Brick Ross and Ben Simmons no difference. Certain guys just don't have it either as a batman or a Robin

Embiid is also going to somehow escape slander even though he shot less than 30%

If there was ever a time to spam 3s it's now Brick Ross

Be like Lewandowski wan comot true true. I don't even know if it's better we ship him off or let his contract wind down.

I don't think €40m that's been touted as his sale price gets you anything today. I'd rather we have an MJ Last Dance scenario and move from there because I don't see any replacements out there that the board are targeting. We can at least use next season to start scouting for his replacement

The Grizzlies need to use their size advantage to the fullest. This is not a 3pt shooting contest. You have the edge in size and physicality. If you don't use it you only have yourself to blame

And going back to the Bucks and Celtics. I like that Giannis deliberately took the game to Horford and made sure that even when Horford got the better of him same game he kept coming. This is what makes Giannis so special. He has no fear of failure. That's a very good and rare intangible to have in a great player. It's not really what you can coach.

benji93:
Some would have you believe coaching doesn't matter. Kerr just has the Luxury of Curry, Klay and Draymond. . There's another half sha. Se Sacramento o ra gbese bayi.

Was going to say. Like Mike Brown was a good coach 10 years ago. The Kings really cursed bro

They made Tyus Jones look like Magic Johnson could it be true true that this team is better without Ja Morant? Cause if not for Dillon Brooks this series could have been 2-1 in favor of Warriors

Bucks have lost this game

Wow. Looks like I jinxed it

Holiday. Wow!!

This is pure agony if you're a Bucks fan. Couldn't rebound. And couldn't seal the deal after getting within two possessions

Jaylen Brown can go on those one man 8-0 runs that can turn a 2pt deficit to a 10 point deficit. Frustrating for the opponent

Bucks have lost this game

Ibime:
Why are Vardy and Rooney allowing their wives to wash each others dirty laundry in public. Rooney is even testifying.

Don't these men control their households?

In this modern society is that even possible?

Much better by Milwaukee. Put these guys in foul trouble. We want a nail biting finish

And guys like Portis, Allen, Connaughton. Y'all can't give Giannis 1 good game? Just one

That's more like it Giannis. Stop settling for jumpers. A 36 year old man shouldn't be checking you blad

donlittle25:
He was supposed to come out and make a statement. Abi Hakeem Na come out make statement say he suppose be MVP?

He should grow up. He's not the first to get denied an MVP. What bigger statement than getting to the Finals can be made

I feel like the Bucks are quitting on this game. This meltdown is unacceptable. Boston never lost their poise whenever they were down

Khanben:
Agree with this, he either needs to do what Tatum did this year which is improve on his shot selection which led to a huge increase in his shooting percentage or he does a Kobe and starts hitting those bad shots at a very good percentage. If he doesn't do any of the above, he needs to be shipped out while he has trade value

I wouldn't trade ten tubers of yam for Dillon Brooks

Roland17:
The coach left him on the court primarily because of his defense and that was what Jenkins emphasized on when he answered the question before delving to his offense. In the NBA, if you are constantly open from beyond the arc, it is for a reason. When you go 0-4 you can switch it up and take it to the rack and not allow your opponents play the %s. He is not a shooter to continue shooting.. Shooters are the ones with that mentality not spammers.. You play to your strength..

If he was making the open shots from beyond the arc then that is a different conversation because he is in rhythm but this man is not a shooter but continues to spam the 3s and finished 1-8 and you say he should continue shooting. Well, we can see how the spamming cost them a victory that was well within their grasp.

His first shot was an airball. I've been following Dillon Brooks since the bubble pandemic season. That 24 on his shirt makes him think he's Kobe. He has the worst shot selection in the entire league and I'm not exaggerating.

