The Bucks are worthless and I'm even rooting for them. 3rd postseason in a row where they come up short after being one of the strongest teams in the regular season.
Giannis is not a closer. He does not have the skillset to be one either because he cannot shoot for shit.
yeah in today's league you need a perimeter game. Problem is Giannis has no post up game as well. He's just freakishly athletic but lacks fundamentals. I also think Khris Middleton is not good enough to be a 2nd option on a championship team. The bucks are running out of time on a championship run and it's looking more and more like Giannis needs a better set of players around him that complement his style of play.
I think the problem is more Giannis himself and the fact he is not a 1 on a true championship contender. You can win with Middleton and Jrue Holiday as your 2 and 3 because they space the floor and are legit defensive players. But when you cannot rely on your best player. your franchise late in close playoff games when the rim is walled off? That is on him. They do have a perfect team around him because it is all floor spacers. Even the center Brook Lopez can splash. This is on Giannis.
Good point. A true star elevates his team. That's the problem with the Bucks in the playoffs. It's easy to gameplan against their best player which is why even though I've been rooting for them, I'm never surprised when they fold in the playoffs. Miami exposed them last year and they blamed the bubble/lack of crowd for their failures but it's been the same issue this postseason.

You hit the freaking nail on the head. Teams do not fear Giannis when a series gets tight. He cannot make adjustments himself because he is still limited as a scorer which I know is crazy to say because of his point totals. He is like a bull in a china shop. He is going to keep trying come hell or high water and score at the rim because he has no other tools in his toolbag as of right now. He has no mid range shot. And def no three point shot. If the Bucks are going to win this series it will only be because "the others" get hot from three. But I think we all know the bucks had their shot and they folded like they always do in the playoffs. You are up double digits for most of the game in the always pivotal game 5? You got to step on the throat. They only have themselves to blame.
Kawhi is out for game 5 and might miss the rest of the series. Jazz take it if he's really out but it will be close. If kawhi was healthy, clippers would have taken it.
The East needs Damian Lillard. Giannis can't shoot, Embiid's second guy is Simmons who also can't shoot. Lillard will solve both of those teams' problems.

The Sixers with Dolla Dame would already have at least one title by now. You cannot win a NBA title in the NBA in 2021 when your PG is a Ben Wallace equivalent free throw shooter and is absolutely no threat from three. He is a worse version of Giannis in that he is so easy to defend late in playoff games because he cannot just get his transition points or easy points in the paint.
Holy shit. What a got damn comeback by the Hawks. That was un real. They were down by 14 with 6 minutes left in the fourth.
Lol Doc Rivers coached teams always seem cursed, tbh. Other than the one year his team won but that's because his team was stacked.
But Trae Young is so good.
It is pretty hard to out choke a Atlanta sports team but at least for this game Philly did lmao. I could totally see in a city that has 28-3 on it's record them dropping games 6 and 7 and losing this series. ATL is all about the choke job lmao

It is crazy how the media is so freaking obsessed with a fat dad bod foreign player in Luka that they forget how special Trae Young is. Like that trade is not bad at all looking back at it. It is one of the most even trades maybe ever tbh.
Bucks pull off the upset. As good as Durant is as a player, he's also one of the biggest frauds in nba history. Literally got his championship rings because he was playing with Curry, Klay, and Draymond Green while the rest of the competition at the time was highly inferior. He hasn't done shit otherwise when he's had to carry more of a franchise player load.

All of what you said is true BUT it is also true they win if Kyrie was healthy lol. I am still shocked Bucks won this game. I did not think they could win a game of this magnitude ON THE FREAKING ROAD. They are known playoff choke artists. Good for them and Giannis. He is a weird superstar in terms of his game. But still a superstar nonetheless.

true but it would have been another case of him winning with two other superstars by his side. Other teams only have 1 true superstar or two at most. Sure, Harden was injured and looked awful this series as well, but on paper those 3 together healthy would have been too overwhelming to beat.
Im glad the nets lost though. Im getting sick of star players complain and force their way off of teams so they could all team up on a big market. In that regard, im glad it backfired for the Nets lol.

It is hilarious even wwith 2 superstars and 1 star that still no one gives a shit about Brooklyn. That crowd was absolute ASSSSSSSSSSSS for a game 7. Hipsters do not care about basketball!!! hahaha. New York will always be a knicks town. No matter how bad they suck.
nets were not supposed to win, with all their injures but kd put up a good fight with an injured harden and sorry *** joe harris, good game non the less
hahahahah Ben Simmons is UN PLAYABLE in fourth quarters of meaningful basketball games!!! He still has like 5 years and 170 million left on his contract!! bahahaha. Have fun with that philly.
Ben Simmons is just there for a paycheck lol. He doesn't care about winning because otherwise he would have fixed his shot early on in his career. Really dislike players like that and they deserve all the ridicule they get from the media and fans.

bumping this for truth. Put Lillard in place of Simmons and the 76ers are title favorites. You know the depth on their team is bad when Seth Curry is their 2nd best player after Embiid. Just unacceptable

Tobias Harris better be glad Ben Simmons is a teammate of his. Because without Simmons being a absolute NON factor this whole series the blame would be squarely on Tobias. 120 million dollar contract to score 4 points in a game 5 loss at home and then go 8 of 24 from the field in a game 7 loss at home. You got 2 max players doing jack shit and your best offense is some 2 man game action with the OTHER curry who is paid pennies and Embiid.
bucks are sorry ash and kd went offf

Who do y'all think is winning the Clippers/Jazz series??
clippers
Kawhi is out for game 5 and might miss the rest of the series. Jazz take it if he's really out but it will be close. If kawhi was healthy, clippers would have taken it.
jazz take it either way in 7 tho
Jesus Christ. I swear CP3 is cursed. He is in the covid protocol's now. Will miss 10-14 days regardless. Come on bruhhhhh....
and now kawhi injured his ACL
Holy shit. What a got damn comeback by the Hawks. That was un real. They were down by 14 with 6 minutes left in the fourth.

he's also just un tradeable because who the **** wants him on their starting line up....he's so useless
