Clippers don't have a chip, so it's proven. Can't compare us. Just stop. I think the ignore feature is going to be used here soon. You're just spewing nonsense Bucks hate for some odd reason.
If you want to keep living in 2021, well that's ok, whatever makes you feel comfortable and happy man.
We are not like a year away from our ring. We haven't even reached to Conference Finals again. We can't stay healthy to even compete properly. 2x 1st round exits and 1 2nd round.
Giannis is younger than Kawhi but he has been injured 2 postseasons in row.
Giannis - Kawhi
Khris - Paul George
Lillard - James Harden
Brook - Zubac
Portis - Norman Powell
It's sad, we are supposed to have one of the best health conditioning staff in the NBA but it doesn't translate to actual data. Letting Giannis play through injury late in the regular season is so so so frustrating and dumb in so many ways that I can't point fingers to only one.
We need roster changes ... availability is a skill and we need to adress it. I wish Horst has his best summer as a GM and we can surely win it all next year.

Neither team proved they could overcome the other. But we badly out-played them in the regular season, we have better top players than them or Dallas, & they don't match up as well, especially Giannis. Middleton's crushed them historically. Put better complements around them than last season, and the Bucks are going to be hard for Boston to beat.
The team that wins the championship usually gets overrated in subsequent seasons. The Nuggets did, as did we. The last team that kept winning was the Warriors.

We're wasting Giannis years; we get 2x faster the second he sits down and someone with strong/mobile legs comes in. Someone bet me and we will each screenshot it; whoever's wrongs pays up.
The sooner we move on from KM or put him in a Ginobli role, the sooner we get become legit again. Idc about his ppg if he can't move, get back on D and defend.

It's amazing how obsessed you are. We lost to Boston w/out Khris, he beat them the prior series, historically has lit it up against them to the point their fans whine about it, & he helps us match up more naturally w/ their big wings; but he's the impediment in ever being able to beat them.

Then bet.
Tail end of his career staying here.. best case scenario is trade Bobby and let KM go for 6th man the next 4 years. Stagger the lineups so 2 of those 3 are always in. Let KM post when GA sits and initiate when Dame sits. Keep him around 25-28 min. It's not hate, it's realism.

Someone else to absorb that 1st initial wave of energy and set a tone. Then methodically bring in Mids to be an assassin against more bench guys.
