I am so careful not to jinx the man because over the last 3 games he has reminded us of who he really he. He is mixing up his offense and facilitating plays on both ends of the court. You are right, if he takes this team to the finals without Kawhi, his respect level will increase.
He needs to see a proper sports psychologist because I've never understood his constant choking and lack of genuine confidence in the past. With his size and skillset he should always be in the top 10 or top 15 conversation

Just look at what small boy Trae Young is doing in Atlanta for example. And he's not nearly as big or as good a shooter

I don't understand Warriors fans wanting Ben Simmons on the team.

After complaining that they needed more spacing, now they want to the team to trade Wiggins for Simmons

Simmons is only a Light skinned Draymond Green

Same here. Giannis needs to take this personal, like Durant has. I want to see bucks v nets and jazz v clippers go to game 7. As for 76ers, its ok, come back next year to continue the Process grin
The man can actually guard KD. I don't know if it's inferiority complex or something. KD is much more naturally talented but Giannis is a beast in his own right but for some reason carries himself like a lamb

Perhaps the same reason some of them place Olajuwon outside top ten. If not for the fact that the guy was just not lucky enough to play with other great players in their prime, we could be talking about him being the GOAT. In fact it turns out that if Ralph Sampson had brought his all-star performance from the Lakers demolition in the Western Conference finals in 1986 to the NBA finals they could have won despite the Celtics featured multiple future All-of-Famers. If there's anyone that has done the most with the least, Olajuwon would be the first to come to mind. People easily place magic in top 5, even though the man played alongside KAJ. NBA analysts just no fit stay one place with their takes grin

So Orgasmic how silent Twitter was. Make Giannis just play Bully ball like he did today and stop settling for 3 pointers. It's an American thing they Just hate it so much when an outsider beats one of their own, but make it make sense and give big Props where it's due.

Exactly the same feel I got when Kamaru KO'ed Masvidal in from if his people despite the Boos and Hate.

For real man, as a mavs fan it might not seem as if I'm objective, but seeing this man shooting 15-19 free throws a game drives me nuts. Well, the nba are reviewing the rules concerning this whole "landing area" rule that these offensive players are exploiting

Embiid and Collins get into tussle.. It’s the playoffs.. One thing I would say though is that Embiid is fond of landing his entire weight on the legs on opponents whenever he is falling and staying on it. It’s one thing to land and try to get off immediately because of the weight and it’s another thing to land and stay on their legs. That was why Collins kicked out..

Something has to be done this off season. It makes the sport unwatchable at times. The way Trae, Harden,Luka Heck even Embiid and quite a few others hunt after fouls instead of playing the game is absolutely pathetic.

Simmons needs to be ashamed of himself. He was a liability the whole game. Regardless of how these playoffs go, Simmons needs to go unless he commits to improving his shooting and free throws in the off season

Interesting stat. Maybe the Jay Williams story is true after all. Durant is very aware of Giannis

It must be disheartening for 76ers seeing that Jojo is the good value player they got from their "Trust the process" mantra. A quick glance at the 2015 to 2017 drafts where they had the 3rd 1st and 1st respectively shows the number of gifted Guards they missed out on to Pair with Joel. Fultz's shoulder injury set them back a bit.

Absolutely not good for the Suns.. During the playoffs, you never want to be away from games for as long as the Suns have been.
