You ever tape a podcast and everything happens in those 20 minutes you’re behind the mic? Probably not. This is very much a me problem. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 35 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in a losing effort against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Giannis couldn’t match LeBron James’ night who had a massive game with 40 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. It’s not entirely Antetokounmpo’s fault at this point. Yet the hot take master Skip Bayless decided to throw the first lob at Antetokounmpo which will probably not be his last, but Giannis made sure to keep his criticism in mind.

After the game, Giannis liked the tweet from Bayless. Is that the best idea? Maybe not. It’s going to be a talking topic for Undisputed at the start of the show. Local radio will probably discuss it too. But if this is the type of motivation to turn the Bucks season around, I’m here for it. Seriously, I went on about a 10-minute rant about how I’m not having any fun watching the Milwaukee professional basketball team. If this Bayless tweet turns the whole fucking thing around, let’s do it then. He can keep hearing Bayless hate on him, and Milwaukee can keep winning basketball games.

If you’re curious how desperate I am for a Bucks hot streak, here’s where I am. A tweet from Skip Bayless motivating Giannis.

Charlie.
