I don’t know how people who believe that still exist. Thought that camp died off a while ago.


In fairness, Jaylen leapfrogged Jayson for a month-long (or two) stretch several more times than anybody thought was likely.

They're both streaky scorers.

Thanasis plays like that drug addict who asks for the ball and then proceeds to talk about how he was NBA bound but he broke his 4th meta parcel muscle. And then proceeds to break a car window shooting the ball.

Thanasis is a decent Euroleague player who was asked if he'd like to completely waste his prime at the end of the Bucks bench in order to help his brother win an NBA championship, in exchange for $1.7m a year, instead of *maybe* half that if he stayed in Europe.

It's an interesting dilemma, don't know what I'd do in his place.

Tatum is really key. He's putrid they lose. He's great they win. I'm glad he listened to my criicisms earlier :lol:

Tatum showed this mamba quality when he first came into the league. In a few years he is going to be consistently scary.

People talk about Luka and the players around him, but, my God Giannis has to do literally everything for these guys. The statlines are great but shouldn't have to be this gaudy

Game 7's are ugly and usually favor the team with the best player. Dont expect a high score or alot of made jumpers imo.

Nothing more infuriating when your team is clearly going to lose some key game and the morons in the crowd are dancing and singing. Who the **** let them in?

They bought their way in, and I don't know why they bother TBH, they can't possibly be actual team fans and be so happy in that moment. Probably flipped a coin last minute between the game and the movies or something.

If there's any team in the playoffs that you trust to win a road game it's the defending champions. That said without Middleton it's not looking good.

Boston's series to lose, fact we've won 3, shows our championship pedigree and off-course how ridiculous Giannis is. KD couldn't do **** against this Boston d.
