and Lebron be a little turned off (slightly)? 

* Will shooting in an empty gym yield increased percentages? What team shoots most threes?? Giannis free throw line improvement?? 

Sure I am reaching a little but lets have some fun, basketball should be back soon!

Watched Giannis highlights from today’s game. 
he gained 40 pounds of muscle and also 3 inches in height.

I want nothing to do with Boston in the playoffs. I feel fine about beating them in a 7-game series, but I live in fear of the time Marcus Smart finally hurts Giannis with his lone defensive technique of flopping and taking him to the floor as many times as possible.

I was gonna lose my **** if Giannis got hurt on that over the back call where Smart hooked his arm and brought him down with him.

Hopefully Sunday is a good game between the bucks and the rockets. Bucks are a horrible match up for us, so I’m not expecting a win but I’d like to see a good game.

I love this squad.
