PG Sixers: Trust the Process ends the streak

[Pachinko_]

A version of Giannis that isn't a bonehead? What a **** weird reply. Giannis played like a moron. Doesn't mean people want him traded.

I know, I'm so weird
Whereas the normal thing is to call a guy who just had 34/13 fresh off a 16 win streak a bonehead and a moron. I need to get with the program

Just out of curiosity, would you say this to his face?

What does 34/13 mean when he made crucial errors in a loss after we led by 20 points?

He himself would know he wasn't good enough so he doesn't need you holding him up.

Yeah sure, next time we win remember that you're cheering a boneheaded moron. Because being a moron is not something that comes and goes, you either are or you arent.

You know it's ok to admit you just saying stuff you don't mean because it made you feel better for 3 seconds after a loss. It's ok, it happens to everybody.

Next time everybody gotta ask your permission first before they rightfully criticise the star player.

You called me weird right? because I gave a weird response before.
Now you are telling me that you actually meant what you said about Giannis, which if it's true makes you a fan of a boneheaded moron.
And you are calling me weird?

[AussieBuck]

It is wildly **** difficult being both the hyper aggressive guy and the guy who doesn't have wildly bad quarters/halves and sometimes games. Only giannis, Manu, me and a few others know this burden.

I called your reply saying just trade Giannis because someone had the audacity to criticise Giannis weird, yes.

[SirChurros]

Sometimes I think he still thinks he just has to go hero ball all the time during crunch time. Whereas Lebron used to have the tendency to defer in crunch time, Giannis is almost the opposite sometimes.

It’s like every time another team’s star makes a big play in the clutch, you can almost guarantee Giannis is going to try to respond on the other end, even if it means forcing something.

The whole flow of the offense was off in the 4th. It was night and day from the big 3rd.

Unless my 3rd grade English is failing me calling someone a bonehead and a moron goes way way way beyond basketball. But even if you want to talk basketball this type of "criticism" (fkn hell) completely disregards everything this guy has done and is doing consistently on the floor, and yes, unless you can point me to someone better than that particular guy your "criticism" is just an empty dead-end vent, which is what my comment was all about. If you need me to spell it all out.

And, even if I am a little bit weird, you're still the fan of a boneheaded moron.

Not a good Giannis game. Middleton plays like Ingles. Bud should have challenged Middleton's foul on Harden

I feel we underestimate Sixers, they have two players that are unstoppable scorers and a third scorer in Maxey. Harden has taken a backseat to Embiid but he can still produce if he gets enough shots. Still I think we are the favorites in a playoff series against them.

Our offense can rarely crack open the interior defense of a team. Other than Giannis’ interior play, we win comfortably when we hit our 3 s. Our offense is mainly composed of passing the ball in a circle till someone gets a bit open to shoot a three. Hopefully Dragic can create better than whoever we have now; that is why so far we have no smooth flow to the offense. Even Ingles doesn’t create at all. As we saw, the sixers scored in a variety of ways; we just don’t have that ability. I thought Giannis’ free throw percentage was superb in the fourth quarter. But yes, there was no smoothness of flow in the offense

[yannisk]

Lots of extreme reactions. If we somehow won this thread would be "Not his best game but Giannis took the game by the horns and led us to victory". Now instead of saying he did not play well or forced things we hear he is dump and moron. This board is full of ungrateful basketball geniuses

I was at the UCLA/Arizona game. Came back to the hotel to watch this. Got a burger. Got comfy. Accidentally saw the score. Decided to watch a movie.

being a moron is not something that comes and goes, you either are or you arent.

I’d like to see the data on this.

I am beginning to think that we need Aj Green than Leonard in the playoffs roster. Khris ‘ offense is nowhere near what it was plus his defense was not too good today at least. We may need Green s 3 point shooting.

I mostly agree with my dude Pachinko but I'm pretty good at going either way on and off the court.

Smart move.... If doing replay, Watch the 3rd quarter for some joy and immediately turn it off before the 4th.

[BroncoBuck]

Khris just isn’t shooting. He needs to shoot. There’s no reason for him to only have 2 three point attempts tonight.

You'll have to ask him. He is the one who said "he is a moron", he didn't say "he was temporarily being a moron".

Could be the bipolar moron syndrome.

Moron during PG losses and genius in PG W threads.

[FrieAaron]

Obnoxious loss. Giannis threw hard trying to force things when we were cruising for no reason. And the 3 point foul and non-box out were both game changing errors. At least the Celtics did us a favor giving us a bigger cushion. Need to start another streak.

Just rookie level dumb **** by Giannis when we play Philly & Boston.

He's pretty stubborn and as some of the board have said before he's not exactly the smartest player. Put those two things together and you're going to see a lot of stupid **** no matter how good the player is outside of that. You would think he'd grow and learn from that but that isn't really who Giannis is. He wants to run through a brick wall no matter how hard it is.

It's probably both things. Boston and Philly do have the size to make Giannis have to work a bit harder than he does against most teams. But Giannis also appears to feel the pressure of playing those teams from a mental standpoint and gets kind of mind ****.

For example a guy like Grant Williams should have zero chance at defending Giannis. Grant Williams' only chance to stop Giannis is to stand in the paint and then just hope and pray that Giannis keeps trying to barrel into him. It's incredibly frustrating to then watch Giannis proceed to continually barrel into him.

Seems like it's a mental thing and Giannis presses when we play those 2 teams. Like if Grant Williams wasn't wearing a Celtics jersey Giannis would probably make a fool out of out of him.

Just using Grant Williams as one example but it is concerning that Giannis goes brain dead when we play these 2 teams.

A smart timeout to calm him down would do wonders. It's very evident when he's starting to get reckless.

It's unfortunate he can still be baited into bad decisions. Like if Embiid scores over him, he's *definitely* aggressively going after him on the next play. Embiid can then flop and get the ball back.