Whatever they think he offers in defense he will easily offset with his rubbish shot selection. To make the next step he's the first guy Memphis has to trade just like GSW moved Monta and Monta was nowhere as bad as this dude

etidy:
I totally disagree with this take on Trae young.
He's literally one of the best passers in the league. He may not be the most efficient shooter but efficiency is even a modern concert.
I grew up watching kobe, tracy McGrady, allen Iverson and Co spamming difficult shots to get 30 points for 40-45% shooting and it use to be praised as an awesome game.

The fact that trae had one bad series against an elite defense in a heavy lopsided series doesn't mean Trae should get this disrespect.

It's not like he just took his team to the conference finals despite an inferior squad while having multiple elite games.

I've been on record praising Trae Young here so I don't know what you're aiming at. Also I'm laying emphasis on his scoring. Abi wetin connect 3pt spamming with passing?

It's not about the efficiency it's about the fact that his scoring game is not as multifaceted as the guys you listed above. Anybody that knows anything about basketball will know that guarding a Kobe, an AI or T-Mac, Tony Parker would be far more tasking on a defender than guarding a Trae Young. Because they have more tools

Trae's struggles were easy to predict, they took him out to G-League level because he was limited as a scorer like I told y'all he was.

15pts on 31% FG and 18% from 3.

A good defense will reduce your efficiency but not to this level. It will get worse as teams sus him out if he doesn't vary his scoring or cut down on his 3pt spamming that will make his numbers look worse. Especially now that he can't trick refs into cheap fouls like before

Roland17:
Pesin wen barely shoot 30% from 3 during the regular season, reach a vital game in a tough series and anointed himself the 2nd coming of Steph Curry!

Some of these guys lucky say I no be their team mate.

The guy is a menace that I have noted since the Bubble season. Maybe na that 24 wey e dey wear make am believe say him be Kobe but this fool has no bag yet he keeps shooting and shooting his team out of games

No basketball IQ. No feel for the game. He just empties the clip every single time. And in true Dillon Brooks fashion launched a garbage time 3 at the buzzer that went in

etidy:
For what Trae young has done in this league. This constitutes as blasphemy.

I'm referring to Trae Young as a scorer. I never said anything about him as a passer mate.

Khanben:
So you somehow know more basketball than the likes of Kareem, Isiah Thomas, Bird who say the players now are better shooters than they ever were.
As for 12-18fts there was never a time in nba history where those were efficient shots for role players. Why take a shot that you shoot at 40% for a 2 when you can take another where you shoot 35% for a 3. Name me one Star player that does not take 12-18fts, heck even Giannis with his limitations attempts them.

PS: As for Trae looking like a Gleague player when his shoots are not falling, that is the same for every PG who has ever played who is not only undersized but also a poor defender. If his shoots are not falling, all he has is his playmaking and that is not enough to be the number 1 option of a team. This is one of the main reasons why GMs always prefer to draft the bigger and athletic guy because even if they are poor defenders, the combination of size and effort on the defensive end can negate that weakness. But a guy like Trae even effort does nothing for him, so when his shots are not falling, he looks average.

They are better cause they spam it more full stop. No need for long argument

How many people shoot 35% from 3 in playoffs setting on average except the historically great ones like Steph and Klay? You think it's better to spam 3pters than have a reliable bank shot like Timmy or a reliable midrange like Chris Paul?

I've told you Trae does not have as deep an offensive bag as you and most people claimed. He mostly spammed 3s. He gets away with it sometimes but he's been lucky to run into a Sixers with Ben Simmons the previous year. He will run into further problems if he doesn't expand his game beyond 3pt spamming

donlittle25:
Like say you be prophet

They are more skilled yenyenyen

Can Dillon Brooks stop taking shots for the love of God

Memphis finally using their size and physicality and stopping with the bullshittin

Why is Dillon Brooks even allowed to shoot ffs

Dillon Brooks. Ohh my lawdy where did they find this guy?

Bucks 3pt shooting this series has been criminal

Jrue is 5 for 22

Yeah Bucks are in big trouble. Would be shocked if they won

Horford wth

Horford giving Giannis a taste of his own medicine

Where was this Horford for the Hawks all those years? This man is damn near 40, this makes no sense
