Not being able to foul out defiantly works in the big guys favor.
It sucks Antic won’t be able to play, but let’s be real, Plumlee deserved to be on this team.
Wait! We have our first Antetokounmpo pronunciation attempt! Wow… the announcer said it correctly… I wonder how many times he had to practice it.
They should have had Sir Charles and Shaq as assistant coaches. That would have been funny.
My dark horse choice for MVP is “The Alphabet’ Giannis Antetokounmpo… why? Solely because I want to hear the announcers have to say his name over and over again.
On paper it looks like team Hill will have the advantage because of size, but team Hill has some serious gunners on it. This should be epic.
