Trae should’ve been in these final minutes. Nurse playing favorites.

Giannis is going to punch one of his teammates in the throat for not passing him the ball.

they shouldn't be allowed to end on a FT

Refs need to do the right thing and make this a jump ball. How do you end this with free throws? It’s the fkn all star game man.

Are we going to act as if this game isn't scripted? :lol:

The ending would make Vince McMahon blush with how scripted it was.

You knew his days were numbered after he referred to his players as a bunch of thugs.

I don't know how you make that game scripted. I think both teams just legit played hard. And if you were gonna make up an ending for this game, it would've ended in a game winning jumper and not a free throw.

That was f*cking great TV. Idk how Giannis doesn’t get the ball in the fourth. Lowry is such a comic maniac.

That charge on Lowry, and then James Harden turning down a game-winner open layup to pass it to someone to shoot a 3 pointer.

I kept looking at the clock knowing the game was going to end at 11:30.

Lowry was right to not give Giannis the ball, he had a front row seat to how he can't come through in the big moments

finals preview for when LA wins in 4

If I was going to make up an ending it would have been LeBron making that 40 foot 3 pointer

But AD winning on a free throw and Kawhi getting the Kobe award is ok with me

Giannis was running towards the ball the way Randle does and Embiid ignored him.

The team captain was getting frozen out when it mattered most. :lol:

So, that's your position on RJ? lol Keep in mind, Evan Turner was at Ohio State because he was ranked 49th on the ESPNU100. He was not a big time HS or AAU player. RJ was number one. Not to mention, he re-classified and started college a year early. He should be a college freshman this year. Open the floor up and it will give him a chance to succeed.

Yes, it's my position.

Fair enough. Obviously, if he doesn’t become a better shooter, he’s in trouble. Time will tell.

Everyone says that Giannis needs a 3pt shot... nonsense. He needs a go to move. He has the athleticism and height to shoot unblockable shots. He needs to practice one that comes natural and make it automatic. Whether it’s a post hook, a turnaround fade, dirks on foot fade, Ewing’s drop step, etc. Embiid was the best person to give the ball to on the East simply because he is so polished and could get a good attempt off every time. That’s what makes him and Philly so dangerous. Giannis would benefit greatly at the end of games if he has some set moves instead of always improvising. If I’m Giannis, this had to of been eye opening, frustrating and a warning as-to what’s ahead for him.
