The media is running out of superlatives to describe Giannis Antetokounmpo. Brook Lopez feels their pain. 'You need some ways to just describe how his game grows. It’s tough.” Nevertheless, eric_nehm gave it a shot anyway.
’s miss underneath the Rockets’ basket, there were three defenders in front of him. And yet, just three dribbles later, Antetokounmpo threw down a nonchalant dunk with his left hand.
“I think his ability to get to the paint, as always, is good, but the confidence he shot those two 3s with, the pull-up jumper at the top of the key,” Budenholzer said. “He did a lot of it himself. I feel like we weren’t able to get him the ball, they stayed attached to him in a lot of the pick-and-roll situations and stuff like that.”In the end, Antetokounmpo missed just four shots from the field, five free throws and committed just four turnovers.
“Still, I’m not where I think I can be. And it’s not about points. That doesn’t mean when I get where I want to be, I’m going to score 50 or 60 or I’m going to score 40 again, but there’s a feel. Things are clicking, the ball is moving faster, the ball feels like an extension of myself. I’m on balance more. I’m in shape more. All those things combined put you in rhythm and then you can put yourself in a position to help the team.
