Watching Giannis down the stretch, he doesn't have a true go-to move, which makes life a little difficult for him in the clutch.

He made that quick drive from the top of the key, but then on the next few possessions had back to back turnovers on bad decisions. On that second turnover, he probably could've had a lay in or hit the offensive glass for a put back, rather than kicking it to a covered Korver in the corner.

Bucks are a well built, quality team with good depth and coaching...but there's a little bit of that Lebron Cavs vibe about them. Maybe even that Hawks team that Bud coached previously, but with an alpha in Giannis. Great regular reason teams, but the jury is out in clutch time of the playoffs at the moment.

Giannis needs an offseason with Sifu Hakeem

Spoiler:
immediately after we sign him so we don't have an '11 Finals repeat

I feel like Milwaukee have done a terrible job developing Giannis' offensive game. 90% of his offense comes from a simple dribble move into driving layup using his body to force his way to the bucket. The other 10% are 3's and offensive put backs.

Giannis won't win a championship at Milwaukee, the best teams in the league will be able to lock in on him and if they can't they will just let him feast on 2's lock in on their shooters and beat him with the 3 ball.

I remember a certain poster, whose name also starts with R, touting that JRich was second coming of Steph Curry based on the half szn stats as a rookie MOS.

JRich is a nice combo guard who can defend and hit some open shots. Not a starting SG for a contender material. 6ers are in all kinds of mess though MOS all kinds

No GS, as good of a chance this yr as any

It looks like Reks can finish as a 3rd seed, beat both LA teams on their way to the title. I could see that bish

CP3 is a joy to watch and TJ Warren is the greatest basketball player on Earth.

OKC are frisky. Whoever draws them in the first round is going to have a bad time.

Nuggets chose the wrong time to make Troy Danielles the go to guy.

Damn, TJ Warren really going HAM right now. Kinda wanna see us play the Pacers first round for the Butler/Warren matchup. Might end up closer than we think tbh, Warren balling rn.

MPJ with the breakout game. 37/12? Sheeesh. I was just thinking how pedestrian he looked vs us too.

Still non Warren believer wilts. the guy is soft and jimmy will make sure to lock him down.

MPJ has had a couple of very good shooting games ofc tonight being the best. consistency isn't quite there, but with all the guards down with injuries and more shots available, i expect him to have more impactful games like this. Denver's gamble definitely paid off imo fml
