ATL - Bane to Orlando for 4 FRP+

And of course Giannis would have to ask out.. but you dont think he wants to go head to head with Jokic for the next five years?? I think he would love it

SGA is awful to watch in crunch time.

SGA is going full Hero ball but is throwing up bricks. Smh. Make a play for your teammates.

[Sigra]

SGA is the guy who score most in team that win with defense. Not NBA MVP at all.

Dort barely played in the second half and I think that was a pretty big reason OKC came back and won.

Agree. His counting stats looks great for this game and he did some really good things out there. But he was awful in the last 3-4mins. Showing he def has some limitations to his game. Jokic was playing high in the zone and he couldn’t get the mid rangers he loves.

OKC’s bench won that game today. Interesting to see the OKC warts this series is showing. Dort is nearly unplayable, they struggle to run effective offence in big games, and Chet and Williams are still far too inconsistent.

After watching Denver-OKC i appreciate Giannis more

It shows how hard it can be to score in the Playoffs when defences are really locked in. Amidst our failings this post season, Giannis putting up 33/15/6 against a very good Indy team has been very glossed over.

We have the real MVP

[tsamo]

Honestly if Nuggets go any further they'd owe it all to Gordon and Murray.
They've turned up in the big moments.

For reference Jokic's stats so far this series:

26/15/5 on 39/21/78 shooting that comes out at about 49 TS%

He honeslty has plenty of time to turn it around of course, he's a true MVP, but no one can deny he's been subpar thus far. It honestly reminds me of Giannis against Toronto in the 2019 playoffs, when the wall was first deployed against him. Similar vibes.

Watching these playoffs does indeed make you appreciate Giannis even more.

These playoffs also make you realize even more how overrated Dame is.

Watching these games in the playoffs makes you realize the greatness of Giannis and watching these other games really makes it seem like if Giannis had any help whatsoever, the Bucks would be a force. And when you look at Giannis' numbers, he wouldn't even need a ton of help, just a little bit of help.

Yet when Giannis has the help of Dame, it really hasn't made much of a difference.

Giannis isn’t losing to any team in the league if he had either of these supporting casts + coach. If he had Tatum’s situation in Boston he might legit sweep or 16-1 the playoffs.

[rilamann]

IMO OKC is the only team that can beat Boston in a best of 7 series.

So OKC winning today could turn out to be devastating to Boston.

Yup. And we're going to saddle him with Doc again next year

Owners need to wake up!

[rilamann]

You could put Giannis on probably any other team in the league and they would likley be better than the current Bucks with Giannis.

[MickeyDavis]

What the hell lol

[Matches Malone]

Mathurin is constantly in these scuffles now. Low-key a knucklehead.

[MickeyDavis]

Don't blame Hunter but that was pretty dumb

[MikeIsGood]

Holy **** the refs got it right lol.

[blazza18]

Turner blindsiding Hunter there isn't great and probs should be thrown out too
