Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo takes record from Kareem Abdul ... (ClutchPoints)

Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo made history on Tuesday night by surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the scoring books.

Antetokounmpo and Co. will want to take a 2-0 advantage to Chicago when this opening-round series shifts to the Bulls’ home court for Games 3 and 4. It may have been a simple layup for Giannis but it certainly has lifted his status as the Bucks franchise GOAT. Some might argue that this title still belongs to Kareem but at this point, it’s getting harder and harder to contest Antetokounmpo’s claim to the throne. Giannis will need to be at his very best on Wednesday as the Bucks look to make it 2-0 against a formidable Bulls side.

Need to stay disciplined on defense vs. What situation is Bud subbing Giannis in and out for? What the hell is he thinking taking Giannis out and then not calling timeout to out him back in?

Patrick Williams and Giannis Antetokounmpo Both Wear Pants (bleachernation.com)

From adjusting to an entirely new roster of teammates to missing 65 regular-season games due to a wrist injury, Patrick Williams has been dealt a tough hand ...

The more confident he is in his own abilities, the more comfortable he should be expressing that on the court. Indeed, this is the exact kind of off-court demeanor we want a player of Williams’ potential to carry. Now, the only question is whether or not this off-court mindset can start to have an on-court influence. I feel like a lot of people in this league are scared of or nervous to guard guys like that … He puts his pants on the same way I do. The last thing we need is for the Greek Freak to have bulletin board material. Chances are we’re bound to see that happen again in Game 2, and Williams couldn’t sound more prepared.
