Giannis "Sisyphus" Antentokumpo

Giannis might very quickly be regretting signing that supermax. If the Nets are healthy next season and run through the league while he's stuck with Jrue and Middleton, he's going to be big mad.

suns are an avg finals level team. bucks are 2nd round at best. east is really weak everyone overachieved except nets.
nets are probably greatest what ifs 3 peat. im a nets fan but kd hater bc all he had to do was stall and win 1 series before harden returns.

I’ve been very critical of Giannis over the years due to being significantly worse in the playoffs than the regular season.

He’s definitely silenced a significant part of that for me this season, but he’s got a lot of work to do still.

Same or somewhere else this team is capped out . They can’t trade Middleton for what they need

Bucks got some SERRIOUSSS work ahead of them.

Bridges was incredible. Locked down the wing and was a scoring machine

As far FMVP right now I got Ayton and Booker neck and neck

I've been thinking the exact same thing. He's been dominating when it's necessary as a superstar should.

This is the loss that's probably going to come back to haunt them. This game was theirs to win.

80% Giannis still the best player in the NBA Finals. That much we know.

And when you think about the 5 first-round picks they gave up for Jrue...it's even worse than it seems.

Ballerhogger · Post #2498 » by **Ballerhogger** » Fri Jul 9, 2021 3:35 am

I’d trade for Middleton for bridges if I could

Milwaukee isnt beating Phoenix 4/5 times

Theyve lost to them 4 straight now including the Rs. Phoenix just executes much better in the halfcourt, has better shotmakers and far better ball movement

I won't be too sure about that. The Bucks have made the games close, and they're bound to shoot and execute better in Milwaukee. Even their regular season games were both decided by 1 point, both 50-50 in favor of each team.

This will go 6 at least.
