These old heads are getting outcoached something serious in these playoffs. It's staggering to see Budenholzer or Thibodeau refuse to adjust completely. They're old and stubborn, and religiously attached to ideas even when they're clearly not working.

These younger coaches like Williams, Lue and Nash are much more flexible, and are not afraid to make bold decisions.

I find the contrast to be quite incredible. Unfortunately, it seems like we're stuck with the former.

Can we please wait and see what thibs does with actual talent on roster before we cast aspersions on him!!!!!!

Like cmon man dude just won coy with a bunch of journeymen!!!!!!

Smh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Star players are not interested in guarding against each other

I’m starting to wonder if all these players feel the same as harden about Giannis. Never seen the league come out like this against one player

They most certainly do. He's not American, didn't grow up on the AAU circuit with them like Embiid/Simmons did and it seems like he doesn't hang out with any NBA players other than his brothers.

You don't like Brook Lopez making plays and chasing guys on the perimeter on defense?

I was gonna say they need to hard pivot and look at trading picks for young players who are kind of position less, but then I remember they gave up 4 firsts for Jrue :lol:

I don’t think it has anything to do with him not being American!!!!!!

They just honestly don’t think he’s that good, especially with all the hype he gets from the media!!!!!!

There's been plenty of players who flame out, or don't take the challenge, Harden has had plenty of bad playoff performances and nobody ever comes for him like these players are for Giannis. I think a lot of it has to do with him not being American and also not being part of the buddy buddy part of the NBA. If he was friends with these guys they wouldn't really say much.

You come out up 16 at half, Harden has shown next to nothing to scare you, you make a statement and swarm KD with Giannis and getting the ball out of his hands where he makes bad decisions more than rarely. At least make KD pay with fatigue by the end of a game he’s up well over 40 mins.

Passive and unimaginative 2nd half. Series is probably half over right now if you can make someone other than KD beat you.

Because he can't.
