I doubt he does. It's just the script he was given on that particular topic.

Giannis wouldn't even be an all-star if refs accurately called his travels and offensive fouls

Bruno Caboclo would be an all star if he played under Giannis "rules".

[Revived]

Basically Celtics and Bucks fans have to be rooting for the Nuggets to win game 6 in their series so that this series can start (since it seems likely that both GSW & Houston wrap up their series in the next game).

brady would have never won a super bowl if he hadn't cheated either

Allegedly the spy gate was done for like 1 title. He has 6. Are u kidding me? This is hilarious. Are you implying that when he was like 24 and won his first title he was "cheating"??? Or he was cheating his last title?

I believe he's making a stupid statement to show how stupid the original statement was.

Btw, I think Semi will get a lots of time as we've all mentioned and I hope he can make a few shots here and there. I think he's perfectly capable of that, just confidence and stuff. If he does, it will be great cause he can match Giannis' physicality, I mean Semi looks like he came out of an Avengers movie.

You realize a team can be Historic 1 year even if they weren't the year before right? I have not seen anyone proclaim them some multi year dynasty. All evidence from this year is that they are historically good.

In fact, MIL has been so dominant this year that pretty much the only arguments people can make are arguments from previous years since this year the stats all highly favor them. Yes, they could get upset like the 07 Pats or the 73 Win Warriors or they could lose to GS, another Historically great team. However, there is much more evidence to suggest they are Historically good than there is to suggest they aren't.

You won 60 **** games. 60. Stop putting yourselves on the same level as the 07 Pats or the 73 win Warriors.

I mean, they beat the opposing teams by double digits in literally half of their games. Pretty sure that was good for 2nd best in league history behind the 86 Lakers. I'm not saying they're as good as that team or the teams you mentioned, but I'm pretty sure in terms of advanced statistics, they've been historic.

The Patriots and Warriors in those respective years were literally the best regular seasons in their sport ever. It was a humongous upset that they lost in the finals. It literally shook the sport. Thats historic

Conversely, if the Bucks dont even make the finals it wont cause much more than a minor tremor. Thats not historic.

Does the Bucks board not have a thread or something?

I said it on like post 3 or 4 of this thread— their fanbase has many posters than are insecure AF and theyre gunna flood our threads accordingly.

Theyre wannabe Raptors fans.

I just don’t get why people feel the need to come to other teams boards and vice versa.

We get it, you like your team, you’ve had a great year. Why do any of you give a damn what Celtics fans think?

I know I don’t care one iota what the Bucks board thinks of the Celtics.

Yah, im with you— Ive never understood why people get so indignant that an opposing team’s fanbase may believe in their team.

I feel like Kyrie was just toying around in the Pacers series, letting other guys step up at times. I feel like he's going to wreak havoc in the Bucks series, like we have yet to see in these playoffs.

Giannis actually travels and pushes off a LOT. I'm not even sure who travels more him or Harden. That's debatable. If you tell me that he doesn't travel on post ups, euro-step(s), etc.. I mean you're a fan ofc you root for your team to win and your best player to be successful, but this is really blatant and the comp is not even close to reality. Hell, I can't remember but I'm pretty sure in last year's 1st round playoffs against us I had him traveling 5 times in a game. Literally. His post ups are shoving the guy who's guarding him under the rim with his off hand and then dunking or laying the ball up. That's what I saw. I actually hope for an evenly ref'ed games. That's about it. If it happens, I'd be happy regardless of the results. I doubt it does, but I hope I'm wrong.

Think we'd prefer a later start because of Smarf's potential return?

Curious if most here think getting Smart back, or having them miss Brogdon, is more important to our success against them. In other words, would you rather have them both back, or neither.

fwiw the purpose of me coming here was to have some fun.... including at my own expense. your team and our team are gonna be talking a whole lot more **** on the court than we will here. if we do it right we can get ourselves laughing and make a fun couple weeks out of it. i'll keep my comments in the GB from here on out just so I don't muddle up your thread. that's fair

I think he certainly gets away with a lot, as just about every NBA player and certainly stars do. Personally think comparing him to the egregiousness of what goes on with Harden is a little much but I can understand where the feelings stem from. Think the idea that Giannis is some drastically different player if he's ref'd a little closer is silly though, which again is the main point. Of course you can point out many things refs missed in games but it can easily be done with just about any star in the NBA. ****, Kyrie (and Giannis and just about every player) could be called for a carrying violation virtually every time they dribble the basketball.

unfortunately one is true and the other isn't.

brady's the goat and giannis is a nobody.

i guess that does make giannis a good representative of the bucks
