Anthony Edwards has always been crazy explosive. But scary thing for NBA is he’s only 20 and has already started to figure out how to shift gears, play on balance, and be explosive functionally in and out of moves. 25 points vs. MIL, including two huge late buckets vs Middleton pic.twitter.com/hNDn34WjG4 – 11:57 PM

The crackdown on foul-drawing hasn’t affected Giannis — he’s up slightly to 9.8 FTA per game, and perhaps more importantly he’s connected on 73.5% so far. Rest of his numbers also rounding into form: 27.6 ppg, 11.6 rpg, 6.6 apg, 2.0 bpg in just 31 mpg on .522/.353/.735 shooting. – 11:57 PM

Anthony Edwards nails the Giannis analysis:

The concern about playing Vanderbilt with the starters is the spacing problems.

Timberwolves lead the Bucks 44-34 after a first quarter that was the polar opposite of Monday. Russell with 13, Towns and Edwards with 11. 68% likely not to sustain, can they defend well enough when the shots start to miss more frequently? – 8:41 PM

Budenholzer got T’d up arguing McDaniels was holding Middleton while going over the screens. Next time McDaniels does it, he gets the call. – 8:22 PM

Pat Connaughton projects to be one of the best stretch fives in the NBA this season if he keeps shooting like this. – 8:18 PM

Vanderbilt in the starting lineup for the first time and he gets the unenviable assignment of guarding Giannis. McDaniels on Middleton. – 8:12 PM

Finch started Jarred Vanderbilt to get some more size into this thing. Will be interesting to see how he and KAT mesh offensively. – 8:11 PM

Really like how Kira is getting into the paint early on. Has a couple nice passes too. Looks much more in control than he did in Minnesota. – 8:09 PM

The Spurs had a better night yesterday shooting the wide open 3.
53% of the Spurs’ 3s were wide open. San Antonio made 47% of them.
Against the Bucks, SA made just 25% of their wide open 3s. – 7:25 PM

When asked pregame about offensive efficiency, Chris Finch joked that everyone is more efficient than they are right now. Also said the Bucks D is more like calculus where the Wolves D is still learning algebra.
Refreshing, honest analysis of where the team currently stands. – 6:51 PM

Mike Budenholzer said he expects Bobby Portis and Semi Ojeleye to play tonight.
He then said those two are not in the starting lineup before clarifying he doesn’t know who is in the starting lineup and saying the starting lineup will be released 30 minutes before the game. – 6:29 PM
