Greek Freaking and Kembamonium

I hate myself a little for that title but I'm still going with it. Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to impress the world as he uses his go go gadget arms to extend and slam it over Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat. I don't think Bosh realized he was going up to block a partial alien before it was too late. I have Giannis on my fantasy team and although he may be near the bottom of my squad it's plays like this that keep me from trading him away. 

Walker seems to be making a name for himself with game winners although this may be the first one I've seen from him that didn't come off of a step-back jumper. With 4 seconds to go and the Hornets down by 1 Kemba gets the ball outside of the 3 point line and makes a beeline (get it? hornets, beeline. God I hate myself more for that than the title) to the rim and lays it in as the clock expires giving Charlotte the 103-102 win. 

Monta Madness in Milwaukee

Monta Ellis continues being on a heater in tonight's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Mavericks fought back after being down 9 in the 4th quarter and were even up by two with under 30 seconds to go. Brandon Knight stepped up for the Bucks however and hit a step back jumper to tie the game with 8.1 seconds remaining. I think Ellis was tired of OT games in the last week and a bit (OT vs the Knicks and 2OT the night before vs the Bulls) and made sure to hit the game winning shot with no time remaining. Ellis finished the game with 23pts 2reb and 7ast and possibly the biggest shot of the Mavericks season thus far. I think Parsons shares my sentiment. 

Toooooo much MONTA!!!!

Giannis Antetokounmpo starts his layups from the 3 point line

The Milwaukee Bucks starting small forward affectionately nicknamed the Greek Freak lives up to that title with his play against the Detroit Pistons Friday night. He started his finger-roll layup from behind the 3 point line. No really. This is Giannis' second year in the league and he's shown an improvement over last season although it is still apparent when watching a full game that he has a lot of development to do before he can be an all-star caliber player in the NBA. Until then however he will be known for crazy inhuman plays like this. I want to see Giannis take off from the free throw line Michael Jordan style. Hell I bet he could stand at the free throw line fall straight forward and still somehow dunk it. The dude is all limbs and I love it. 

Brandon Knight 3 clutch daggers to fend off the Heat

The Milwaukee Bucks desperate to hold off a late 4th quarter run by Bosh and the Heat looked for some heroics from Brandon Knight who stepped up when they needed him most. The Bucks were up by 4 with 3:30 left in the game until Brandon Knight got hot. Knight hit a 3 pointer and Norris Cole would fire back with a 3 of his own but Knight kept feeling it as he hit another 3 on the possession right after to expand the Bucks lead back to 7. Mario Chalmers then scored a layup to bring the heat within 5 with 1:10 to go. Now with the shot clock running down for the Bucks Brandon Knight was forced to put up a tough top of the key 3 pointer that fell and sealed the deal for Milwaukee. Knight would finish the game with 20 points 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the Bucks 91-84 victory. Dwyane Wade sat out again for the Miami Heat and it seemed to cost them as Bosh shot badly making only 2-17 of his field goals. When this occurs the Heat have issues finding a consistent secondary scorer to at least provide an offensive threat the way Wade does. 

Knight's hot streak begins at the 5 minute mark of the video.
