Why are people trying to convince themselves that Giannis injured Kyrie on purpose it was just another unlucky break we caught this season. I understand emotions are high but do better.
Mistakes were made but no team plays a perfect game and i'm sure if the result was reversed the Bucks fans could pick apart all the mistakes they made and decisions they didn't get. There are no guarantee's so people convincing themselves that if we had done ABC we would have won are kidding themselves if it gives you comfort carry on but we will never know.
Personally i'm looking ahead to next season with players hopefully fully rested and healthy. Harden did his best and played when we needed him even though he was injured, KD got through his first season after injury and looked sublime, Kyrie is such a showman and I can watch him play all day, the emergence of Clax who will only be better next season so many positives happened this year but it just wasn't meant to be this time.
Good luck to the Bucks, it was some game 7 it really was a fight to the end and surely neither set of fans can ask more from their teams than that.
Great post. The Bucks fans are the same.
Prior to last night, a sizable group of Bucks posters wanted to trade Giannis for Lillard or McCollum and draft choices. They think Giannis is a low IQ player (he certainly makes some questionable decisions). I do think his game hasn't grown as much as it could the last three seasons, but blame the coach for not developing a go to moves(s) and allowing him and even encouraging him to shoot threes.
In any case, because of injuries, there's no way the Nets should have been in the series. The hate against Nash is undeserved.
Lastly, Middleton drew a lot fouls on three point attempts during the series, because he wasn't allowed room to land. I don't think any of them were dirty. A few were committed by Harris, a few by Harden.
I really can boil down why the Nets lost to one thing. If Joe Harris plays even slightly better, the series goes the other way. That open three at the end is something he usually makes in his sleep.
