Giannis has no go to move at all, that's why he looks worse when the game slows down. He can run up and down well and dunk in transition, but for half court offense his skillset is average. He still gets some points on physical dominance alone, but that's not enough to carry a team. His ball handling is average, which is why even James Harden when he's injured calls off double teams when guarding him. Which is also why Holiday and Middleton have to take over as primary creators in the playoffs, which changes the team dynamics completely. Can't create a shot for himself off the dribble, can't post up, can't shoot, doesn't bend defenses to himself. He's a great kid but he needs to get better in some of these things, otherwise his incredible physical gift will go to waste.

Durant is a freakin monster
He’s incredible. I haven’t liked him for years for joining a 73 win team he lost too after being up 3-1. Was ultimate pussy move. And this Brooklyn Nets team is again mega stacked after Harden acted like a total bitch all off-season and forced the trade there for peanuts… but super respect after this series either way. Insane stretch of games since Kyrie went down.

Just ran out of gas unfortunately and missed everything. Awful

Yeah, one millimeter further on the last shot and they win this. But he's clearly gassed in OT, and no one else can hit anything, despite some wide open looks. Without Harden for 4 games (and the 3 games he played he wasn't 'Harden'), and without Kyrie for the last 3.5 games, to push this so far, that's showing the guys greatness.

Anyway, Bucks have a golden opportunity. Hopefully they beat the clippers if those go so far

Isnt he a clippers wannabe fan?

Im just surprised that one of Chucks GUARANTEEs came true
He’s a fan of any team that has a shot at beating Lebron’s team. :lol:

But whatever team’s Kawhi and KD are on are his first loves.

Honestly though, could you imagine the trashing in the media Lebron would be getting right now if he went 0-6 in OT and airballed a potential game-winning three in OT of a 7th game. Wouldn’t matter at all what he had done all game, media would be going nuts about how he lacks a clutch gene and can’t shoot. :lol2:

Jazz can't go far with Mike Conley playing 1 game in a series, it's become ridiculous how often he is injured. Mitchell also not in great shape but he still had a great play-offs. If those two are fit it's probably a different story, but the other guys didn't step up, and that collapse was unbelievable.

@ALC Ben Simmons issa fucking joke....


WHO passes up an open layup with 3 minutes left in game 7, cuz you too shook to take shot, in fear you may miss (trae fucking young is defending you, an athletic 6'11 beast, under the basket, and you too scared?), or worse, you may be fouled and miss free throws. Gtfo.
